JOURNAL 3

During this week, I was working with some songs to learn vocabulary, and also I made an interesting activity with second grade, in which they could identify the fruits. The activity consisted in preparing a salad fruit, so the previous class they were assigned to bring for the class some strawberries, bananas and grapes. Finally I asked them to show me their bananas, strawberries, to see if they were able to identify the fruit, and the result was good. Also, I told them the instructions to prepare the salad in English, using body language.

On the other hand, I saw a good behavior in first grade, something that surprised me because they always dismibehave. What I worked with them was a song about family that they liked, they were repeating the song. Also, they wrote the correct name of each member of the family according to the picture in a handout that I delivered them.

Finally, I think that it was good week. I think that what I have to improve is to look for strategies to control the discipline in first grade due to the fact that my tone of voice which does not help me, when they start to scream. I have to raise my voice, which is a good effort since at the end I get exhausted.
