Throughout these two weeks, I have known more of my students. I know that the kids of pre-school and first grade love to make drawings and art and craft. The kids of second, third and fourth grade love to sing the songs that they have on their books, which is called "our world". And the fifth grade loves to play games after each lesson as a way of reviewing the topics.
After knowing them, I plan the classes according to their likes and always taking into account the activities that are already set in the book. But, they don't like to work on the book a lot. For that reason, I take a lot of different activities to the classroom. Activities such as: drawing the new vocabulary, songs, art and craft, and games.
There was one time that I try to do a role play with fifth graders, but they couldn't and didn't like to do it because they had to create the dialogues based on a story. They like more to learn the dialogues instead of creating them.
One problem that I have is the management of the time. I sometimes spend time much with one topic and when it is time to pass to the other topic I have not finished the previous one.

Journal #1
The main reason why I started working is that I don't want to start my first teaching practicum without any experience. I started to work at Santa Clara de Hungria school on July 15th. I work with the whole primary: from pre-school to fifth grade. Every Friday, I have to give to the academic coordinator a folder with the lesson plan for the next week.
On the first day of class, I was very excited and nervous because it was going to be my first time teaching children at a school. Planning the activities for that week was a difficult process since I have to plan the activities for three classes per grade in the week. It was difficult to plan different and didactic activities because children like to do different and new things, and they don't like to work on the same activity for a long time.
Doing the activities with the youngest children (pre-school and first grade) was another difficult process. They are all cute, but they have a big problem and it is that they are running all the time around the classroom and playing all the time. I felt that the activities that I planned for them weren't good enough to keep them focus in the class.
For that reason, I would take different activities to the classroom for the next class to keep children more interested and focused in the class.
