At the begning of the course I thought that woring with kids was going to be difficult because I had not worked with kids before and even though I had a son and I spend a lot of time with my cousin and niece, managing a big group was going to be difficult. Working with kids is a difficulty for teaching and I can tell that it is not since working with with kids is the most rewarding activity I have ever made.
That feeling that you got when you see those kids pronouncing words in english cannot be compare with anything.
When we started the first lesson I had some difficulties mostly with my attitude toward stidents, some flashcards that did not meet the size required and the organization of our group was not that good.
In our second performance we lacked organization and this was a bit problem at the time of performing since it affected us a lot because we had to skip the wrap due to lack of materials.
In our third participation I feel that we did a great job and I overcame most of my problems since I showed a very good attitude toward students and as a group we were really organized; However, I still have to improve my voice projection.
Throughout the course, we have been getting ready for our kids by having some talks with an expert on coping with stage fright and how to speak in public and I believe that it was very helpful since Improvement was shown on the performancecs.
It has been an amazing experience since I learned a lot about kids which is something that is going to be very useful for me not only because I am a teacher but because I am a father of a beautiful 11th moths child. This is a learning experience for all my life and I hope to keep increasing my knowledge in order to be a leader in the classroom.
Tomas, this is a very good moment to make a pause and think carefully about the things you did with your group and look back at the problems you may have had. Maybe it would had been different if you had had worked individually, we don´t know. The only thing we know is that you lived this experience with your classmates and the most important is what you learned from them. Keep those memories in mind and put them in practice whenever you have the opportunity to work with more than one child that is not your son. We must be aware that the world of a father and a teacher are two different things. Good luck!
