Lesson 1

During this first lesson, I was expecting to see more kids, but the 7 students that attended to classes even if they were few, it was really surprising how they were eager to learn, also I expect this class to be very dynamic.

The class started with the the  hello song, there were some troubles with the audio, but the way that teacher Brian solve the problem was good, they decided to sing the song. they include mimics that make it even more interesting. And in fact, I would like to do something similar, rather than singing it only with  our voices, I will have the song and we will sing it aloud integrating mimics, as they did.

And the moment for introduction the vocabulary of the class starts. Teacher Thomas started to introduce the vocabulary, and in order to choose the student that had to answer, he decided to play something like hot potato, students started to pass the ball and the one that had it at the end when teacher Thomas said stopped, was the one who answer it. The visual aids were the ones that students needed to fill, there was a letter missing for each of the words they were encountering, for example: scissor / sc_s_or.
Students enjoy the activity, and something that I really like was that, one of the students had problems to write the word “scissor”, he was just confusing the letters, but teacher tomas used cooperative learning and he asked to students to help their classmate.

After that, teacher Eunice started to teach them some of the classroom actions they perform in their daily basis. In order for Teacher Eunice introduce this, she used some pictures, and she was asking around for students to repeat the classroom actions that were in the pages.  Teacher Eunice was asking around, and I really like it because she was encouraging  students to participate, but something I would have made different, is that i would have pasted the visual aids so students had it for help.
Some of the classroom actions that were presented were:
-Coloring a picture.
-Gluing shapes.
-Listening to a story.
-Using the computer.

Teacher William introduced the present continues in the question: What is she/he doing? and What are they doing?.  In order for teacher William introduce this, he used the classroom actions Teacher Eunice presented. Teacher William, first  make students repeat each of the questions, and then he starts to convine questions and answers based on classroom action, for example 1.What is she doing? She is gluing shapes. 
Something I really like during teacher William activity is that he make the other other teacher perform a classroom action and student had to guess, it was very interesting how this motivate the students.

Teacher Eduardo continues practicing the questions and the classroom activities, he point out aging the pronunciation of the questions and the answers  and he made a competition game in order for students to practice more on classroom activities.
I think this is one of the best strategies a teacher can use, because we know that kids are motivated just when they hear the word game.

And for the end of the lesson, teacher Brian concludes the lesson with a game. He gave some pieces of paper with some sentences like: He is using the computer. She is gluing shapes. They are listing to a story.  And with those sentences, students had to match it with the pictured they had in the wall.
I really like this activity because its how you know students had acquired the knowledge of what they were taught.

And now its time to say goodbye, teacher Brian close the class with the song “After a while crocodile”.

This first lesson was very significant, and I am saying this because it was  the first real class that students had with us, and starting from this class, students will know what they expect and how they expect clases to be. They might be kids, but since they are learning a foreign language they might expect it to be interesting, and it  might be because is now where we as a new generation of  teachers need to show them that English is very interesting and fun language.

I really like the activities they chose, the class was well developed, and students were encourage to participate, the only thing I would have change is to have more visual aids, since they are kids, I think they play important role in the learning process of students.
