12th or April
This was my first day as a teacher, in fact, I´m not teacher yet, but from today, I can feel like one. My day started earlier than every day, I woke up at 5.30, why? Just nervous, I knew that day would be very important in my life. It was the first time that I go to a class wearing a white coat, so for me was an important moment, also, I started this difficult way as a teacher in the school which formed me between 2004 and 2013, Colegio Arriarán Barros. When I arrived at the school I knew perfect where the classrooms were, so I said ¨Hello¨ to everybody with a big smile, just like when I was a student. The moment of come back to the school was very special too. When I come to the teacher´s room I met with all my teacher, some of them were surprised, because they didn´t know that I was studying English pedagogy. When the class started, my guide teacher presented me very briefly, and then I could present myself with the whole class, it was a 11th grade, so some of the students known me before, for that reason they were kind with me. In the first part of the class, I was at the bottom of the classroom, just listen and writing what the teacher said, while the teacher explained some grammar (present perfect), I was taking notes in my notebook. Then, when the teacher gave some exercises, I started to walk around the class, answering questions and helping students. I felt very well because I could help some students with their doubts. After these exercises, the teacher explained other topic (difference between past simple and past continuous) and I was quiet at the bottom again. When the class finished, my teacher told me that my participation was very good, although I was very nervous at the beginning of the class, my behavior was good, because I was proactive but every time with respect, so that was very important for me, because I knew that my teacher was happy with my work. I hope that my next classes will be as good as this one, because I really enjoyed the time inside the classroom.
