Luis R. Torres Cotto Prof. Nilsa Lugo EDPE 4018 – 001 Weekly Reflection #7 29-3 of September/October, 2014 I started this week toughly. This Monday I felt really bad, since I failed miserably into creating a good
kinder lesson plan. My teacher seemed pissed at how badly my
performance was. I took everything and learn immensely. I blame myself for the lack of adaptation of how kinder operates but that should be excused. There after I fixed and re do my again and did better. I laughed at how much paperwork teacher need t copy for the students, at least I have just eleven students t give copies and not over thirty. I on Tuesday receive news that my plans needed to be adapted because of scheduling and exams for the students. Later that week my teacher got sick and we could not do much. The week and everything else was moved for next week meaning plans need to be adjusted. This week situation I feel that Although I wasn't at school I still learned. Situations like this happen regularly in the school system. I learned how to re schedule on the fly and how plans fade away because a situation happened. I know that we should avoid missing school as teachers but, I got a glimpse of how to deal with the diverse situations. I learned that to avoid sick students and to always have preventive methods for not getting sick. Teacher have huge responsibilities at work thus we need to take care of ourselves.

Teacher should be proactive and at the moment they notice something will happen reschedule. Teachers should be aware of their surroundings, weather and holidays. The students seem to be less those type of days when something extraordinary is happening. Then, teacher should avoid undermining their students education with giving a lot of material those days or simply not going to school. I have also learned discussed with others the course of action, since is always best to have someone no and possibly take over the students so nothing bad happen to them while outside of class. We practice teacher are always learning.
