Write a reflection about the classes you oriented this week (bear in mind the following aspects: what you planned, what you did, and what you would do differently if you were to teach your lessons again). Give examples and descriptions of those situations that, in your view, are relevant to your learning experience. 
First grade. During this week, we did not have class on Monday. On Wednesday, we began with a new topic that was foods and drinks, students liked the topic, I gave them a handout with the food pyramid, we analyzed it and then I presented the vocabulary. Later, I gave another handout where students had to color and write the food’s or drink’s names. Finally, students reported orally their favorite food and favorite drink, they liked the topic, the class environment was warm and students were well-behaved.
Second grade. We did not have class on Monday. On Wednesday, I did a review about weather vocabulary and students worked in handouts. At the end of the class, students had to answer a small questionnaire about the topic and with this activity, I could notice that the majority of the students understood the topic.
Kindergarten. With Kindergarten we began with the topic boy or girl. It was an easy topic to understood for students.
In absolute terms, I consider that student’s English level is good and it let me have a very well progression and development in the teaching process. It is also an advantage for students because they have a very good development in their learning process. The most notable problem is indiscipline however, they have had an improvement in their behavior.

Educational Autobiography

Educational Autobiography I studied the five years of my primary education in the countryside. As we know, the majority of the schools in the countryside are far away from home, I had to walk 30 minutes every day to arrive school. When I was in third grade I deserted school for 3 months. I did not want to go to study because days ago my family had received an anonymous letter asking for money and threaten us if we did not do what they want or if maybe we tell the police about what was happening to us. I was so scared and I thought that if I go to school maybe those bad people arrive home and something horrible could happen to my family. When the nightmare for us finished, the school teacher send me a letter telling me that it had been three months in which I did not attend to class also, that I had some many absences and if I did not arrive at school I could fail third grade, so I decided to go back at school. I finished my primary education there and I always was the best in school...

Metaphor

Students are a blank piece of paper, a symbol of limitless potential. Teachers are the pen that fills up the paper with knowledge of both the world and the curriculum; with tips and tools that the students may employ as they learn to navigate the world on their own. Teachers are the hands that fold the paper into an airplane and make the students feel as if they could fly. Teachers are the recyclers that find a purpose for the sheet that was previously cast aside. As a pen, teachers fill the minds of students with basic theory’s, concepts and terms to establish a general knowledge base about the world we live in. Teachers can foster self-esteem in children by acknowledging or rewarding exceptional efforts. When a teacher believes in a child, a child will believe in a teacher and feel as though they can tackle anything (feel like they can fly). Lastly, it is the unfortunate truth that, for whatever reason, some students feel as though they are left behind. This does not...

On Monday, students had to complete a format with their personal information, also they had to study that information because they will introduce themselves in the other classrooms such as kindergarten and second grade. Only one student finished to complete the format with her information, she went to second graders to introduce herself, she did it very well and second grader’s students understood it. On Wednesday, all the students had to introduce themselves to another class...
