Play-time period



When I arrived at school today, I was told that I was going to go to a class where 2nd and 3rd grade students join together and play for an hour and a half. It was interesting to see them together and watch how they cooperated together for the whole class period. Some of the students were off-task but the teacher told me that the students have already played with everything since the beginning of the year, so it was much harder to keep their attention throughout the whole time. I think it is interesting to see the students play with toys that they can connect with the English vocabulary they are learning. The students play with settings like; the circus, house, and airport.

Library

Image
While I was working on my lesson to teach next week, I had to go to the library. This was the first time that I actually stepped foot inside and I was amazed. I thought the library layout was great, but it lacked books. It looked like more of a theatre room but I liked the way it could invite the students in to read and how it had statues like the ones pictured above around the room. The room also has many colors and spots for the students to read throughout the day. I like the set-up of the library and I would like to see more stuff like this in Texas.

First day in Vic

The first day at Vic January 27, 2020 The first day at Vic I got out of bed at 7am. After I showered, I went down the stairs to meet with Hailey and Sarah and had breakfast. After breakfast we went to the lobby of the Hostel and met with a representative from the University of Vic named Angel. He was an extremely nice guy and walked around all of Vic, we went to everyone of our schools and talked to the mentor teacher we will be with for the next couple of weeks. My teacher, Imma, is very nice and helpful. She knows a great amount of English and it is very easy to talk to her. After we all talked to our teachers, we all went to lunch and I had the steak with French fries. It was delicious! Today was an overall great day and I am happy to be here. Until next time...

Inside the classroom

Image
Once I entered the school, I was very shocked when I started walking around and noticing the differences between schools in Vic and Texas. The first thing I noticed was that there are no water fountains in the school. I was looking for water when I noticed the students have their own cups and drink out of the sink. It is not surprising though because Vic has filtered water and is safe to drink sink water here. The other thing I noticed was the tennis balls at the end of all of the desk poles. This is because the classrooms have no carpet and it stops the screeching sound when the desk or chairs are being dragged.
