Tuesday 22nd

Today has been the first day of Núria, our new English teacher. She is the English teacher substitute (p4 to 4^th grade). She is really nice and lovely and I think we are going to learn lots of things from her.  

Also, today I have done my first intervention. I have done it during the English class in 4^th grade after the break time. It isn’t one of my 5 interventions from my teaching unit, but Núria brought me the opportunity to participate in class.

First of all, I have presented the daily song “What’s the weather like, today?”, they have sung and chanted.  After that, we played with different flashcards (actions flashcards like: climbing, throwing the ball, catching the ball, running, swimming, walking, jumping…) I have started asking: What is this? And the students have answered quickly. They enjoy playing with flashcards. Probabbly we have spent 35 minutes doing this activity.

Then we have begun the main activity. We did a reading. The students have read the story 4 times in different ways. It's important to make students understand what they are reading, no matter how many times they have to read, because the main objective is the comprehension of the text. 

The class went well; little by little I’m feeling more comfortable and confident teaching.  I think pupils have enjoyed the lesson. This group of students is motivated with English, they pay attention all the time and you can see they are learning and having fun.
