My first week

Today has been the end of my first week, and strangely today has been holiday! These days have been good but a little chaotics. A few teachers have been sick and it has had more movement in the school.

2-3 years old
The activities that I have developed in these days have been an evaluation, because it has been the end of the Unit. Almost all children have known all flashcards and have recognized the blue colour through discrimination of this colour.

I liked how children have adquired the knowledge that I have shown them, but I feel the pupils was distracted while I evaluated other pupils. This could change if I change the way to evaluate. If I evaluate some pupils, the others could do other things such as manipulating, playing...

1-2 years old
The activities that I have developed with this children have been through manipulation of winter clothes, playing with a scarf and hat, manipulating blue things...

I´m amazed how children so small can understood all that I say them in English. In fact, they learn a lot of things in this language. I only have to speak with them in English, I have to show them things and, inmediately, to say their names in English and later, they can recognize them. I´m impressed with it. Before, I couldn´t believe that anyone could teach english to children who are 1 or 2 years old, but now I´m doing it.

I´m so happy!

Pío Pío School

Pio Pio is a Kindergarten Centre. It is situated in Alcobendas, Madrid. This centre is constituted by twelve classrooms. Two classrooms for babies, five classrooms for children to 1-2 years old and five classrooms for children to 2-3 years old.

My functions in this school are different. I´m the english teacher in activity period and later, I´m an auxiliar. I help the teacher with children in several moments: playground, meal, sleeping... I have to speak to children in english in all these moments.

I am delighted to be working here!
