I'm going to miss them, definitely!
...They wrote to me:
Miss Vanesa :0) "Las clases estuvieron muy lindas porq' fueron muy didácticas y muy divertidas y aprendimos mucho. Muchas gracias. Besos! Suerte--Good Luck"
And this... they wrote to both of us: Mica and me:
..."Se les entiende bien cuando explican. Explican bien. Son divertidas las clases. Good Luck! Emilia" /
..."I had fun working with you. You will be great teachers one day. The best of lucks. Eleonora."
I will really miss them. But well, that's life..learning to cope with losses. However, Are they losses? Or rather temporary achievements that leave great satisfactions!
Today I got a deep feeling of satisfaction..I could see students doing their tests, enjoying to see ..appreciating how much they learned..how well they were doing!! That cannot but be a deep enchanting satisfaction!! TEACHING fills my heart with enchanting hope for human nature. Change is possible!! Gradually and with drops of effort in every little thing we communicate...
CHANGE will be brought about!
The possibility of change in students is what fills me with enchanting excitement and passion for the teaching profession!

A longing of my soul...
Dear Lord...
Touch the hearts of parents, so that with prompt charity, wise care, and loving devotion they be for their sons and daughters sure guides towards spiritual and eternal values.
Let it be so!

What a class today!
;0)
I can say today's class was a true accomplishment in that it was my last one and in that I tried to make the best of it! Micaela and me are undeniably tired...! You know..university classes, exams, interviews and teaching practicum..! This keeps on being a real challenge and will continue being so till Friday!
However, there are too many things positive worth considering. We achieved that students WORK in class and that they feel interested in the topic. Students showed themselves enthusiastically involved in the task "writing an e-mail to apply for a job position"...Teenagers getting involved in so boring a task??? Well..YES!! Our teachers provided us with great ideas to make students feel close to the task..a task that normally sounds really boring. The recipe was to provide students with job positions like..."cultural events organizer" or..."Trip planner"..among others. Positions that are common in a school setting and that will be found in a Students council.
There is one important thing I must keep on improving and that's ..my use of the blackboard. As I clearly understood today is "the task of the teacher is to facilitate student's learning". And learning how to manage with the blackboard in an organized way is going one step further towards that task!!
