And finally..our first class at the school has arrived. It was last Thursday. And though Micaela gave it, I payed careful attention to the students and the teacher in order to comment something about it.
Ok!...students got really enthusiastic with all the visual material we took to the class, posters and flashcards, and they said to their teacher... "Miss, you never teach us this way"..we didn't know where to hide with Micaela because the truth is that the classes given by their teacher are very poor in terms of material and motivation.
Micaela felt really comfortable and students showed truly helpful.
There was a group of girls which appeared to be really shy. I think it will be one of the challenges for us: "to make them participate by making them feel they are able to do it as all the others!"
Boys are not shy at all, in general.
The class is balanced between boys and girls and they are thirty students. What I did notice is that they are not the same age. There are many who are repeating this 8th year at school and not for the first time. Their ages are between 13 and 17 years old. So, that is also challenging for us who will have to answer to the interests of a wide age span.
Let's see how we manage! I'm very optimistic and trustful about the students abilities and open attitudes to us and the subject itself.
I hope that time will confirm my positive feelings.
