Last week was a really good week for me I feel that my CT and I are getting a long better and better also our communication has improved. The most memorable moment for this week was when two of my students told me that they liked me better than my CT, I asked the two students what was the reason they liked me better than Mrs. Ramirez (my CT) and they said because I made class more fun and because I speak a lot of spanish to them. The comments that these two students made about me made me feel so good because it tells me that in some way or another I am reaching my students.

I feel that I have grown a lot as a foreign teacher I learned this week that its very important to prepare and plan everyday and for every lesson. I also learned that is always good to have a back up if things dont go well as you had planned also to have little fun activities for students to do if there is free time after lesson.

My cooperating teacher give me and advice she told me to talk a little louder this comment was very surprising because I always thought that my voice was loud even when I was little my mom used to tell me all the time that I need it to talk more quietly. Another very important thing that CT shared with me was that the beauty about this profession was that if a part of your lesson plan goes wrong with one class or just dosen’t fly you have the next class period to change and improve it.

I don’t have any concerns other than just wish that the communication between my CT and I was a little better.
