This week as a good week !!  I took over another class !!  

As I said this week was a great week I finally feel that my CT and I are having great communication and that we are on the same channel before I used to feel like if we were from totally different worlds. The most memorable moment of this week has to do with my CT and myself. On thursday during our conference period my CT and I were just talking about the activities we want to do with our students next week and all of the sudden she asked me if I needed anything  or that if I wanted to learn something specifictly from her or If she was being too hard or harsh with me by giving so many duties I answered by  saying that I didnt think that she was being harsh or being abusive by giving those duties to me and I thanked her for trusting me by giving me those duties and I told her that I just needed it to learn as much as I can from her.. This really made me feel that she cares for me and that she is really trying to help me learn. I have the feeling that she feels more comfortable with me and that I have earned her trust.

This week I learned that its extremely important for a foreign teacher to speak in the target language 24/7. Students really enjoy hearing the target language I  say this because I noticed that my students sometimes come before or after school to ask me how to say this and that in spanish I think they are really enjoying having a  student teacher that is a native speaker that speaks to them mostly in spanish.

This week My CT and I talked about how important was to always be at the time the teachers are required to be on campus and how helpful are  those  extra 45 minutes we are in the classroom before our first class. The reason we talked about this was becuase the head of the spanish department is never  on campus at 7:45  as she is supposed to, she is always arrives around 8:10 and sometimes there are students waiting for her. My CT told me that she was happy because I am always on time.
