First of all sorry for posting this a little late.. the reason its because I am doing total teach and I been suuper busy.. I am sorry once again…

The most memorable moment last week was a really sad moment.. One of my students told me that he hated spanish class , then I asked him why, he said because spanish class was a little complicated and because they too much work. This comment made me really sad.. I dont think I give them a lot of work I think the work its just enough for them to practice the language and for them to really learn the material. This comment has been in the back of my head all last week and this week he made feel me that I failed as a teacher in one way or another.

This week I learned that as a language teacher you will often be asked to do things besides teaching. The reason I say this its because as a bilingual teacher I was asked twice this past week to translate for counselors and student’s families. This experience taught me that as a teacher you will not always be teaching you will also be given assignments that not always relate to teaching.

My CT and I have been talking about is the importance of always reflecting after teaching because that way you will see the mistake you made and improve your teaching strategies.
