This past week was actually a really good .. The most memorable moment was when one of my Special Ed. Students did not want to leave my class he kept on hugging me and refusing to go to his next class. This moment really made my day, I did not even know that this student appreciates me so much. One of his teachers told me that one day he was absent he called the school and he talked to his special Ed. teacher and said that he was crying because he was going to miss Spanish class. I was really happy to hear that. This was beautiful moment and I will keep it all my life.

What I learned this week as a Foreign language teacher was that sometimes students learn more from this classes than from their classes and students enjoy are classes better than their core classes. I say this because several of my students say that their english and history classes are really boring that they never do work and if they do is all worksheet based and they finish the wok really quick and then they have free time. I was really amazed because I never thought that students would do more work in their language classes than their core classes.

My CT and I talked about the importance of getting to know students very well and to always make them feel special and that we care about them because that way when they are in our classrooms they feel safe and they feel that they can trust us and open to us if they have problems.
