Hello, once more today. I come to talk about the reading class developed by Karla Jovel, Marisol Lozano, and Kevin Alas. let's start talking about Karla's performance, she started with the review, it did not take her a lot of time because the children already knew the vocabulary so that helped her move quickly to the warm-up,  the activity they had as warm-up was very good was to solve a puzzle, the children were very entertaining doing it was a good activity , then she starts to teach the new vocabulary, This is one of the most important parts of the class, since this person is in charge of having the children memorize the new vocabulary that has been added to the paragraph that is being used to read and this is one of the parts that steals the most time and this time it was not the exception since it took a lot of time, but it was completely necessary . also, she added some adjectives and the children understood them and learned super fast. she developed another ...

for us as students, being a teacher seems simple, but it stops to look simple until it's your turn to be in their shoes and you start to be a teacher. and believe me be in the shoes of a teacher is not simple, we all have great expectations of our future performance as teachers, we create perfect planning, material, and decoration but the truth is that nothing ever comes out perfect, there are always unforeseen, mistakes and as a teacher you must learn to handle it. Let's start with my experience I was with mixed emotions I did not know whether to be happy for the new experience that was presented to me or to be nervous about the fact that it was going to be my first time in life that I was going to teach children, I'm not going to lie I was skeptical about teaching children, I was wondering if I was going to be a good teacher, so I thought it was a good idea to mentalize myself that it was going to be a success or a failure, I was ready for both options .to be my fi...
