In the last class in teaching practicum 1, we received a guest from Don Bosco University, she is a teacher for adolescence, the lesson was focus on activities that we can develop with adolescence; she taught activities that we can use for grammar, reading  and other for example the triangles or a book. It will very useful for my next teaching practicum. This subject showed the real environment that I will face with kids, besides it encouraged me to face a real situation I the future, I really appreciated the university the amazing experience with kids. Sometimes was really difficult for me to create the lesson and tried to control the behavior for them.

This session was really different because we receive a special guest called Gabriela who is a teacher for kids, she provide us useful information to deal with students from 2 to 4 years old. She made to us realize the environment in a classroom, the situation that it might be presented during a session with kids. For example; kids are very honest with their thinking, they can be complicated in the way that   they might to the parents, the unusual behavior in order that someday they wanted to run other just they want to be quite. Besides, she provide with pieces of advice to face those situations, for instance; to be carefully with the physical connection with them in order to avoid future trouble with their parents, to create activities to control their hyperactive behavior etc. The information was really interesting and useful to use it in a future kids lesson.
