Day Three

Week Number One
Day Number Three

Today is the day that I do not go over to the Elementary School. I do not go over because I am still taking two classes and I had a class at the beginning of the day and then my other class was at the end of the day, so it did not make much sense for me to keep coming and going through the day.

After my Themes class I went and talked to my mentor who is Alex Estin. I told her more about what I have done these last two days and that I am very happy that I decided to do a Senior Project. I also told her that Wednesday is the only day when I am not at the school and I missed the kids a lot! I missed helping them and just over all being there for them when they needed help, I fell very good about myself when I help the kids.

Following my meeting with Alex I thought about ways that I could bring more Spanish into the classroom. Ms. Wallace said that I should think of ways that will be easy and fun for the kids to remember words that can be used in an everyday conversation. Words like this are SER and ESTAR, which means to be. I wail also be teaching them CONOCER and SABER which are different forms of "to know". The ways that I am going to teach the kids these words are by playing some games that I learned while I was in Spain.
