- 30/09 -

Well, this week I was able to assist only to one of the two classes of the week for personal issues... So, this entry will be only about Friday.

That day we learnt about class management,and here there are some super ideas: 

-Keep the attention of the children by moving hands or singing songs.
- Give instructions correctly and check if they've understood. 
- Tell your feelings/ how disappointed you are with them NO PUNISHMENT

We also talked about what and how children need to learn. They have to learn by structured sessions, so the teacher has to do it properly; we have to give them routines and learning environment; search for interesting and meaningful topics; contribute to variety; connect with the pupils (feedback) and review.  

We learnt that for starting English sessions it's important to guess the topic, know the age of the students, put some learning outcomes and finally use a specific methodology. While teaching it's relevant to use ordinary classroom language, in that way the children will understand you better. 

It was surprising how we ended the class. The teacher brought a box and told us about The magic box idea.

It's a great idea to encourage the kids to talk and speak.


Firts of all, you have to make a question:

WHAT IS IN THE BOX?
That will help to use prediction/ Foster the use of language/ play with curiosity and attention/ Interaction

Second one, you have to make the second question:

WHAT CAN BE IN THE BOX?
Possible answers: Pictures/ Toys/ Story book/ real objects/ Video/ Nature elements, etc. 

I thinks this idea will be effective with kindergarten but it can also be done with 1st and 2nd grade of Primary Education. 


Hope you like it!
