| Jean Paul and Lourdia answering questions I put on the board |
My students are great, in fact, they are amazing. After 2 or 3 hours of class, they still have plenty of energy. They participate in class, ask questions, ask me to repeat a word 10 times until they get the right pronunciation, they always want me to teach them more material - to the point that sometimes I am the one who is exhausted! How can they still be here listening to me?! Well, it's their determination that motivates me to plan my classes everyday, to try to come up with fun ways of practicing verbs tenses and new vocabulary.

| Myself with the students, practicing verbs in groups Yes, It's been 3 weeks since I started teaching and although I sometimes doubt my capabilities to do so, I never doubt theirs. It's a great feeling really, when you see your students are able to apply something you've just showed them. I am grateful for their patience with me. The State exams aren't over yet, so I expect to have more students show up this week and next, which adds to the challenge of adapting. It means that I have to make sure I am not going over old material and boring my other students by trying to help out the new ones. Almost every class, one of the students turns into a little helper and will show and explain to other students the material from last class. Extending what I would call one of KCH's motto to constantly Pay it forward, that's what my students do with no hesitation: they help one another, it's reciprocity and exchange. |
But now, it's time to plan some homework and a midterm exam!
