Blog 1 First Day Reflections

Hi everyone. ✌

In my first day I got to meet two courses, both TB1. First my team teacher and I introduce ourselves. We talked about our expectations, feelings and likes. Then, we played 2 truths 1 lie in small groups. I learned some of the students’ names, hobbies, and dreams. Then we did other activities, such as an emoji game and a bamboozle. Finally, we closed with the rules for the class and some information about platforms and dates. We did the same with the other course. 

 

(This was my chart for the emoji game 😅)

From this experience I want to highlight that even if both courses were at the same level, the number of students, time and classroom layout changed how I felt. For example, with the first class, I was a little nervous and shy, so I remained more time seated, but the teacher often invited me to participate and talk with the students, while with the second class a was more relaxed and comfortable.

This first experience was really meaningful for me. The KTP program really surpassed all my expectations and I’m really eager to see how the class progresses and see what I can contribute during my practicum. 💕
