Today, we was in Special classes and I can realized that the students in this classroom take a wonderful time with their 3 teachers. There we had a great time observing the patient and dedication that the teachers teach to their students. In Panama we don't have this special class because all the students are in the same classroom and we as a teachers look for strategies and techniques maybe in the internet to try some activities for help them.  Is so hard, but it students will have the same opportunities to learn as another students, but I think that our governments try to make a special class for them an prepare persons for teach students with disabilities.

Hello, Today, the first activity was about each children interacted in the class finishing The Bubble Map about Things That like in winter, they also coloring the bubbles with different colors. Another important thing that call me attention was,  every day students spend a lot of time reading different books, and I heard when the teacher took them,  second graders begin to read quiet in their brain, they have to star reading with their voice in their head., because in second grade the knowledge grow up through the reading. For me this is really amazing, because in Panama the students don't like read, and in second grade most of them don't read anything, and here in USA is a custom for a lot of people. When I come back to Panama to my house,  I will prepare a reading corner for my 2 daughters, and I try to increase them the good habit for reading and I will buy many books for them. 

Today at Parson Hills Elementary, for me was another great experience, because teachers from kindergarten work totally different that teachers from second grade. Mrs. Pekel is an active teacher, today she used a great strategy "Bubble map", and I think,  I can apply in my school this strategy because is easy to understand for all of the students, and also is a easy way to develop different topics.

This week was an amazing experience for me, because Ms. Faldon gave me many tips and different strategies that I will apply when I come back to Panama. For me was really interesting because I can participated in different class such as Art, Music, PE, Library and now I know a different way how I can teach English, only I have to see how can do this in Panama because teachers in Panama don't have the tools to work like here, but I try to find a good way to do my best with things I saw here. I love the kindergarten kids
