Elementary School all over Again
Last weeks class the VIPS people came in and what I learned blew my mind. I had to admit when they started showing us the powerpoint I thought "oh no this is going to be sooo boring", but as Whinnie started talking I was surprised it was very interesting. I liked how Whinnie told us her teaching methods of phonemes and things; i found it really helpful and could see how children would like that. When we had to say the sounds outloud I felt a little dumb because half of the letters I could not say. I also found it interesting to know that some Spanish people or Spanish speaking people have trouble determining the "sh" and "ch" sounds. By going over these sounds outloud I was able to relate to an Elemenatry child learning and it really helped. I also like when we got to play the games children play, and I have to admit the "snake rhyming game" was harder than it look (well atleast for me it was). When VIPS left I was excited to share what I had just learned but I am also nervous to go into the schools and teach children, well its a nervous exciting feeling. I hope I do a good job and I hope the children like me. =) Does anyone have the same feelings?
