True Colors

True Colors.

 I started to wonder... "What was the activity about? What are we about to do?" By listening to a song,  an interesting  activity was about to begin. At first, a survey "True Colors Survey classified by category helped me to analyze each aspect of my personality , first my values, then my motivations, communication, work, supervision, recreation, childhood, youth, education, love, that helps me to identify which is mytrue color, my personality, my taste, my  way of dealing with people and my way of treating them and expectations of life.

Being organized into groups, according to our color, in my opinion, helped us to display the aspects of our personality by using out imagination as a team, to decide what will be better to write or draw on our poster. My personal color is blue, blue people like to bring unity to society. I learned that it keeps everybody working together. Blues are the mediators of the world, the peacemakers. In my personal case I would say that one of my most prominent characteristic is that I value close relationships. To me, my family and friends are the most important thing. I would do whatever it takes to make them feel happy, secure and comfortable. Also, it is important for me to have opportunities to be creative, when I create things, I can be myself, I can express better, and it gives me more concentration if I am doing more than one thing at a time. Creating things in my case, reflect who I am, and my personal feelings and opinions, so it is of high value for me to be allowed to do that.

Diamond (Diamante) Activity

De
Being able to write a poem is not an easy task for me, but with this activity I've found that writing a poem using something as easy as the 5 senses and looking to a colorful picture to inspire you, can help you a lot. I didn't know about such an amazing technique, and I think it could help my students at school a lot when writing their own short simple poems in class and since I teach science, it is easier for me to implement the senses techniques when we teach that topic to our kids. Things like plants animals people, stages of life or even food are nice topic to inspire them to create a poem and in the same way for me to get to know their feelings, preferences and emotions even better.

Encouraging the positive behaviour

De
We as a teachers sometime make a common mistake; When there is a disruption or interrumption during the class, we tend to call on the kid who is not doing the right thing. With this observation, I have learnt that kids imitate a lot, and if we always tend to call on the person who is doing the bad thing, the other kids are more likely to imitate that  bad behaviour because they want the teacher to notice them, and the class would become a mess. Kids who do the right thing could even start to feel that it is not woth it to do something good because no one notices it, and as a teacher that's the last thing we want to happen. How nice it is when the teacher only focuses on the good behaviour and congratalates kids for that, because kids will often want to do the right thing and even if there is one single studying misbehaving, he or she will eventually want to do the right thing to when they see others making good choices.

Night school movie

De
We had the amazing experience of going to the movies here in Arkansas, I personally am not a movie person and I thought I was not going to like it but I really enjoyed this movie in particularly called "Night School". It was about a man who had dyslexia and other problems and for that reason he was very bad when doing maths or when studying, but along the movie, even thought he kept failing the tests to graduate, and everyone lost faith in him except for his teacher (even his father), he finally could graduate. This taught me important lessons: First, it taught me that we should never give up. Second, it made me realize the huge effect that it has when a teacher strongly believes in his/her students no matter how many times they fail or that it seems impossible for them to succeed. And I would really like to apply that strong conviction in them when I go back to Panama and see them again.
