Day 9~ FTGC 📓

 Monday Morning~

I saw how students arrive to school by 7:20AM, and line up for the pledge and announcements. Our host teacher had us say a few words to the whole school. The first class starts at 7:30AM.

Later we returned around 9:30AM to observe 2 classes. The first class I observed was a mathematics class for 3°. Students were learning about proportions and solving for the variable x in linear and quadratic equations. Teacher lectured and had students take notes and solve problems. They were using a science lab room since it was bigger to fit the whole class.

They have a daily break from 10:30 - 10:50AM and the next class starts at 11:00AM.

The second class I observed was an English class for Grade 4°. The teacher spoke English the whole time, and the students worked in groups of 4 or 5. They used an IB curriculum, and were just starting a new unit, which connected to one of the five themes in IB: human ingenuity. The unit will take 4 weeks and students will produce a written product and an oral product.

It was nice to be able to observe two classes this morning before lunch and then have the afternoon off to rest and reflect. I've been able to keep up on reflecting on each day, but I've been exhausted with the long days... tonight we have the option to join students for mass at the local church in Chontabamba, but I am going to take time to rest. Tomorrow we have a fuller day with plans in the morning and afternoon.
