When I asked the teacher about her roles and responsibilities to fill the
checklist I found out that it was really short, so I had to add more roles and
responsibilities than what was there. I noticed that teachers have a lot of
things to do in one day.

I tried to get involved with students activities in the classroom, so I offered

my help to the MST. She accepted my offer by giving me a little game as a
worm up before the lesson. At the beginning of the class I said hi, introduced
myself and the reason of me being there, and then asked them to tell me the
date and day. At last I started explaining the game and playing with them.
The goal of the game was to practice speaking. I had to choose a letter and
then ask a personal question to a student where she had to give me an
answer of one word starts with the letter that Ive chosen. It was fun and only
took about 5 minutes. That was the first direct interaction with grade 6
students.

The letters that Ive

chosen.
