I'm back!

Today  I started the second period practicum. Honestly I felt kind of nervous. I received the lesson plan on time, so I read it. First, I  have to mention that the activities in that lesson plan are nice. I prepared some material and I got ready to teach. The class started at 11:00 am. I arrived early (as always jejejeje). Some students were very early in the classroom waiting for the class to start. My tutor teacher arrived there and I started my class. The group is kind of large; they are around 28 students. I was afraid because it is difficult to work with large groups. I started my class with the warm up proposed in the lesson plan,. I was glad since the students were eager to participate; they liked the activity. My nervousness started to dwindle; I felt more comfortable in the classroom. I taught the grammar part and I got surprised because all of them understood quickly; it seemed as if they had a background knowledge about what I was teaching. We practice a little bit the use of the simple present tense to talk about daily routines; they participated a lot. I like this new group I have at this moment. I consider that I will have good times with them. I hope so.
