My First Class

Today was a very exciting day for me at class. My first impression of the class was that I thought it was going to be a hard and stressing course, but after we started working in groups I did not see any difficulty about the course.

-

I think that working in groups is the best thing that can be done because besides we learn and gain new information, we also learn about our environment and other people in our same environment, we must learn about our multicultural school and get to know each other. Finding our soul mate was really interesting and fun.

-

Then when we moved into the Name Game, things got more interesting. At first, a lot of my classmates and I thought that it was going to be difficult to remember all the names of the classmates, but the strategy that was used by the teacher Dr Boyanton was really accurate because in her strategy she included repetition, fun, rhyme game, and a sequence of telling names.

This activity was really helpful because we got to know each other and to break the ice among everybody in the class. We are now living in a harmonic environment and I hope this respect and harmony will stay in this classroom until the end.
