Hello everyone,

Today I am writing to tell you about an amazing experience that I had last Tuesday! I went to a class in an Elementary School for reading books and having good times with little students! Before I went there, I was a little scare with the idea of handle many children at the same time. However, they were very cheerful and friendly, and I could feel like a kid again! In addition, before we came, they got ready everything to us.... like cookies, plays, places that we could read books for them, etc.
By making a contrast with my times of Elementary School, I could see that the way they teach children have improved a lot. Nowadays, the little students have 3-4 teachers taking care of them ( my time only a teacher for 20 students); there have students from many countries, such as China, Chile, and here which helps the students to live better with differences between cultures; they know how to write ( I have just learned when I was 7)....
In the future, I wish more students at IECP could have this experience too... Some tips that I could give is: If possible, they would have more time with them; they should practice some plays before; maybe they could learn a song or dance in group and during the visitation, they can teach the kids.

Thank you guys,
Have a nice weekend !
