An Experience to Remember


It all started in the practicum course when I had to attend a classroom for 40 sessions. I spent good times with grade 7 students of Al Tabari section, and I got the chance to know each one of them which created a positive relationship between us.
They were lovely and interactive; they interacted with me as if I was their teacher since the beginning of the year which made me burst into happiness! After attending 30 sessions, I taught for the first time of my life... It was a dream coming true. I spent the night before planning and preparing my material and the activities related to the lesson that was entitled "Frindle". On the next day, even though my hands were trembling I didn't care and I was so excited for my mission! I prepared the board and got the students seated and fully attentive, ready to be engaged in the new lesson, and that's where my journey began. I was astonished with the students' interaction; they were participating and willing to share their answers with me, and even if they got it wrong they were okay with it and raised their finger over and over .... They just wanted to participate, and that was my best reward!
After I finished explaining and made sure that everyone enjoyed the lesson, I was so happy that my first mission was accomplished! Then I got myself ready for the next lesson "Across the Wide Dark Sea" and decided to make it even better than the first one...
Having the opportunity to observe and teach these sweet students was the best thing that ever happened to me! It was worth it.. It was an experience to remember. <3
