Last Day of Placement :'(

Friday, June 15 (Day 23)

Last day of placements. :'( It's so sad. Even though I haven't gotten ridiculously close with any class,  still feel sad that I am leaving. I decided to sit in the 6th year Naturales class again instead of going to completely new math classes. They had Chemistry and something like Biology but they just watched A Beautiful Mind. This class is hilarious. In the Chemistry class, the students were trying to talk to us but the teacher wouldn't let them. They were suppose to work on a worksheet but they were secretly moving so they could talk to us. Apparently, the teacher like never smiles but they caught her smiling in that class. It's so interesting how depending on the teacher is how the one group of students act. I guess that is the same in America but since the people in the classes change all the time its harder to tell unlike in Argentina. Anyways, students are just really funny. During the movie, the teacher left so one of the students says, "Stephanie, I'm boring." I told him he isn't boring, he's bored. LOL He really needs to work on his English. I think this class has been the most opening out of all that I have sat in but I have sat in their class a lot since Analia always had me sitting in her math class and she only taught the 6th years Naturales. I also think it is because the people loved the peson I kept observing with but whatever. I still had a good time observing in classroom. I learned so much! I'm going to really miss sitting in these class, trying to understand what is being taught, and trying to understand the broken English that all the students are using.

After the last placement I went to go help my professor find out what is wrong with the projector that the group two years ago bought them. There was nothing wrong with it. We spent most of the time trying to get on the internet. They told us that the screen was so small but I think they had the projector to close to the wall. So in reality I didn't need to be there to help them out. I have no idea how I become the most tech-savvy person on the trip. I guess its because I know how to use a Mac with an external monitor/projector. I helped the professor with the movie we saw at her house. LOL Everyone at home would say I am not tech-savvy. I just google things I want to find out. Oh well. It made me feel really important. :)

I came back to the hotel for a very short nap since I had to be back at San Martin for a presentation on Special Education and the new curriculum. This will be it's own blog post since there was so much information that I learned.

After the presentation we took taxis to my professors house for some spaghetti with home-made sauce! Yum! We also finished up the movie Motorcycle Diaries. Well finished as much as we could since the DVD had a scratch. So basically I need to watch the rest of the movie when I get home.
