Mole's revolution!!!!

Today we went to the community college in Bentonville. There, we played some “games” in order to learn how work in team groups, and how can we get our students to do it as well. It is important to notice that at the beginning the students have to get in contact gradually, so they can be more comfortable with each other. The “gotcha finger” game can be a good start, then the “fox and the squirrel” game is also nice for the students to have some information about each other. 

I had fun, especially when we saw something moving under the ground and the teacher told us that it was a mole, then, when some friends were digging the little rat appears and I caught it. The animal really loved its freedom, it was fighting really hard while I was grabbing it; eventually a got two little bites. I thought moles were peaceful and tame animals, something like a rabbit, but now I know they are just the opposite when it is about freedom. I would the same actually. 

During the afternoon, Rochelle told us a little about Arkansas to be ready when we go to Little Rock on Friday (I think so). After that attended to Cindy’s session, which was about reflexive teaching. She showed us how we can observe a class and organize all what we observe. It is important to notice that observing is not judging the others work, but being objective about the facts that we are observing and not the things we think about those. I would like to learn more about it.

So that was simply another day in my life; if a day in life can be called simple.
