Today was really different and stimulating, not that monday nor tuesday were any different. Today
was the first teaching demonstration. I take off my hat Ruben was great and brave, being the first is never easy, to break the ice, no way man!!!
I love the conference with John Sanchez,it was so creative and stimulating to be able to work hands on a given task.
The day was so full of activities that we needed an extra 8 hrs. to finish everything. Being able to work with, create,
share,and have fun with writing was fantastic. There are so many way of teaching and learning, outside of the traditional
box. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, mix with
inspiration,imagination,and the hope to accomplish something better.
The demo by Lorry was very interesting, Social Studies should be more than just learning about facts and persons. It’s about our concern on world issues, communities, injustice, politics,laws, nature, war, and so on. It was refreshing to see a different outlook on a subject that must be challenging, not boring to death I give it *** 3 star’s.
Some change is needed, but on the over all, good.
i actually have a colleague that would have really appreciated Lorraine’s demo…por lo q he oido de mis estudiantes, los cuales son SUS estudiantes, dicen q la clase es aburrida y monotona y siguen trayendo a colacion el maestro anterior. i would’ve really appreciated taking class with her!
Lorraine, your demo was good! It was interesting and engaging. It was a little bit long though. I think you should’ve just used more time in the activity and less in your introduction. I do understand that you are very proud of what you do and that is great. You seem to be a really good History teacher. You really know how to integrate writing in your class.
Today’ demo was interesting, Yolanda’s presentation on character development is very good. This is a different way to add detail to our writings. This can help students become aware when writing to give characters life,feeling and make them 3-D on paper. Really good!!!
La actividad de hoy estuvo bien interesante y creativa. Todos nos divertimos de alguna manera y demostramos que esta actividad tendra su resultado segun la audiencia a la que se la presentemos.EXITO Y ADELANTE

LeRoy’s writing demo was very interesting. It is a new way of getting students involved and stimulated in writing. There s so much you can do with vocabulary and grammar. Finally the writing process with the help of pictures, makes it easy for the students to keep a mental image constant, while writing. Most, if not all of our students are very visual. This method also helps in that writing, not only challenging, should be fun.
Ramon I see you understand the meaning of breaking the walls of a classroom. The atmosphere in a classrooms just as important, even more than the lesson. Making the experience as comfortable, but keeping and maintaining control of group and development a must if you want to succeed should be first in our minds. Very good work, Ramon!!!
Lydia’s presentation was really very good. The Story Book Weaver is a great tools that motivates writing that leads to stories. 4 stars****
Amiga no me extrano lo que demostraste. Ya yo estoy acostumbrada a esto de parte tuya eres lo que en tantas veces te he dicho una excelente profesional.
Impactaste a todos con tu tema.
Hoy desperte bien Boricua! Me levanto un gallo con su hermoso cantar a las 5 am, la toalla que use esta madrugada (toalla de playa) tenia una enorme bandera de Puerto Rico, a la salida encontre varios regalos de perros satos a la entrada de mi casa, sus regalos bien criollos me obligaron a cambiar loa zapatos y volver a usar la bandera toalla.
Me aproximo a la carretera #2 y los autos pasaban como aviones en una pista de muchos carriles inventados, en cada luz de trafico que me detuve veia una banderita Puertorriquena con algun coqui taino, o un surfista en forma de coqui sobre olas magicas del Caribe acompanada de varios “bumper stickers” con la tan apreciada bandera monoestrellada y lineas patrioticas como: “no te pegues mucho que no es bolero”. Mi viaje de Aguadilla a Mayaguez es un recorrido que insoira a escribir sobre la gran necesidad que tenemos los maestros de escritura aqui en PR …Porquen no hacemos un “bumper sticker del MayaWest?!
Good idea Alma, let’s make a sticker!!!
eso!
ejs.
power to the pen!
