Topic: The animals (horse, dog, chicken, cat, parrot, fish, turtle, rabbit.)

In this lesson about the animals, we want to mention one technique and one activity that called our attention during the class. First of all, the technique about  wearing a costume while teaching, helped students in the sense that  they  got more interested to the class; and that was something good, because we could see that students were paying attention to what the teacher (wearing the custom) was doing and they performed the tasks they were asked to do, very well. 

Moreover, during the activity about matching the fruits with the correct number, Hector did it  very good as well as the rest of the students. What we could notice and really made us happy was that Hector was being part of the activity which was our objective when creating it, to include all students, because in the activities performed during some of the previous classes Hector was hardly always distracted. 

It is, also, important to mention that by paying attention to Hector performance, we realized that children did not feel comfortable sitting in the desks and that is the reason why our group decided to sit the Ss on the floor, which we think was a success because not only Hector, but all children were more relaxed, therefore; more willing to participate in class. Finally, and  probably one of the big success we have had in all classes, is the fact that Hector had learned something.  We could notice that, by the time Konny was asking for the color of an animal , he said the correct answer and was willing to participate in all the activities, so we realized that , unconsciously, Hector was learing a lot.
