At the beginning of the year our teacher made us watch a video clip of One Republic, which is called “Love runs out”. I remember that time, our expectations about how the subject would be and that great moment in where we got astonish by listening that awesome song. That was why that song was the kind of songs that caused our hair stand one end, due to its meaningful lyric and the sense it gave to us.  Raquel played that one because it talked about the feelings you have when you are much closed to reach what you want, so we could feel very much identified.

Then, Raquel has been reinforcing these feelings during the year by teaching us a huge variety of useful activities and techniques that we could apply to our future pupils or, in my case, also to my daughter. In no more than three months we have learnt some nursery rhymes; jazz chants; jolly phonics; we have created beautiful reading maps; we also have learnt how to perform stories telling; how to design our future library classroom; how to get the most of an infant movie to teach some contents; we have known several great authors, etc. We had fun, not only in class but preparing the projects and I think we also had reflected carefully on our capability of being great teachers.

Lastly, in my opinion, thanks to this type of subject, we all are now prepared to face that sweet future that is waiting for us.  I don’t want to be the teacher’s pet but I will always take into account this subject as a reference in classrooms. I had the great opportunity to try the results of how everything worked at class but also at my home and the smiles they could provoke would be priceless.
