Being with twenty 5 years-old was a really enriching experience. For my first lesson, I brought them a puppet show. It was about a cricket who had lost his guitar and couldn't chirp anymore. I made the puppets from EVA and printend material founded on internet Presentation at Woodville In the second lesson, children were able to work on different activities related to the same thematic unit: bugs. I divided them into groups. Ongoing finger bug project Counting body parts: using numbers and vocabulary For lesson three, children went on a bug hunt. I hid papper bugs all over the hall, a big room where kids can run around, and they had to look for it, using a table sheet with picture of different bugs and numbers.

About me

Hello!  Welcome to my journey! A journey through learning. My name is Renata, I'm 37 years old and I'm from Brazil. I've been living in Bariloche, Argentina since 2012. Before moving to Patagonia, I lived in Washington, DC for two and a half years and in Curitiba, Brazil. Teaching happened in my life just a few years ago. I have a degree in Journalism and worked in the field for about 7 years until I moved to the US. Being a Journalist has helped me with the most challenging job I've ever dreamt of: the teaching job.  I've started teaching Portuguese in 2014 with no experience whatsoever. Two years later, I decided I wanted to follow this path and enrolled in "Profesorado de Inglés online" at Lenguas Vivas Bariloche. My passion for the English language and my enthusiasm for teaching are my tools to move forward. I'm currently teaching Portuguese in two public school and Portuguese and English in a private Language School.

Five years from now, I expect to be working full time as an English teacher. Some of my goals are: Inspire: I want to inspire and encourage my students to learn more and more and to be and do whatever they feel happy about. I expect that my passion for the English language and for teaching might help them find their passion, whatever it is. Learn: as a teacher, I learn something new every day. Teaching requires us to step out of ourselves and through this we learn about ourselves as teachers and as persons. Change: I want to be able to touch students in a way that can change then for the better.  I believe my main strengths as a teacher are the will to learn always more, the patience, the knowledge to understand that each student is unique and has his or her own pace.
