Personal Narrative Essay: My Field Trip To School

Since last Monday, the students had a field trip that the girls and I were allowed to go on; today was our first Monday at the school. It was nice to see that as the students made their way to their classroom, they were all very excited to see that the Americans were still there. The start to the morning was wonderful because I had many students come up to hug me, I also had several of my students ask me questions regarding a homework assignment that they had due later in the day. As all of the students got settled in the classroom, the teacher took attendance and then had all of the students line up to go to the multipurpose room. I was wondering why all of the students were headed to the same placed. It was then that Mrs. Alba told me that …show more content…
As they were reciting the pledge, I thought about how the majority of the American schools recite the pledge everyday and have daily announcements. This is very different from what I am use to seeing in the American school system. It seemed like their pledge was very long, but it was nice to see that they had students playing music to it so it make it seem like it was a song.

I found myself staying inside during first recess because there were two boys who wanted my help in finishing up their poem. They were the two boys in the class who were very shy, so I liked that I got to spend sometime to help them out. They liked this too because during this time they took a liking to me. They started asking more questions and smiling at me more. After spending time with them during recess, they began asking me more questions throughout the day. Today, just like every other day, I got to help the Spanish teacher during Spanish time. She always haves me work with a group, so today the students were working on their vocabulary for the week. I noticed that the words for the week were really hard for me because I had no clue what any of them meant. I felt as though I was no help during this time because I had no idea how to even pronounce some of the words. The teacher had every group grab a dictionary and their job was to find the words and tell her the definition and write it down on their paper. The students would be quizzed on vocabulary on Friday.
