The document summarizes the experience of a teacher, Claudia Poey, conducting an English teaching practicum with 3-year-old children. She observed three initial classes to understand the children's habits and relationships. The children were shy at first but engaged when puppets and characters like Peppa Pig were introduced. The teacher reflected that wearing costumes related to lesson topics could make activities more interesting for young children. Overall, the practicum experience allowed the teacher to implement strategies from her coursework and share English with young students, despite initial anxiety about speaking only in English with the children.

CONCRETE EXPERIENCE
It was an interesting experience for me, even though I have worked with children and
teenagers for more than twenty years, the experience of working with children of three years
old was wonderful.
At the beginning, I attended three observation classes in order to get to know the group,
their tastes, their habits, their relationship with their peers and with the teachers, I also had
an interview with their teacher, all this helped me to plan my classes and resources and
strategies to use.
Although I work with different age groups , the experience of children of this age was
completely new, since they also took a class to get used to my presence.
At first they were shy and didn´t want to participate but after the first class they engaged
when I presented Peppa Pig and her friends , puppets, they remembered them every class and
interacted with them, Peppa Pig greeted them and they answered her. They were happy.
Teachers need to have a lot of patience to teach 3-year-old children because they are
extremely active and tend to lose concentration very easily.
REFLECTIVE OBSERVATION
If I have the opportunity to plan these classes again , I would consider to wear customes
When I presented them the animals I could wear a cat, fish or pig custome, I think that it
could be more interesting but it was very short the practice time and the class time, to
implement everything I thought when planning. I think that the implementation of the Natural
Approach proposed by Krashen S. children could incorporate the topics in a natural way, they
didn´t feel forced to repeat English words, animals and colours because they imitated what I
told them as the activities through which they have to choose the colours or imitate the
animals´s greetings.

2. ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALISATION
At first I felt really anxious and nervous the first class, so this did not allow me to enjoy the
first class, because I was very interested in what could happen.
The classes were meaningful because I had the opportunity to work and share with such
young students and to implement the theory, the methodology and the different strategies
seen and shared throughout the course.
ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION
I was anxious about to speak English all the time because in this Kindergarten students don´t
have English as a subject then everything was new but after the first class I realized that we
should speak English all the time in class because young students understand very well the
language.
