After a while we also included researching activities like investigating about animals or specific topics such as insects, mermaids and unicorns. It was fulfilling for me to find out that empathy and respect for the children interests are an open window to motivate learning.
After three months reading became a habit for her, she improved her reading skills, stopped confusing letters and wasn't afraid of speaking publicly any more.
I study education because I strongly believe children deserve to get different tools to learn, because each child learns differently. I never give up on children, I am patient, consistent and creative, I and most important I am always respectful about their feelings, if something doesn't work we can always look for another method that is more suitable form them.

I am also a good basketball and volleyball player. I like to take bike rides with the children or to play hide and seek in the park as well. Since I was a little girl, I used to dance and participate in the artistic shows in my province because the Amazon is very festive. This is why I have always liked to dance and create choreographies to make little performances for friends and family.
I am very talented for handicrafts made with paper, construction paper and other materials.
As I study education, I am able to help children with their homework and other academic activities.
Please describe your hobbies
In the afternoons my neighbours organize basketball games and at night I watch movies with my brother. Every Saturday I have rehearsals with my dance group, we dance Amazonia traditional music. I also have English classes every Saturday.
In the Amazon there are beautiful places like waterfalls, caves, rivers and rainforests, this is why my co-workers and I organize small trips to these amazing places twice a month. I consider myself an adventurous and fearless person.
