My first math teacher was very happy, he liked to do his dynamic classes with lots
of games and he also left many assignments. He liked to drink coffee in the
morning before starting his classes, if we didn't, he didn't have the energy to start
classes. He liked to share his snack with his students at recess and take care of
them in the park.

leaving group activities since the number of students increased in the institution
because it was very good and everyone wanted to study in it.

WEEKS 4-6Project
write about an important person from your past you no longer see. What you remember
about him/her? (120 words)

My grandfather was called Carlos Rivero Díaz, he was a social teacher, he really
liked roosters and motorcycles.

He had the patio of the house full of roosters, every afternoon he liked to go out on
his motorcycle to Turbaco to see more roosters. When I returned from the street,
he would bring me many sweets and help me with social tasks. As the years
passed, he became ill and had to get used to being at home.

My grandfather liked to play and talk a lot with his grandchildren, he also scolded
us every time we did bad things and we did not obey him. But still I will always
remember it.
