What I know how to write

Abstract

The text deals with an account of the experience of a primary school teacher in a public school in the city of Buenos Aires. It takes place in a first grade classroom in the context of the return to face-to-face teaching, after a year of virtual work due to the preventive and compulsory isolation caused by the pandemic. The teacher narrates a scene that is to be expected within the literacy proposals that take place in this grade, but with the particularity of an unexpected response from a pupil. In the story, various issues are brought to light that are relevant to literacy work: the exchange between teacher and pupil, the provision of a literate culture and writing as a tool for communication. At the same time, this story encourages the reader to think about what elements are offered in the school that enable the affective bond between those who live there.
