First Week / Second Part of TP

During this week I taught only two days because on Sunday both my class teachers were absent , in Wednesday it was a trip to Al Ain palace and Thursday is a holiday.

For the two days , I tried to start implementing creative activates in the classroom.

The first lesson was numeracy (differences and similarities)

for the whole group I used different shapes , colors and children photos. Using these materials I asked the students to select the different shape or photo between 3 or 4 other things.

for the small activity time , the students choose 3 same pictures of fruits and 1 different then they stick it , color it and made a bracelet from it.

Evaluation :

During the whole group, using children pictures is useful because it helps to grasp their attentions. Also asking the students to come out to the board to answer and choose who is siting nicely.

The tidy up time improved , using the crown works very well with the students and motivate them to clean and sit fast.

However, Some children faced problem with word different and similar because it was new for them.  However using drilling and repeating was useful because  these words where important for the small activity groups which worked very well and the children enjoy doing it.

I need more interesting activities during the whole such as stories , songs ( I could use the smart board) and let students interact with it. Also I need new strategy to make students lesson to me when they lose the attention such as clapping. 

I need to make the activity more challenging for some students ( differentiate the activity), because some of them get the idea easily and did it quickly while the others not.

 

The second lesson ( Literacy , /o/ sound)

The lesson went well,

The small activity was creating octopus using different materials. Students loved the activity and they were motivated to make their own octopus.
