first days of TP

My first days at Al Twaya kindergarten were really interesting and a little bit hard but I know that I need time to adjust in the new environment. I did some activities related to the theme (my family)  such as making family member using finger print, making a chart during a numeracy lesson and sorting family members.



 

That was fun and increased my motivation by feeling more willing to come to class and teach. Moreover, it helped me to know more about my MST and the children. My MST is really supportive she kept giving me useful instructions and advises. The class is very active and there are a lot of independent learning activities and I liked that a lot. However, the negative thing is that there was no clear rules or routine for the children to follow. I think that lead to  chaos in the classroom and that in my opinion affected the children’s learning.  

Tomorrow I will teach a lesson about (rooms in my house) I hope everything will go well. Wish you all the best in your lessons =)

  1. Hello Marwa,
    Actually I liked what you have done with the children in this lesson it is not boring and it is meaningful for them in this age.

    Ohh, I think we are going to teach the same theme tomorrow because I will introduce (home) for the children in the literacy lesson.

    Wish you the best with your lesson tomorrow =)

  2. I think Marwa you have to use some basic rules that we had used it in our experiences before because as you know it will help you to control them. Think about it and let your teacher know that you are thinking of some rules to manage their behavior and to be as a routine that they have to get used with. Wish you all the best in your lesson tomorrow and make sure to impress your MST.

  3. Yes, Fatima's right - if there are not routines in place, then you will need to introduce them as a part of your teaching. I like your pictures, too. Try to describe, analyse and evaluate particular lessons using the reflective cycle. This will help you consider your lesson in depth and write with clarity
