The last day in the first week (3rd/ 10)

Today was the last day in the first week and I did literacy lesson with creative activity. The preparation of the lesson was good and the students were more interesting and more active to the lesson than the last lesson. Every time before I start the lesson I revise with the children our classroom rules and I tried today to let them say the rules in English and some of them did. I was so happy and my teacher told me that I'm going on the write truck of teaching the children. In this lesson my activity was different than any activity that the children done before. The students enjoyed doing the activity and my MST like it maybe because they are using lots of worksheets activity and the activity that I did with them today was unusual for them. At the end when the children went their houses I arranged the classroom with my MST and we tried to make it wider so the children will have space to move. I had printed some labels for the resources that they have so they can see some words in Arabic and in English. Moreover, I had organized the stories and classify them on the reading area. The final thing that I did was sticking the children work that they did with me on the displays to let them see their work. When I finished I was exhausted however, I felt that it's really my classroom and I was happy to make it better and nice for the kids.   

                                               This is the model that I did for the children

This is the activity that I did with the children however I prepared everything and they just stick everything together. Also what I did to make the activity more enjoyable is I used white paper instead of color paper so they was busy coloring it first then they stick everything. 

4th day in teaching practic (2nd /10)

In this day I did a numeracy lesson and I started with contextualizing the information from the children by asking them some questions about the shape of the week if they can remember it. I used some pictures and show them the difference between the square and the rectangle. I did an activity that each one of my group will a paper that has different shapes and they have to identify the square and color it. Moreover, they are in the beginning of the year and lots of changes happening in the school so both teachers didn’t classify the students in different groups according to their stage so it was hard to differentiate the activity for the whole group however I did it with each child. To be more specific, during the last three days that I was in the school I figure out each child level and interest so I know each one of them should be in which group. Another thing that I like to mention it that my MST liked the lesson and activity and she saw how the students were listening and responding.  

3rd day in teaching practice (Monday 1/10)

At the beginning of the day today I sit with my both MST and we had disused what we will do next week and we set up together the lesson plan however each one of us has different thing to do and prepare to her lesson. After that I went to set up my activities for my lesson which was about the /s/ sound and I introduced some words that start with this letter. I showed the students some pictures that started with our letter and I asked them some questions during the whole then I asked them to move to the centers to do some activity. At the end of the lesson I asked some of the students to show us their work and say what they did. During that time I recognized how mastered the outcome for literacy and how need supports. At that time each teacher could assess their children if they achieve the learning object or not. Moreover, I had to translate some words and the activities also because as I saw some of the student didn’t get it in English however the lesson was good and my teacher gave me a good feedback about it. Tomorrow I will teach numeracy lesson and I wonder how it will be because it will be the final class and as I noticed in the last two days that they become hyper or sleepy at the end of the day so wish me luck.
