week 7 TP

I had a very busy tiring day I couldn’t have a single break and right know felling very terrible and completely stressed out specially while writing this journal in the same class.

I had to do most of my MSTs assistant work today the one that I want to mentions that I helped in the fruits kebabs parents get to gather in preparing the tables cutting the fruits and setting up the plates while my MST went to the PE class but once I was done I helped yahia to wear his swimming suit who was punished for miss behaving in the class room so I took hem to PE ,furthermore while going to the PE miss Kirsten talk to me that miss Raj don’t know where I am and she needs me there, at that moment I was stun hello she saw me helping out in the preparation for the event and eventually  she could asked me at that time to follow her . This attitude really bothers me and it is unacceptable from the first day I told her explicitly that she share anything with and communicate directly without hesitating.  Sometime guise  I really cant understands her no mater how hard I try to work with her
!!!HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!! (!-!)

I did implement another session of the RW inc my MST really liked it a lot but I was really sweating while the session cause I MR Sean was there and I had to pretend that he is disappeared.  
Furthermore, I tried out my story activities were the children really liked it a lot they were saying miss Khadija I want to play it one more time, even some of them came with their parents to ask me about the activity if they can show it to their mum and dad. Moreover, I told the children to line up and wash their hands before the snack time but one of the girls refuses to wash her hands so I played a trick with her I told her that if you won’t wash your hands the germs will go in you tummy and then it will heart you a lot so then you might need to go to the doctor and she will give you an injection afterwards she looked completely freaked out so strait away she went to wash her hand. Further more, while the WUSU I saw a boy called Hassan who was upset banging his hands  on wall so I went and asked hem wants bothering him he told me that Miss Raj doesn’t listen to him she screams at him. therefore I asked him have you done anything that made her upset he said no. so I cheered him up and encouraged him to participate in the WUSU later he came to me and said miss Khadija I don’t loke miss Raj I like you a lot because you listen to me and treat me well . Even I talked to his mum and she did mentioned that he always complain that his teacher scream him and don’t give him chance to explain the reason of his behavior. I really felt bad for him cause some time he get involved in others children problems and the teacher leaves the guilty once and start to punish them.

Teacher should try to change hyper active children’s behavior form example in Hassan case I have tried to involve him to help me in some of my duties which I think this is one of the good distraction techniques to make these kind of children to reduce their negative behavior and give them some sense of responsibility in the class room were we create balanced environment that make  children to communicate freely and share their problems experience without any fear but in a limited conditions and rules. By this they will value and appreciate the time were they understand the difference needs  that there is specific times for play and learn in any environment.

story telling



This day I was quite nervous because I had to real my story and implement my first ever RW Inc session. However at the end of the day I achieved good success which made it worth to experience. 



First thing first I took children attendance then I told them to lineup for the Wake up Shake up period also  first time I implemented the RW inc session honestly it was exciting because this experience make me realize how teacher put on a huge effort to try as much as possible to teach and send the right information to each child while my session I kept thinking carefully about each single thing that I did because this programmed has been designed in a special way so I had to follow the rules step by step. Moreover, I did offered my help to my MST while cutting some children activities later on I help them in decorating one of their displays.






 To day the first time ever I have seen my MST encouraging the children after they finish their snakes to inter the reading corned and try to read one of their favorite story book this attitude gave me the chance to take some pictures of the children while they are pretending to read therefore in the morning I have mentioned that if I can take some pictures while children are reading the book so later on I can decorate the reading corner to encourage other children to inter and read books and the good thing she gave me the approval.





At the end of the day I one of the Kareem introduced me to this mother and all this happened because he got so excited after the story telling time he kept talking to his mother about it which made me really glad. Therefore I had the chance to talk with his mother and she kept asking me if their any way to teach him at home how to blend Arabic letters so I gave her some suggestions and she seemed to be satisfied hope it will work without with Kareem.  Also By this I achieved one of the competencies. Also I did lots of praising while reading the story and the RW inc session were I observes each childe writing the letter N and then I made a star and a happy face on their worksheet. This attitude encourages some shy children to participate and break the wall of fear in the classroom and pay attention and this was success full. I like to menssion ms MST teqniqe to make the children calm down at the end of the day she asked them to liedowd fow few minutes, if I were her I would tell them to pretent to be the sleepy bunnies and liedown to sleep in their comfy cave which will make it fun .




While reading the story I made sure ask children as a group to work out, think, and help out the character to solve the riddle by this I developed their social emotional and numeracy skills. Moreover, while implementing the RW inc Session I tried to spread my knowledge and transfer properly the information among all of the students therefore I  help the shy and low standard abilities children to participate and  encouraged them expose their self  by asking their rest of their classmates to repeat after the child and Mr. fried the puppet and I rited to write the letter in the air whit the child , however my MST told me that I shouldn’t done this because its not proper to expose their disabilities in front of the other children. In my point of view I cant understand why not encouraging them to help each other I disagree her because as a teacher I should believe in each child ability and make them believe in their self steam that they can do it as anybody ales, to add on this  it is my responsibility to encourage these children to build their confidence and give them a chance to speak out and express here selves which will make them feel that they are valued and the teacher respects their point of view. Honestly teacher should teach and treat each childe equally and make sure to develop their one to one correspondence where I listen to the child and he responds oppositely. Other whys I don’t deserve to be a good role model or call my self a teacher.








There is one thing that really bothered in terms of the teachers’ attitude. Which is they don’t encourage children to take initiative and get indulge with helping out of making their own work of displays  while I was helping out the MST in organizing the display and the children work one of the girls called Noun came out and offered her several times but the teacher kept refusing and believe me the work was only passing the string in to the hole which can develop their fine motor skills by this attitude the teacher could encourage other children to work independently rather than relying on their made which unfortunately  happening in my situation. As a role of the teacher it is very important to build up their self steam and show that their effort and work is appreciated and valued were the child feels the senses of ownership in the class room. So Insha allah when I am going to implement my story activities I make sure to give each child the chance of getting involve in making out the interactive display. By this I want to show my MST that as a teacher it is our responsibility to improve each child self steam and make them completely independence so later on they will represent me and my learning through their attitude and behavior which in it self is a great achievement.
