Hi girls to day I had been though a very exciting day with the children while implementing the activities that develops children writing skills were most of them wanted to play. I think that I achieved today’s aim which makes me feel like I am flying in the sky.
The activities that I implemented will develop children hands and finger movement control while forming the letters, also it will develop their interacting skills and taking turns because they had to share the mirror as well as the social skills were they have to help each other while activities. Moreover, while the story time I encouraged them to interact with me by forming action and using their body moving effectively to develop their physical skills. Furthermore, it will develop their aspect of knowledge and understanding of the words while mixing the 2 color and producing new color.
I have done most of the duties that the teacher does on a regular teaching day , which was taking children attendance, reminding them the classroom rules , taking part with the children in the WUSU session, and the most important explaining explicitly today’s and the next week task to my MST and the AT.
Also while the swimming class some children was annoying my AT and poor she seems to be in trouble always keep insisting on the Arabic children to speak with her in English, so I had to teach her some Arabic terminology that will defiantly work with her every time that they annoys her, you won’t belie this once they saw me helping her that they told don’t tell her but my AT seems dispirit for help because these children always treat her badly. Moreover, I had to remind them about our maters as well as teaching them showing respect to our elder without arguing. After this miss Gaynor thanked me and asked me every time I teach her some Arabic words. After the story she introduced some position name by drawing bridge on the board and ask them to work with their friends to form as quick as they can the symbols of standing beside someone or over, under the bridge. I enjoyed participating with my At in this activity because by encouraging them to work co-operatively with their friends forming the position and converting it in to action this will help and clarify for some bilingual children who doesn’t differentiate between the positions, got confused to understand or mixed up the concept and use the proper word in conducting it in their real life.
While the story time I really wanted to read (We Are Going To A Bear Hunt) but the teacher read it therefore I stood beside my MST forming the entire story seen Actions by moving though interacting with my h and you won’t believe that my TA keep staring at me and smiling. It was really amazing because children were standing and interacting with my actions they seem enjoying and having fun, at the end my MST appreciated my effort and asked the children to say thank you, also they keep asking me to do it one more time.
Moreover, as I mentioned previously I have implemented some activates that develop children writing skills, so the first all I remind them all the phonetic letters then I explained each activities by showing them a visual examination. My first activity called the breathing mirror letters were children blow air from their mouth on the mirror then form the letters that I told them. Also the second activity called forming the letters on the sand tray.
Moreover, another activity called the finger painting on the mirror were 2 children should use their finger in mixing 2color then they have to form the letter properly but in the same time they have to do it quickly and who go the highest point will get a stamp. While implementing these activities children were during ne crazy because all of them wanted to have a chance and they kept asking me when is my turn unfortunately It was the end of the day Thus I promised that next time I will give them that chance to play theses activities. Miss Gaynor my At seems to be very interested in my activities and she always show interest in my work. To be frank Mr Sean I strongly feel that my At shows more interest in me than my MST and motivate me every time, finally I want to mention that implemented my E-book with 2 children and observed their ICT skills, honestly I felt that I needed to do some changes in my e book in order of the sound system as well as choosing the background color and inserting some interesting animations.
The activities that I implemented will develop children hands and finger movement control while forming the letters, also it will develop their interacting skills and taking turns because they had to share the mirror as well as the social skills were they have to help each other while activities. Moreover, while the story time I encouraged them to interact with me by forming action and using their body moving effectively to develop their physical skills. Furthermore, it will develop their aspect of knowledge and understanding of the words while mixing the 2 color and producing new color.
Last time if you remember when my MST observed me while the RWI session she told me that I should not pick some children and ask them to form and repeat after me writing letter. But this time she did the same thing this time with several children. As a important role of teacher it is to except other peoples point of view ant try to adapt new interesting teaching techniques because it all seeks toward developing children learning progress. It is not about who will show off and who is the best teacher although I am new in their environment and I have new thing that I can share my MST should understand and give me the chance to conduct and implement new thing to make changes because frankly life is all about making beneficial useful changes and accepting the reality, no one is perfect but there are some paths that can make our children word better to deal with otherwise we wont seek any success in educational programs.
