Extremely Busy Day

Hi everyone I had extremely busy day of the TP because there was lots of things that I had to take care of with my MST and the rest of the staff. Therefore I couldn’t even have a break for lunch.



I had a good performance today basically first thing first I showed and explained my plan to my MST, then I did organize all the activities after the input session which was about the sound, honestly children this time were focused and they all loved the magical bottles sound that I tested in front of them by blowing in each bottles.  According to my MST s feedback she told me in terms of the management there is a huge improvement which really made me glad.
Moreover, I did reading with 6 children who are mixed abilities, during one to one reading session I realized how much effort it could take to teach each child reading. furthermore,

I did praised children’s good behaviors for being good listener and preforming as my instructions befor implementing the activities with me see below
This is the sound lotto game were children listen to different animals sound quickly and make circles when they finished they need to write simple sentence 

praising children positive work and valuing their effort
Making sound mobiles with see shells
later on the teachers asked the children to hang it in their class room
Also I did participated in the show and tell session were children have the chance to bring an object from the home and speak it in front of their class room friend, while others have the chance to ask questions related to that object.

This is one of my physical related activity which called sound walk children in this particular activity should walk around the school and find human sound and the environment and then they need to draw and write some simple sentence see example above. 


 
Regarding the TP competencies,  finally I managed to build a good relationship with my MST and the parents. Moreover, this time I succeeded in controlling children’s negative behavior on the carpet. However still I think I need to focus on rotating the activities in the class room, so my next week target is to improve the quality of the rotation, my MST  told me that she is unorganized person and I am well organized and well-structured person and she want to gain some of my quality therefore she agreed to worked with me in a team teaching which I think I can learn so much interesting things from her.
furrthermore, I worked extremely hard on my Communication skills such as interacting professionally and effectively with teachers and parents, using appropriate body language, eye contact, gestures and voice to maintain an effective classroom presence.


Teacher should act and behave professionally and the most important thing is to give other people chance to listen others point of view and think about how to make changes in their life, no mater how perfect they pretend to be. As a matter of fact we all are different and I strongly believe that each one is especial and have unique quality ,the best thing is to work collaboratively to achieve the best and influence other were we inspire them to learn help in the process of the community.  so best of luck to all of you girl and try to work and enjoy every moment of the final TP. Remember keep smiling no mater how desperate you are and keep thinking positively good luck(>-~)

what a perfect day (^-^)

Hi girls What a day I had very interesting day with lots of fun and excitement. I think being appreciated from your MST and other teacher makes anyone feels good that whys I am happy.



I started my day with explaining the plane for my MST explicitly and preparing and organizing my activities.
Also I showed initiative to help my MST to teach one to one session of literacy and numeracy, therefore I took the child outside and I asked her how many litters you can see, try to sound each letter and then blend it there was times she fed up but I kept encouraging her by good job, I think you can read it. Also with this child it was difficult to teach numeracy may be because she spent long time reading letters.
Also I did the input session which was really cool children looked focused , this time I sat where I can keep my eyes on the clock so I finish in 10 minutes. I prepared the activities ahead on the tables and I explained it for the children explicitly how to carry on each activities. The best part was making the goat with junks as you can see in the picture below, during the activates I timed myself so I kept going back and watching the clock during the rotation time and guess what! Finally I succeed.

welcome to the Room On the Broom PJ party

I felt so stressed because of the busy hectic day that I experienced, however it was worthwhile so next time I can work on my weakness and improve my strategies in management.  As Mr Sean said it all part of learning plan does review, so I believe that making mistakes know it better so I can seriously reflect and improve myself.





I preformed most of  my duties as a teacher for example my first concern was to show and explain explicitly my plane with my MST and then before setting up the activities I explained and demonstrated each activities for the children.  
Also I did mind maps with the children that is related to the Room On The Broom story creatures  as you can see in this pictures

Moreover , I did implemented some rhythm sound matching and numbers

And creating popup Room on the broom Pajamas party
information card

Furthermore, I did the reading review activities where the children draw and write about their favourite characters of Joulis donelsons Room On the Broom, also I helped  with the organization of the P.J party and I contributed in reading review day by translating English stories children and parent in Arabic. which was wonderful and a success, while that I recognize that although I am talking in Arabic children were interacting and translating some numbers and actions in English which was amazing.

 because of that I intervene the opportunity to communicated and interacted with the parent formally.
At the end my MST took granted of my effort therefore she shared the book that I made for the classroom in front of the children and the parents, honestly their expression was WOaOW they seems really interested and fascinated from my effort. 

Watching my MST implementing phonics lesson made me curious therefore next week insha allah I am going to implement one to one session with group of children , therefore I will do my best to teach and learn in the same time so best of to me (^-^)



I strongly feel that I need to work on my organization while rotating the activities with the children ,  also I need to improve my strategies where I can control children’s hyper active behavior therefore I am going to set a visual rules for the circle time, moreover integrating some brain GYM activities could be beneficial, so girls if you have any useful ideas that you tried it previously with active classroom children please share it with me I really will be grateful.(0-!)


Including the UK EYFS in our school routine can be really beneficial, because once you start integrating them you can sense the differences such as being capable of dealing with different levels and standers of children, and as a teacher we start to take each child developing  learning progress seriously which helps building good human. 


I strongly believe that any teacher should be capable of monitoring and controlling a range of thing at a time, therefor teacher must building her abilities of management and organization so thing will move smoothly.
Moreover, teacher should be flexible and open minded where she can adapt new interesting motivating ideas, as a  I think we always need a piece of mind and a inspiring moment which helps us to develop ourselves not only as a human but as a teacher. And honestly I can see these things in my MST which really inspire me.
