First Observation Reflection - Amber – 25th, October 2016 (Year, 3.1)
Select
My event is how to manage my time on the carpet.
When my MCT were observe me for the first time in (KG 2 – A) at “AL Awaeel Kindergarten”
Outcome: KES2: Describe characteristics of weather/ Identify characteristics of weather/ Illustrate characteristics of weather.
Describe
I chose this event because I had some problems while I was delivering the lesson, in Tuesday they had science at 11:15am in class. In addition, after break students had Islamic so they were sit on carpet for long time. When I started the lesson students were tired and they look like sleepy. Also, they don’t want to respond to me.
Analyze
I think this problem happen because in Islamic lesson students were set on the carpet around 25 minutes. And they did not have any activities. As result of that student felt bored and laziness.
Appraise
I learn from my event for next time I should make quake movement game activity. As result of that to refresh them. How: For example, stand up … sit down, Marching marching dance.. dance.. dance, clap, or any things you or the students want, know we stop … know we stop .. Ok, let’s sit down and fold your arms. Then start your lesson. Why: Transition movement games help teacher to manage students also to break the routine and refresh them.
Transform
In my next teaching, make sure to use different strategies for transition to break the routine and refresh them. If the students need to manage them. And pass the lesson successfully. make sure to ignore anything that annoying me, remind them the rules and praise other students to encourage misbehave students.
This is a math lesson "More and Less" which I taught at AL Awaeel Kindergarten for KG 2 students. The important thing that I learned from my mistake is how to manage with misbehave students
