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: K2NS8: Recognize ‘more, less, same and not same in sets of 1-10 objects.
Describe
I chose this event because I had some problems before delivering the lesson that makes me letter nerves when I finished the active engagement. I started to send students to the centers, After that, I remember I did not explain activities for the students in the carpet, but it was a good point if I explain the activities at the carpet I know all student want to be in the art center, I learned new things from this lesson. Then I explained for my focus group the activities to make them busy. As result of that I wanted to walk around the class to check other students if they need help and ask them questions to assess them back to my group.
Analyze
I think this problem happen because I was thinking about Saif he did not respond to me in the whole focus even the whole lesson. Therefore, I give hem choice to do the center then to go free choice center. I ignore his behave then he try to respond me. Then my MST took with them.
Appraise
I learned from my event for next time I should manage myself.
How: For example, put a timer, praise other students and be more confidence while I am delivering the lesson.
Why: To deliver the lesson in a short time.
Transform
In my next teaching, 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 my time on the carpet.
