First Observation Reflection - Aneela - 16, March 2016

Name: Khawla – H00236669 - (Year, 2.2)

Select
My event is how to manage my time on the carpet. 

When my MCT were observed me for the first time in (KG 1 – D) at “AL Tomooh Kindergarten.”

Outcome: Explore pattern in a range of familiar environment.

Describe

 I chose this event because I had some problems while I was delivering the lesson when I finished the active engagement. I started to send the first group, which was my focus group to my table. Then I started to send the second group. After that, I remember I did not explain for students the activities.  Then I told second group students to back to carpet to explain for them the activities that were set up in each center. I thought my focus group does not need to know about other activities. Then I started to work with focus group and asked them some question that linked to math book to evaluate them. After that, I explained for them the activities to make them busy. As a result of that, I wanted to walk around the class to check other students if they need help and back to my group.

Analyze

I think this problem happen because I was thinking about the time. Therefore, I forgot to explain the activities for students as a result of that I felt little nerves and me afraid students waste my time.

Appraise

I learn from my event for next time I should manage myself.

 How: For example, put a timer, back all students on the carpet and be more confident while I am delivering the lesson.

Why: Maybe some student’s of the focus group will finish quickly then walk around the class, and they will make noise and interrupted other students.

Transform
In my next teaching, make sure to explain activities for whole students before sending them to the corners. Keep focus group to sit next to me to know what others corner going on.  Bring one example of each center to make sure all students are focusing on me.

Jorje story

In the first week, I had difficulty to manage student’s behavior. Also, Arabic teacher was absent because she had a sad story in her family. Also, I was a new teacher for them also students were missing Arabic teacher. And also, they asked me. Where is Miss Shaikha? Why does she not come? I answered she is tired, and she is missing you also she told me she wants you all to be a good listener. I try many hard to deal with them. In the first weekend thing a lot then I decided to bring Jorje and make them busy. Students like Jorje a lot that makes me happy to use these strategies to keep management and engage them.
