Lesson Theme	Weather	Student teacher	Mariam Obaid
School : Al Sho'aa KG School
Class	KG2 D	Date	November 10th, 2015
Overall aim and context of the lesson:   This is the first lesson in science topic. Focusing on the student's behavioral and deliver the lesson properly with time management and clean up the classroom in proper time.

Choose ONE aspect from the lesson to evaluate and discuss (one paragraph each) according to following:

Firstly, SELECT one aspect that YOU feel either you did very well or were unhappy with.

This is my last lesson, and I did a sciences lesson about weather it was really good and I had a lot of stuff to show them to my students. They loved all my stuff but I didn't realize that I took 30 minutes on the carpet and in my lesson plan I wrote 15 minutes on the carpet. Also I didn't do one weather I did many types of weather.

DESCRIBE the situation, participants and events in detail

I made crowns for all the children with (sun, snowflake, cloud, wind, and rain). They were so beautiful when they wear them and Miss Sharon was in my class to observe me. My lesson was very good with fun stuff and activities I enjoyed myself with all the children that I forgot the time. Even I was rushing doing my lesson because I'm still sick and I want to go home quickly.

Secondly, ANALYSE WHY AND HOW, this event happened in the way it did. 

I felt sick again and I had headache maybe because of that I didn't realize the time and all of them were looking at me. I explained the activities for the children and I took one group for my focused. After five minutes I went around the centers to see what the children did or if they want any help and I noticed the children like the art center more than other centers. In the art center, the children can draw the weather they love like: they can draw the sun or cloud anything they want then color it and throw some shiny powder on it.

Then, APPRAISE the situation.  What effect did the event have on you/your feelings?  How did it effect students’ learning? 

It was time to clean up and I put for them clean up song and told them “ clean up song is playing now so you need to finish clean up and sit on the carpet when the song is finished” and they did. I told them to sit on the carpet to asked them what they did and learn in their centers and they answered me and I show them some of their works especially when I asked Dheyab about his art and what he draw on the plate he said “this is Mansour’s face” he was so funny and all of them were laughing at him.

Finally, TRANSFORM, the situation by writing how you would improve the situation in a future lesson.

I need to work on the time management for me and practice with them every day not just for teaching them a lesson but also practice more for the song and movement. However, their behavior were good but I need to word again and again for their behavior.

Literacy Lesson / When I Grow Up

AAWC Lesson Reflection

Lesson Theme	Literacy / When I Grow Up	Student teacher	Mariam Obaid
School : Al Sho'aa KG School
Class	KG2 D	Date	November 5th, 2015
Overall aim and context of the lesson: Focusing on the student's behavioral and deliver the lesson properly with time management and clean up the classroom in proper time. This is the first lesson in literacy topic.

Choose ONE aspect from the lesson to evaluate and discuss (one paragraph each) according to following:

Firstly, SELECT one aspect that YOU feel either you did very well or were unhappy with.

I'm so happy for with this lesson and I wish Miss Sharon was here to see me doing this lesson and I did a wonderful activities that I know every child what he/she likes. I don't know where can I start talking about my lesson because from beginning until end very perfect.  

DESCRIBE the situation, participants and events in detail

This day I did a role play and I made myself like journalist and I used mike to ask them also I put pictures for jobs like: doctor, dentist, actor, army man, policeman, and teacher. And I asked all the children what they want to be when they grow up? When all of them choose a job I took them to stand up behind the pictures to make a graph and I count how many child want each job. It was so fun and the children loved it.

Secondly, ANALYSE WHY AND HOW, this event happened in the way it did. 

I had a yellow board and I wrote when I grow up I want to be… then I asked few children to stand up into the board holing a white paper with job and I asked Nouf to take a photo. The theme about community helpers and I notes that a lot of children wear different kind of job's uniform and I know what each child love. I bring a lot of stuff like: things that policeman use it, stuff that doctors use it, stuff for people work in beauty salon, stuff that chef use it in the kitchen, etc. and I explain what they will do also I put some games in my iPad  about building that can any child play with it. I gave them time to explore about these jobs and when the time for activities finished I put clean up song to clean the classroom.

Then, APPRAISE the situation.  What effect did the event have on you/your feelings?  How did it effect students’ learning? 

I'm so happy that my MST said to me "you did well this time and you knew what each child love to be with jobs" also I notes when I put the clean-up song I told them "to listen to the song and when the song is finished I want all of you finish clean up and set in the carpet " and they did they clean up fast and setting in the carpet". That makes my lesson very good and their behavioral less than before which they improving.  

Finally, TRANSFORM, the situation by writing how you would improve the situation in a future lesson.

I need to work on their behavioral again and again and for today's lesson their behavioral were satisfaction for me and for my MST.
