AAWC Lesson Reflection

Lesson Theme	Math / Numbers	Student teacher	Mariam Obaid
School : Al Sho'aa KG School
Class	KG2 D	Date	October 27th, 2015
Overall aim and context of the lesson This is the third lesson in math numbers.  To handle the class properly by addressing on wanted behavior. Deliver the lesson properly with time management.

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 perfect lesson ever and Miss Sharon come and observed me this is the first time for her to observe me. I wasn't novice but this day I was sick and I thought that I'm losing my voice so I was worried. Even in the end of my lesson I was so sad because all the children didn't listen to me when I said clean up and they still doing the activities and I count from 1-10 to make them sitting in the carpet.  

DESCRIBE the situation, participants and events in detail

Even I was sick but I prepare a good lesson with numbers song and movement. Counting from 1-20 and I put all my activities in the centers. In the carpet I started to ask them where you can find numbers. They went around the classroom and told me the numbers, after that I told them to close their eyes while I put balls into a cone I told them to hear the voice when I drop the balls into a cone and they love this idea. One thing that I tried to teach them which is listening to the teacher.

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

In the centers I explain for them what they will do and I took mix levels of the students (LAPs, MAPs, HAPs, and SAEN) in my focused group. And I taught how they can match the numbers with stones. The students started doing the activities and they enjoyed, I was with my group and I gave them the activity to make them busy while I go around to the other groups to check what they doing. After that it is time to clean up and I told them to clean their centers but nobody listen to me they kept doing the activities so I count from 1-10 to make them sitting in the carpet but again no one listen to me.

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

I had to think quickly what to do so I talk to them and I told them "I'm not happy and you are not listening to me what happened today before you were listening but today!!!" they were sitting in the carpet listing to me quietly also I told them "you need to listen to your teacher when she speak you need to be listening, today I will not give you any point in class dojo and I will put you in yellow" and they took long time for cleaning their centers.  

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

I need to work on their behavioral and the time for cleaning the centers so I will put for them timer for doing the activities and time for cleaning their centers or I will put a song clean up, clean-up it is will help them to manage the time.
