Reflection
This reflection will be about the English lesson that I did it in 22 th of February 2017. This lesson was a fifth lesson in this outcome so most of the students have a background bout the lesson. As well, most of the student’s know the sounds of the letters.
I used the weekly lesson plan that I did it with my MST last week, we prepared the activities depending in the students’ needs.
In addition, I used songs and music to help me in my action research. Montessori stated that the music helps children to learn naturally through hearing and repeating (Montessori, 1966).
I feel the lesson goes well and the students understand the lesson . As well, I think most of the students learned and I know this by asking them different questions through the lesson and when I saw their works in the centers. So, I think this lesson met my teaching goals.
There are many positive things that I did it in the lesson. First, I asked different kinds of questions in the circle time, which help them to think. Second, I engaged them by using a song about the cvc words and make them enjoy the lesson. Third, I give them clear instructions step by step. Fourth, I used different transition strategies such as, choice board and music. Fifth, I used different strategies of classroom management like brag tags. Sixth, I explained and modeled each activity in the center to help them to understand it. Seventh, I made hand on activities by using different materials to engage the students and develop their fine motor skills by letting them cut. According to Piaget learning by doing help the child to understand better (McLeod, 2015). Finally, I tried to support the students through give them positive feedback and ask their friends to praise them like: good job, excellent. Skinner believed that the “positive reinforcement strengthens a behavior by providing a consequence an individual finds rewarding” (McLeod, Skinner - Operant Conditioning, 2015).
However, there are some negative points too. First, I have a problem in time management because a spent a long time in the carpet. Second, I had some mistakes in my language (pronunciation and grammar).
In the next lesson, I will try to use a timer and manage the time for example, spent 10 minutes in the circle time, 20 minutes in the centers. In addition, I will try to develop my language especially my grammar and this by prepare my questions from before.
