Journal 5 week 3 ( journal about my mentor lesson)

What is your general feeling about TP at the end of the day? Today my mentor begin the science week. The teacher used many creative ways to deliver the science subject in a way that is simple or easy to grade 1 and 2.

Reflect on the duties / activities did you carry out during the preschool today. How do you feel about your efforts? Was there anything you could have done to improve the quality of the learning experience for the children? My mentor did an activity about the moon, also the activity teaches the students that the moon is bumpy. A4 black paper with a circle drawing at it, and they start to color the moon using cotton so the moon could be bumpy. In addition, I helped the students to write a sentence about the moon (the bumpy moon).

What was the most interesting activity or strategy you saw your MENTOR use? Why did you think it was interesting and worth noting/remembering? Compare this with previous TP experience. She used tidy up song so students clean their desks.

What progress have you made in terms of your own personal targets for TP this semester? Which TP competencies do you feel you achieved and which do you think that you need to focus on next time? Discuss ways in which you could do this. I think I made progress in understanding the ability of the students for example who can write the moon by his self and who need help in writing it

What evidence of learning did you identify/document today? Relate this to the ADEC curriculum goals. My mentor defends what is the moon and the moon is bumpy.

What was the most important thing you learned about the role of the teacher in managing all aspects of the school day? Compare this with previous TP experience and where possible make links with college based learning. That I have to manage the students to use the materials in a good way like when the used colors they should understand that is used for coloring the moon and not their hand or their friends clothes.
