Journal 6 week 3 (journal about my concluding lesson)

What is your general feeling about TP at the end of the day? I think I was comfortable in explaining the concluding as it was easy because the subject was about day and night and the students understand it.

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? I did an activity that was cut and glue so the students finished doing it in 5 min. I think I could improve my classroom management because I did not explain the safety of using the Scissor, nobody got hurt but my mentor advice to do that.

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. The teacher used a video to attract the students, the video talked about how is the sun is a big star, it is hot, and it is important to the earth. It was interesting cause the students understand the concept and they had fun singing the song.

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 was able to speak more comfortably as the English vocabulary was simple.

What evidence of learning did you identify/document today? Relate this to the ADEC curriculum goals. Explain how particular animals, including humans, respond to night and day. I review what the teacher teach them during the class

What was the most important thing you learnt 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. I have to manage my classroom really well.
