Delete1.1. The sign language (deaf-mute) people used. It’s interesting because not all teachers know about this and is an excellent way to expose students to get use of something new.
1.2. The way she teaches is interesting because they participated a lot.
1.3. She’s got students’ control.
1.4. How she motivated students to get ready for the theme through a short song.
1.5. The way how she elicited from students
2.
2.1. It seems to me that the class was boring. Even though the class was not dynamic students were knowledgeable.
2.2. Students were immersed in everything the teacher asked for.
2.3. Students were active (participating) a lot which is good.
2.4. The teacher used techniques such as: allowing students to say the word in their head and then she asks to a student to tell her the correct word. Also, if they knew the word they raised their hand and tell her.
2.5. Repetitions in the classroom were good, because in that way students are aware of the sounds, either short or long.
3.
3.1. First at all, she didn’t have to ask questions. Because not all the students know about the topic.
3.2. Second, she shouldn’t be sitting unless she tells them a story.
3.3. Third, the class should be students-centered instead of teacher-centered
4.
4.1. I would make an activity at the beginning of the lesson for students to get involve, have fun with them and activate students’ prior knowledge.
4.2. Place several flashcards around the classroom with their corresponding words in order to catch their attention, in which students will be capable to identify long and short sound.
4.3. Make activities to develop communicative competences.
5. Definitively not. Because I don’t have patience to deal with kids. And having kids demand to have patience. I’m not creative person to have lots of activities to make with children in the classroom. And having a kindergarten level requires to have creativity, dedication to deal with kids among other things that I consider myself not to have the above mentioned
1.
ReplyDeletea)She is active
b)Makes sure that everyone participate
c)The uso of songs to teach
d)She congratulates them
e)good empahis on the pronunciation of the sounds
2.
a)Everyone participate
b)They were paying attention
c)It is a short group of kids
d)The uso of repetion adding gradually speed
e)In order to participate, they rose their hand
3.
a)Too much content in a short time
b)Too much control on kids' behaviour
c)I thingk that vowel sounds should not be taught in a few minutes
4.
a)I would make sound corners to students can move around the classroom
b)I would presents multiple choice activity,and students can organize each word according tothe sound it belong
c)I would use tongue twister to practice the sounds and have fun
5. No, I wouldn't teach in a kindergarten because I consider myself a very demanding teacher and ittle kids require a more sensitive treatment and also their teacher is almost in charge of forming their personalities when they grow up.

ReplyDelete• Good things about the teacher:
ReplyDelete1. Nice outfit and well-formed-legs.
2. The praising of students who did answer correctly.
3. The usage of vocabulary according to the educational level and teaching them sign language, Thumbs up for that!
4. Encourages all students’ participation.
5. Established routines, and previously inform the students about the upcoming activity (centers).
P.S: I´ve been working alongside a few preschool teachers that were trained by this “teacher”.
• Good things about the class:
1. The usage of songs to introduce the activity.
2. Well-organized class but I don´t agree with the rigidly structure of it.
3. Equipment and resources according to the level.
4. Great lighting and a considerable small group of student.
5. The final product: 15 BEAUTIFUL robots (Sorry for being this sarcastic! I promise, I did double check my responses thou.)
• Things not done in a right way, according to the level:
1. The lesson is not being suitable to all the students´ different learning styles and preferences.
2. When providing feedback to children, a teacher must try to positive reinforce and positive correct their students as well. Instead of saying; “NO! Not quite!”, even though a student' response is not correct or is not related to the topic, provide corrective phrases like; “Nice try!" "Who would like to help fulanito?", to promote cooperative learning and help each other when elaborating correct responses or creating their own meanings.
3. The teacher seems to have no affective connection with her students. (I can definitely tell that her favorite students are Kyle, and Sabrina)
• Things I would do differently in the lesson:
1. Instead of a teacher-centered class, I would encourage my students to lead the class, providing output, and peer feedback by becoming an observer and leading them to focus on the discussed topic.
2. I would definitely be more tolerant of the learner´s errors.
3. I would provide opportunities for students to produce the language, by letting students read the words, encourage them to think of and provide words that they might know that have the same letter sounds, or by letting them provide sentences using the words displayed in the pocket chart.
• Is kindergarten a level you would teach? Why? or why not? Explain.
Definitely, YES! Considering my personal interest and passion for helping young kids to achieve their learning goals. Teaching preschoolers it is definitely one of the most heartwarming and rewarding jobs ever. Preschool teachers learn to better identificate the students needs and wants, apply different methods according to your students´ learning style. By becoming a preschool teacher I´ve had the freedom to explore parts of myself that thrive off childlike experiences, plus I´ve improved the ability to naturally connect with kids making me somewhat a noble-feeling person, by taking care, and also helping the most vulnerable of all human beings, kids.I know, it´s a HUGE responsibility! Personally, through my experience as a preschool teacher, I´ve been challenge to refresh my imagination and creative skills through the activities I´ve got to include in my lesson plans, and the learning outcomes. I´m better at multitasking, too!
At the end, of each school year it will amaze you to see how quickly kids grow and start making their own way into the world.
Teaching preschool is a guarantee that you would NEVER get bored.

2.
a) Well resourced classroom.
b) There is a class routine established.

d) Students paid attention.
e) Great class managing.
3.
a) The way she corrects them could be a bit more relaxed?
b) She could’ve used an activity where students worked together.
c) She is not letting them communicate with each other, I understand she is managing the class but I think is good for them to be able to share with each other or even ask them how did they like the activity.
4.
a) I would maybe include music in the song and not just singing.
b) I would correct them in a different way by encouraging at the same time to take another try or trying to relate what they said with what we want, so they don’t feel like completely lost.
c) I would ask them which activity they liked better or what do they think about it so they can share and also getting kind of a feedback from them.
5. Honestly I wouldn’t, I understand is a very important level where kids are learning a base maybe for life and that’s actually the good part of it but I think the affective part is very important and a kindergarten teacher must have that in her since kids are that level are usually very sensible so I don’t think I have that in me.
