The activity I planned was based on fine motor development skills. The activity I set was a shopping role play area. The shopping role play area had food, baskets and a till. The till had buttons to open it up and coins inside. This was set up in a small area of the classroom and there was five children taking part.…
I think that I was very effective in implementing the activity as I asked relevant question and gave all the children a chance to be physically involved and help with something. However I wasn't very effective in challenging the more able children and if I was to do this activity again I would prepare something a little harder for the children that find it easy as children need to be challenged in order to achieve the best of their ability. They also need work that is to their standards to keep them interested. As I failed to do this some children found it too easy and therefore became bored.…
In this lab, I played with a group of children when they were representing different characters. The children represented the Zompies character, and one boy came to me and said, “I will eat your hart”. Also, they played Ninga and they hide their faces. I helped the teachers to organize the classroom, and sat with the larger group when they play. I tried to help the children when they had conflicts with other peers and give them simple and clear instructions. In addition, I did a lesson plan to the children and they have to manipulate their hand by using clay to create their first letters, and I think they had interest with it.…

I would actively encourage each child to participate including demonstrating how the instruments are used. I would make myself aware of any SEN children within the class that may be affected by this type of lesson where the noise levels would be higher than normal.…
I sat with the children whilst they joined in with the activity. Talking to the children about what they were doing and describing all the different colours, sizes, shapes etc. This was promoting their speech and language development and using creative skills too.…
Think about the desired outcomes of the activity, and about what you are trying to achieve. If the activity is something the children and young people can progress in, ensure there are progression steps they can make to better themselves and their learning.…
I chose the grade level of third graders which is normally their physical and mental development skills are beyond the skill level of the activity I have choosing in my lesson plan.…
In addition to this I think it would be important for myself to get involved with playing one of the instruments and to model how to use it correctly as children” copy “ what they see. Then they will know how to play an instrument the correct and safe way. I, in turn, would then get a better connection with the children during that lesson, it would also send out a positive message to the class as it would show that we could all join in for a fun, but still effective lesson together which would not only give us a lesson to look forward too but also give us a better understanding of what type of learning methods we can use for other lessons, for example, the…
The first recommendation for this toddler is to plan enough time for her to participate in the activity. Due to her wanting to take her time and wanting feedback from the teachers, it is recommended that they is enough time for each child to participate on their own in the manner that they wish. The objective that corresponds with this recommendation is that the toddler will use the extra time given in order to move their bodies by running and moving their arms around the room to the music. While referring back to the Omnibus Guidelines text, it is important for young children to have time to express their feelings if they are unable to express them verbally. I have implicated this into my objective by allowing time for toddlers to move their bodies to music to express themselves through creative…
The indoor activity consisted of an arts and craft project. The children were given a paper plate with the rigid edges cut off leaving only a round flat surface, it also contained 3 medium sized hole punches. The children were given 9 strips of different colored paper and were instructed to staple them into circles and link them together attaching them to the hole punches. They were given glitter, paint coloring pencils and crayons and were able to decorate their wind chime however they pleased. The children were given 30 minutes to complete the task accordingly.…
For my classroom observation, I chose to observe two classrooms with teachers I do not work with at my current job Bobbie Smith Elementary in Long Beach, CA. My area of interest is elementary, I chose to observe a Kindergarten and Second grade classroom. Although I prefer to teach a Kindergarten class and not go over the Second grade, I know that teachers never get a pick of what grades you teach sometimes. So I am glad that I am able to gain experience in each grade level.…
This object that is important to me is from my Pre-K teacher Mrs. Judy. My book is wrinkled and bent. It also has the aroma of Kindergarten every time you open the book. It is also titled Clifford the Big Red Dog Goes to School.…
Students are engaged 90% of the time during this lesson( they are left to do most of the talking, the teacher corrects and talks only about 10% of this lesson)…
1.1 Teaching assistants should be a lot more actively involved in delivering learning activities. This may be by setting up the room with the correct resources before the lesson takes place and laying out the tables and chairs etc. One to one support may be needed for some pupils; this should have been discussed before the lesson. It may be that the T.A is put to work with one specific table/group of children or just float around the classroom and be available if any of the children ask for help. It would be most likely that after the activity the T.A would pack resources and work away while…
