Third Day Teaching

04.09.2009
For this lesson I did a craft activity as it was apart of the structured play segment. I decided to make paper caterpillars as it continued on from a lesson they did earlier in the week on “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. I pre-made the lines on the paper for the students to cut out. Overall the lesson went very well I developed a great rapport with the students. In terms of the students they kept on task and seemed to enjoy making their caterpillars. As a teacher I tried to keep my directions short and clear.

I also an English lesson on sight words. Students were familiar with a lot of sight words and I allowed them to do some revision on them. Then I taught them a new sight word, “after”. I used strategies such as getting students to take a picture of the word and putting it in their head, writing the word on their arm, in the arm, and on the floor. Students responded very well to this lesson and most students were able to identify the words. As a teacher I ought to praise students more and attempt to achieve minimal call outs throughout the lesson. I also did a Math lesson focusing on “friends of ten”. The students really enjoyed this lesson.
