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.

First Day Teaching
02.09.2009
For the first day of prac I was required to do a Music lesson. I personally enjoy music a lot so I was very excited to undertake this lesson with the class. The general idea of the lesson was that I, as the teacher, would introduce the students to a chant through the use of imitation. The topic the students were doing was Healthy Choices so I chose a chant based on food, namely Hot Cross Buns. I got the students to experiment with dynamics once they had become familiar with the chant. Lastly I gave them a worksheet to complete. There were some classroom management issues such as talking while teacher is talking, calling out, and getting out of seat without permission. In regards to students they seemed to be actively engaged in the activity and complete the worksheet satisfactory. As a teacher I could’ve praised students that were working well a lot more, and remember to stop and wait for full attention. I did, however, speak clearly and had excellent volume in my voice. My teacher was also pleased with the way that I used ‘partner work.’ In terms of structure the transitions could have been better prepared, however it was well structured in terms of where they were going and what they were doing.
