Third week March ( 6-9) 2016.

Third week was a short week, I taught sciences lessons for 2 classes and I taught math centers as groups. I have used class Dojo for my students and it works well and they like it. My mentor doesn't use class dojo becuase she has used other things rather it such as, card award, Ladder of names and stickers. all have different ways to manage the students and my mentor has used countdown with low her voice to manage her students and I really like it and I have used it. My mentor said it takes a long time to manage the students because they used her and if I use a new way it needs time to work. I noticed that, the students like who praise them and it helps to manage them as well so I have used the way to manage them. According to Tyler Hester it's imporatnt to praise What and When You CanCall attention to the things your students are doing that meet your expectations.

Science

1LW7 : describe how people and animals get energy.

I divided the outcome to parts because it's difficult to teach the children many things in one day. - The first day, I taught them about energy and where the energy comes from. The activity was drawing in own plate their favorite food.

The key words were Food, Energy,Move and Grow.

- The scond lesson, they learned about food pyramid, they understood the food in the bottom the best food and the less value of food that in the top the pyramid.

The activity was cut pictures of food and make food pyramid.

The Key words were Food pyramid, top , bottom

- The third lesson, I taught them about healthy and unhealthy food.

The activity was sort healthy and unhealthy food and write some name of the food.

The Key words were Healthy, Unhealthy food.

Math centers

1NWN1 state the forwards number sequence from 1-20 (Emerging)

I taught the group how they count from 1-20 and how they write the number from 1 to 12.

The activity was count from 1-20 then write the number on the paper from 1-12 and see the unmber from the clock if they need help in the end used cubes to make each number.

1NWN8 identify the place value of numbers with up to 2 digits, use place value models (Mastered).

I taught the group about place value and they understood very well, I gave each one a small board, marker and cubes, they liked it I have used stickers to motivate them as well.

1SGD1: identify and describe simple 2d shapes,I observed students when they had made different shapes independently work and I asked about the name of shapes. They had made letter shapes as well.

I have involved the students in building number from 1 to 10, they liked when I shared them as playing.

English, Teacher read a story for the students for focusing on some words that they took before. I taught some groups about some words. (Developing group) I said the words that on the board then they pointed them then I pointed the words and they said them.

(Emerging) I taught them 4 words that they couldn't remember their shapes ( I, She, He and It).

We use the strategy ( look at the word then say the word in the end write the word).

(Mastered) I listened to them when they read story. they were very good in reading. (independently reading)

My Teacher strategy.

I liked the way to warm up the students before beginning the class, they sing letters songs to promote what they have learned. My school teacher always says see words and say words in the end write the words.
