Week 1

4 Oct 2015, Sunday:

This is the first day in my TP in Al Bahja Kindergarten. I felt happy to meet new teachers,
principal and students. I like the appearance of kindergarten from the outside and the
inside, where attract visitors and also the students to engorge them to learn and play in
safe environment. In terms of the curriculum (KG1= Arabic) (KG2= Arabic and English),
distribution units (each theme still 2 week) and times (studying, playing, eating), I
discuss this information with principal and I take paper for each of them. On other hand
I like the design of classroom that includes many areas (Art, Read, Act, science also
eating room) and each area have special rules and a questionnaire for student it is
packaged by teacher (observing).

Art area

Act area

Reading area

science area

A questionnaire

In this day they dont make assembly, they start the lesson directly. I entered 2 different
classes in KG 1. They start with new theme is (me), I observe that each teacher have
different learning style while the lesson was same. I believe teacher style of teaching
can affect children learning to be more active and participate with teacher in class and
teacher should use more questions to ask the student because that helps them to think
and use their knowledge, whoever use interest activity can make them happy and same
time the learn. The teachers were kind with use (training teacher) they greet us and
gave us foods to eat with them.

5 Oct 2015, Monday:

Second day for my TP, I went to another different classroom KG2. It was Arabic class
at 8:30, the class starts with attendants, student put the card that includes his or
her name and picture in the board that have pockets. They start with routine
morning song, attendants, review the lesson they take it before, then start with
new lesson. After the lesson it was eating time so the student went to eating
room. First, the students wash their hand take one dish to put the sand wash in it.

Basket that inched student dishes

Student cups

After they finish eating, it is areas time. Student should wear (card that represents the
area) each areas have a specific number of students can play in it) so the student who
dont have card they cant play in this area. At 10:15 am is time for playground. There
are two periods of rotation (observe student while they play) each period is 15 minutes,
the have table for teachers who will rotate in first and second period. Drink water
before the lesson, so the student go back to class and each of student have special cup
that have the name and image for student. They hold the cup and make the line and
the teacher pour the water in it. Second lesson start at 10:45am it was English class. She
start her listen by routine ,morning song and day of the week song ,then she start
the lesson by review the letter B and she give them worksheet to do it.
For the second day experience, routine can help student to be organizing and
interaction with teacher in class. Such as repeat the rules. Teacher make simple
move act like jumping, clap their hand when she feel that student are very active
or when they feel sleepy. The most things I interest is this classroom have at
least 3 student of special need, I have noticed one of them is very active he cant
site in same place. After the class she takes with me about these students, but I
am spires they are very smart and very active and participate with teacher.
Finally, the Arabic teacher has nice strategies to communicate with parent by
give the (note book( about what students have in this week, who the parent can
help the student and in the bottom of the note there is space for parent to
write advice, opinion or questions.

6 Oct 2015, Tuesday:

different level (low level, they trace numbers 2 and color it (medium level, Put circle around
the small number that inside big number, for example big number 2 include many small
number, so the student must circle the small 2 number) (high level, the student should count
the pictures that have 2 object and match with number 2). Finally, I evaluate them by do

simple activity for all student , give them cards that include picture for face part(eyes , ears ,
noise ,mouth ,face) and give them to answer (number 1 and 2) so they count the pictures then
choose right answer by put the clothes pen.
Reflection:
It is first time I teach them so naturally I have some mistakes. My Mst gives me
some advice: use routine song for morning song it is better for them, use A4 of A3
pictures if use it for whole class. I have classroom management. On the other
she likes the song of rules and the way that I present it (with acting), also the
shes like the activities. I think in next time I should work more for how to manage
the student.
