Teachers’

Yansi Hernandez
This was
the first class with children. T Yansi and Nicole greet their Ss. They said
their name 3 times holding a sponge bob teddy and moving it. Teachers asked Ss
to stand up and make a circle, they introduce themselves again using the teddy.
Then, T Yansi asked the next student to do the same and so on. They did the
activity twice, so it help teachers to remember students’ names. When they
finished could students sit down. After that, teacher Nicole asked ss to write
their name in a stick paper, they help kids to do it and then pasted it in
their chest.
In the next
stage T Nicole presented the topic. She pronounce the family members (mother,
father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather), and asked their ss to
repeat the word as necessary as possible. Then, she said the words again, but
she also did the mimics of each word. For example in the word father she put
her finger in the mouth simulating a mustache, and every student had to do the
same. She asked Ss to make a circle and she continue presented the actions of
the other words. T leave students to sit dawn and she asked them to do the
mimic of the family member showing in the flashcard she was holding.
Then, T Yansi and Nicole provide Ss some flashcards and labels. The purpose of this
activity was to make students match the pictures with their corresponding
labels. Also, Ss had keep together. When teachers see that was difficult to do
what they want, they asked Ss to return to their desks.
In the
following activity, T Nicole ad Yansi gave students some flashcards again. They
said students that they were going to sing a song about family members. T
Nicole started to sing and ss had to hold the flashcard when teachers asked for
a specific family member. Both teacher take turns to sing the song. They
couldn’t finished the song because ss were distracted and did not participate
in the activity, so T Yansi recollect the flashcards to start the next
activity.
T Nicole
provide students 6 different family members in pieces of papers. Ss put them in
the desk and they t Yansi gave them a poster with a tree drawing. Teachers
model the activity and asked Ss to paste the pictures in order. They gave
masking tape and ss started to do the task. There were not a lot of time and teachers
asked Ss to continue the activity in their house.
Finally, T Yansi and Nicole showed the flashcards to ss and asked them “who is this”. Ss had to identify and mention the family member it was.
Teachers finished the class and gave a snack to their students and say good-bye.
This class had really nice materials and activities, but to keep the attention of students was really difficult. even if there were some mistakes teachers could improvise in the activities.
This is the lesson plan of this class:

ReplyDeleteHello, Maria Jose as you said this was the first class with children all of us were really nervous even if we did not teach that day. Also I agree with you about the excellent material however, as you said I consider activities did not caught the attention of students completely. We have to consider these details with children because no all the activity will work as we want with them .
ReplyDeleteMaria Jose I agree with you when you mentioned the materials that teachers used were good because I consider they were appropriate and visible for all students. Also, the materials were colorful which caught students’ attention, and images that they printed helped students to understand easier because they already know Simpson’s family. It was a well-known cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI consider that overall the class was good, the materials used and the size, also the activities that were prepared were appropriate for the age. I think that in the activity of the song it would have been good if the teacher had brought a poster with the lyrics to help students better repeat after them.
