Reflection
1. How long do the children spend on one task? It depends on the task if it is easy, they
finish it on 10 min.
2. What kind of tasks do they do individually? In pairs? In groups? As a class?
The individual tasks like reviewing the sounds or the numbers. In groups like the
projects. As a class like the experiences.
3. How does the teacher introduce the task? How are the instructions checked?
The teacher shows them an example for the task, during the activity the teacher check if
the students are doing like the example.
4. Work with a child. Ask him/her about what they enjoy doing at school. The activities/subjects
and why. Ahmad, he says that he likes the activities that need colors and science.
5. Ask a child about the things they are good at and also about what they want to learn
more about.
I have asked more than two students and the answer was that they like to color and
draw. And I noticed they enjoy the kinesthetic activities like planting.
