My last day of TP. I don’t know should I feel, excited or sad. Am happy that am done, but on the other hand am sad that am leaving my students. I said my goodbyes to everyone my students, MST, and vice principal. I attended the last period in Amal’s class to benefit from her and her MST’s feedback. I feel like the college should Teach the basics of grammar to the entire campus.

13-3-2018 Today I had an FWA exam in the college, so I went to the college at first. and then went back to the School. I gave my student's lollypops . Making them happy with small things like candy, makes me happy. I didn't think I would be this Close to them at the end of the day. I would miss them the most. The best thing in my entire TP experience is having them 11-March-2018
Today I taught my last lesson which is a science lesson about magnetics they had an experiment where they must see what can get detached with the magnets and have to think why and how. Afterward's, I took the girls that I have picked previously and started to ask them questions and videoed them talking. Today am almost done with my Tasks It feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Am thinking about starting to work on Weebly. 8 - March - 2018 Today Ms. Nadya Came to observe me teaching English. I felt very nervous, I wanted to do well so it was overwhelming. I prepared the class one hour before she comes. I had everything I would do during the class written on a paper as a reminder. Being a teacher is not easy I sat for 7 hours preparing for my lesson it's very stressful, but still, i find my self very determined to become a good teacher. I learned from my mistakes. Now I feel like its ok to have mistakes because I learn from them, I didn't feel sad when I heard about ms. Nadya comments because I know its true and I do need to work on this specific part of my teaching. 6 - March- 2018
Today I taught math. The lesson was about Collect decimal numbers. I gave them an Activity where they should go to the supermarket and buy two products and solve the equation. The math teacher didn't let me handle the class by myself she kept interfering whenever I wanted to explain she talked before me. All of my preparation was gone to waste I prepared what the introduction would be which the math teacher said before me. I understand that she felt like helping that why I felt like I don’t want to be rude to her and tell her to stop. But I really wanted her to sit and watch me teach. Overall, it was a new enjoyable experience. I realized that students who wore LA in English subject, they are HA Students in math. Students enjoy math classes because the teacher gives them lots of online games and they have a points chart for each student who answers. 4 - March - 2018
Today I attended a class with Ahlam , And I feel like by observing her teaching I learned a lot from her mistakes. The principal of Asma school doesn’t appreciate having us she asked twice when we would leave, she didn’t even smile. It feels bad when you do your best and try to impress, and you feel unwanted for no reason. I sat with my math, science and English Teachers to fix a final date to present my last lesson for each subject. Overall am focused on having my assessments done and leaving this school with good last impression, then I would feel much better. 1-March-2018
Today I taught my third English lesson. It was great students understood the lesson although. I had issues with classroom management. Students came to my desk asking to go to the restroom. Students went to the restroom a lot. I must find a solution for this problem. MST gave me her feedback she said that I should stop using Arabic in the class and remind them of the classroom rules. In the break, I sat down with the math teacher and decided on what I would teach and when and she told me about some of the mathematical technique that I can use during teaching grade four math 27- Feb – 2018
Today I attended a math lesson in the first period, then I attended a science lesson The Science Teacher Showed me the curriculum and She picked a lesson for me to give the next week. At the last period, I taught a lesson about using presentence using the story ‘My Apron’. During the lesson, students asked to use the restroom a lot which made me worried. What if Ms. Nadya came to observe me and this happened I need to practice Teaching more. And I need to talk to my MST so she talks with them about this topic. 25-Feb-2018
Since my MST Teaches English once in a day I feel bored setting alone. I Attended a Science and math class. I didn’t get the chance to see a full science lesson because I reached the class in the last few minutes. And the Math class was amazing students wore participating and they understood the lesson. The math teacher had the students set in groups in each group there is an HA, MA, and an LA Student. After attending this classes student wore getting used to having me and now they enjoy my company. I would visit All these classes every day because I feel that visiting has helped me bond and understand each student more, and now I know each student’s strength and weaknesses. 22-Feb-2018
The day of my First Lesson in the School. My MST helped me a lot to prepare. I can’t thank her enough. She Printed the Students Names for me and the Thought me how to use the printer, etc. Finally, in the fifth Period, the MST introduced me to the students and I began the lesson. It wasn’t Hard at all. It's much easier than how it was in my last semester. Am confident now I know what I must do and what I need to do. I can point out what my weakness are and what I did perfectly. I would love to improve lots of things. Especially that I have to stop talking to students in Arabic in the class. I don’t know why I couldn’t stop using a little of Arabic even though I was aware of it, there is a girl named Ameena the MST treat her differently and give her worksheet that is not related to the subject because that girl is A special needs student. However, I don’t see that correct it needs to be changed. When I give the lesson, I gave her a worksheet just like the others, but I helped her a lot and checked on her more than others. Which is what I learned to do. I believe this is the correct way. |
