Willow Bend Kindergarten Lesson

Improved Essays
I participated in a couple of activities and taught a couple of lessons at Willow Bend kindergarten. The first lesson I taught was a fall lesson. The students were asked to cut out leaves and a tree branch from construction paper. Then they were asked to write the word “the” a couple of times in a sentence. The students loved the lesson so much that some of them were saying it was the best day ever. They turned out very neat that I got to hang them up in the classroom and that made me feel very happy for what I had achieved. Another lesson that I taught was a center lesson. In this reading center, I used an ABC kahoot. The students really enjoyed it. One other center that I taught was called “the little scarecrow boy”. In this lesson, I encountered …show more content…
One very important things I learned it to always stay connected with the parents. Every time a student forgot their folder or misbehaved she will email them right after school. She also taught me how to be organized and literally label everything. She was also very descriptive with her centers and will always explain each center. On the first lesson I showed her she taught me to be very specific on the materials and be very specific on my procedure. She also taught me a few different way on how to start a lesson. She also showed me a couple websites where I can find find very neat lesson plans. Also a website called “teachers pay teachers” where another teacher can pay you to use your lesson which I find very cool. I also learned the way she taught a student a letter. She would use a “chopper” made with their hands or by asking the student to place their fingers under their chin to make the sound. Another thing I learned is that not always are the students projects supposed to look the same or be perfect. For my first lesson I trace what the students had to cut off but for my second one I set them free and just gave them instructions on how to do it. That way every project was done by the student and they all looked different but yet achieved on what I had asked them to do. All these were great things and advices I learned from my cooperative

    Week Three Devotional God is in the people business and the command is simple; go, baptize, and teach. Why? Because Jesus, being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, said so. The slave is not greater than the Master and as His bond servants, our obedience is not optional but is a requirement. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17 KJV). It seems that as we get older we become our hearing diminishes.…

    I arrived at Easton School District’s Forks Elementary School at around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a few minutes before the children were let in for class, to observe a 4th grade classroom. The instructor for the class, Mrs. Powell met with me in the main office to walk me down to her classroom. The first thing I saw when walking into the classroom was all of the different learning tools around the room, Mrs. Powell's use of both chalkboards for different objectives was just one, along with open reading areas. The classroom was set up into different 4 person groups, in which the students were able to work together and collaborate. When I was getting settled into the classroom around 9:00 a.m., the students began to arrive officially starting…

    Introduction: How Children Succed p.xiii&xv In this introduction I was surprised on how they are having three year olds filling out worksheets and completing drills on letter and number recognition (Tough, 2013, p.xiii). I did notice when my son went to transitional kindergarten that what was expected from him was what a kindergarten back then would be learning. When he went to kindergarten he was expected to know more than what I remember was required before.…

    My observation was done on a Pre-K class room at a local Kinder Care Learning Center around 4:30pm in the afternoon. During this time the teachers are preparing the children to leave for the day. The class room was set up to show that the kids were preparing for regular school and not just spending their entire day napping and singing songs. The room had about 6 windows that allowed a lot of natural light, there were 2 square tables with at least 6 little chairs at each table, and a small round blue table. The room was filled with book shelves, cabinets with pictures of the children on the cabinet doors; each child had a cubby with their name and a picture of them displayed on the front of it.…

    Another teaching lesson I found was how Little would use the break in between the semesters to go over what they had studied in the past few months. This is a very good teaching method because sometimes some students might need to refresh their mind on what they previously learned especially since students learn so much in just one semester. 2) Olivia was a very hard working student and was attached to school because she saw it like a refuge from her own home. At home she would get constant beatings from her mother until she finally got tired of it and left. The only motivation she really had were the complements she would receive from her teachers.…

    When I walked into the preschool classroom, I noticed it was very large and very spacious which allowed enough space for each child. Natural light, provided there was no glare in the room, was able to help students learn more effectively. Upon entering the class, I quickly noticed all the children curiously turn to look who I was while they were having large group time for half an hour. During that time, they sang songs, had calendar time and the teacher did an overview of the day. I was very impressed at how cooperative they were for her.…

    In the Pre-K classroom that I observed it consisted of several different centers for the children to participate in, such as: block area, dramatic play, art, library, sand/water table, music/movement, sensory area, finger painting, play dough, and the students got the opportunity to make their own snacks. Not only did the students get to participate in centers, they had the opportunity each day to go outside and play on the playground as well as having an interactive lecture every morning at circle time and when the students sat down at their tables to do their daily worksheet. I believe that the Pre-K class I observed was a mix between traditional teaching as well as constructivism, creating a balance between the two. In the morning during circle time, the teacher would “lecture” the students with the letter of the day, go over the date, months, days of the week, shapes, and the numbers up to the date it currently was.…

    There are many classroom management skills a teacher should use on a daily basis with their students. Teachers should address behavior issues within the classroom quickly and promptly so that students know how they are expected to act in the classroom. Use cues for when students need to be quiet and when they need to transition to different classrooms or when changing the subject. Always have an engaging curriculum that accommodates all students where they learn but at the same time have fun. Have a daily routine we follow everyday so the students know exactly what’s happening throughout the day and what I expect out of…

    As children begin to grow and become of age to attend school, they will begin to learn so many important things from their early childhood education. Child hood education teaches these kids to think outside of the box and to be different.

Kids need to have learned the correct social skills, how to express emotions, and how to pick up what a teacher is teaching.…
