Movement lesson

  Writing a Reflection Name:

Select My event is  how I can deal with an active child.   I selected it because I saw the teacher of KG 2-4  put a large plate containing cards with the names of all the students then when the students came to their class they chose their names and put them on the list of attendees and that helped  the teacher to know who was absent. This drew my attention, but I saw that  child Salem did not follows this rule and when teacher told him to put his name he said ok but in fact he did not do it.

Describe  During my observation of this child, I noticed he is busy and active boy. When I taught them a lesson about movement and drama. I thought about him, I wants something to make him busy so I used this strategy with him which is trying to keep him busy, but in something I want him to do it like I choose Salem to be the leader and explain to him he should to be controlled in his behavior and assist me or I will choose somebody else.

Analyze: I really notice he like this and he became obey. Also, during my lesson I asked him to help me to show students cards and when I told him " good boy" he smiled. His preferred activities are moving and drawing. I used that as much as possible to keep him engaged.

Appraise: After that , in the break I sat with other students to talk and he just walked around us but I try to raise my voice to hear me  ( I was talking about the football) so he came  to sit with us and share his opinion with us and we do this every day in the break. Finally, I felt he feels comfortable to talk with me because he was starting to talk with me and told me about his family or something he felt interesting about it.

Transform In the future, I should be more wiser and patient when I deal with the students and use encouraging means to stimulate students' creativity, such as the work of a certificate of appreciation to them and give them gifts. I am sure this strategies will work with other children like Salem. But also,  I will still use punish way with how don't follow the rules in my class .
