Comments
Document what you found

taught any part of this
lesson differently?

Good morning to you ?

How are you today? How
are you How are you, How
are today? ( daily greeting
song )

Good morning

morning teacher ,
Good morning
Good morning,
Good morning
teacher .

Every day the teacher

starts her class with good
morning to you song. And I
feel its interesting because
Kindergarten children
naturally love to sing & It is
one of the many ways they
learn. Singing also makes
learning fun and is a feelgood activity. Physical skills
are enhanced when
combining actions with song

Review the previews lesson.

it was about the different
between living thing than
non-living thing , then she
starts asking about the
needs . for example:
Who can give me non-living
thing ?

Students were
involved with her
and answering the
questions.

teacher starts her lesson

with small reviewing to keep
material fresh in students
mind because reviewing will
help students feel more
comfortable with old
material and give her the
opportunity to combine
topics which may have been
studied.
