questions, such as, how did you get that?
Moreover, I will provide appropriate feedbacks for them and improve their learning.

Reflection:

What went well:

I integrated different learning styles such as, visual by showing students pictures while reading the story,
kinesthetic while moving their hand doing the activity and finally, auditory when students were listening to the
teacher while reading the story and introduce the lessons. As a result, students were engaged to that and
understand the lesson correctly.
The activities were perfect, students love it, enjoyed and participated in it.
I praised the students who were behaved well, participated and do a great job. As a result, other students
keeps quiet and try to copy their behavior.
The story was great and reinforce students to understand the lesson easily.
Even better if:

Have a time to complete their books. Students did not have enough time to complete the book tasks.
Therefore, I have to cancel some activities to be able to finish the books. Moreover, encourage the students if
they have finished their book tasks quickly, we will have a chance to play activities.

Next step in teaching and learning:

Use games while teaching.
Manage the time to be able to complete the books.
Integrates different learning styles.
