Week one:

First day at Maryam School, first, I and my colleagues meet the principal to
introduce our self. Then, the vice principal divided us to the grades that
we are going to teach. I got grade two, and my Math MST named T. Farah. I
met her and discussed about the students, curriculum, and about my
Teaching Practice Booklet. Moreover, I asked her about her rules in her
classroom and the strategies they used through teaching. Now its time to
have session five and here I met the students that Im going to teach them
for the three subjects (Math, English, and Science). I observed an English
class with grade 2/1. The teacher used a lot of transitions. And the
transition in the classroom is rarely a strategy happen in government
school, especially for primary. First, the students come from outside the
class to the class in one line. When they sat on their table, the teacher
checks the attendance with the students. Also, they had revision about
the days of the week, and the months of the year. Moreover, the teacher
asked them about the date of today. However, then the students moved
again to their desks with another song. I really like the way the teacher
control of students. Then they have a revision for the exam. In contrast,
the teacher uses the same strategies for different classes. Such as, keep
students organized, attentive, and focused during a class. Thats when
the teacher applied different activities in the class, depending on the
theories. She used group activities so, the students help and support each
other according theries.
