Lesson 1

Conversation between normal student and special need student. This reflection about how I react. 

This happened today in 27 of Oct 2015 when I teach the KG A students,  literacy lesson.  When I sat with the students on the carpet. I start to warm up the lesson and make different activity for the whole class in the circle. I asked the students: who can write the letter I? Most of students raise their hands and want to answer. I choose boys called Abdulla. This boy is from special need and he has a physical disability in his legs so he can’t walk but he can crawl. 

 I asked this student to come and write the letter on the board. Suddenly, some of the students  said  in a loud voice: He can’t answer and he likes a baby can’t walk. I ignored this student and asked Abdulla to complete. Abdulla came and write the letter by a right way.  After that, I asked the student to praise and clap for Abdulla.  After they finished, I took this student and I talk with him about Abdulla and I told him that Abdulla is the same students and he from their friend so we must to help and love him.

When this event happened, I felt very sad and angry, but I tried to control myself and my react. And I tried to encourage Abdulla more to make him feel  confident.  

I think the students in class need  to be more awareness about how they must to deal with Abdullah.

fight in class

Two boys had a fight in class. This reflection is about how I reacted.  

This was happened on my teaching practice, when I taught one of my lessons, in centers time. All students was worked in their activities and I tried to walk around them and see them if they need any helps, while my MCT and MST observed me and evaluated me. 

The students were very busy in their activities. Suddenly two of students stand up and started to fight in front of the class and the teachers. The teachers looked at me and watched me how I can deal with the problem. First, I tried to stop them. They didn’t respond and complete their fight. Then, I warned them if they didn’t stop I will use the behavior chart. Also they didn’t stop. Finally, I used the traffic light behavior chart, then when they stop. And I change their place by put each one in different center.

When they fight I felt very nervous especially when the teachers looked at me. This is the first time I faced this problem in my lessons. I tried to fix the problem quickly without shouting and feel angry. When I solved the problem I felt comfortable and very proud. Also, my MCT miss Kasha was very pleased from what I did.

In the future I will try to use many strategies and engagement activities to make students busy in their work.
