This lesson will be taught for girls and boys in FS2.

It will be about different animals.

Teaching goal
The overall aim of this lesson is to read the story of brown bear what do you see.
Learning objectives
-

Read the story of brown bear, brown bear what do you see.

- Identify the different animals in the story and know their colors.
Assumptions about prior learning

Some students may know about this story.

Some students may know the name of the animals, but they may not know the color of each animal.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
I may have a problem with the speaker, so I will sing the song of the bear instead of the song.

I may face some annoying behaviors, so I will use the silent strategy in order to show the children that im
feeling sad then they will behave well.
Personal focus for this lesson

Varying my voice.
- To catch my studentss attention, I need to speak in a loud voice to make sure that everyone is able to listen
to me clearly. However, sometimes speaking in a low voice is required to make the student quiet and
concentrate with me.
Give clear inscriptions:

Reflection:

Being at Rak academy school for three weeks, gave me the

chance to observe different strategies and routines used in the class
every day to organize and manage both the students and the
classroom environment. Here are examples of routines observed
during TP taking the attendance, lining up the students, choosing the
star of the day, and presenting a short movies. The children learn
about these routines from the beginning of the course and as they get
the chance to repeat it and practice it every day, the students become
familiar with each one. In addition, the most effective routine is
choosing the star of the day,and I would like to use it for my students
in the future because it really works with the children, and as I noticed
from my TP, the students were motivated and encouraged to behave
very well in order to sit on the big chair. So, this routine helps the
teacher in reinforcing the positive behaviors in the class, and it reduces
the negative attitudes since the other children were working very hard
to be the star for next days. Another good routine is using tidy up song
to inform the students, that they need to stop playing and start
cleaning. This routine helps in saving the class time, the teacher
doesnt repeat her instructions many times, she just starts to sing the
song and the kids understand her automatically.
