Reflection 1 A

Aisha taught her first lesson on writing the letter "a" in a curly caterpillar form to KG-1 students. While nervous at first, the lesson went okay though not as well as she wanted. The students followed along and seemed comfortable with her. For her next lesson, Aisha wants to improve on moving around more to check students' progress and incorporating a performance art component as required by her PDP.

Reflection

For my first lesson, I was to teach the curly caterpillar form of writing the letter a for

My KG-1 students. I was extremely nervous as I was worried the students wouldnt listen to me

and would be too playful with me. I prepared all the materials on each table and waited for my

MST to give me the cue to jump in after her Morning greeting and attendance. I wanted to

ensure that the students knew where to start the top whilst writing the letter as from what Ive

previously seen isnt what they did. The students rather started to just copy how the letter looks

like in any form they want as long as it looks the same. The lesson went by okay, it wasnt as

good as I wanted it to be. I messed up in the beginning because I was suddenly too nervous and

overwhelmed by everything and forgot to have the students practice writing the letter a in the air.

The students followed along well even though it was my first time teaching them, I felt accepted

as a teacher when they started to all try and sit by me during our circle time. I believe the

2
students responded the way they did because they were familiar with me as its my second week

of attending and I got to know them, also with the way of teaching as I followed the MSTs style.

I followed the curriculum and style of teaching similar to the MSTs usual lessons and that

collaboration was issued through a discussion with my MST two days prior to the lesson. I

engaged with the students whilst having them write the letters on their mini white boards and

checking on all their progress, I however regret not being able to have enough time to move

around during activity time on seeing their progress as I was more focused on the SEN student.

The lessons main objectives were achieved and the lessons goal was successful however my

PDP wasnt achieved as it requires a performance arts lesson. One thing I felt was a scaffolding

moment is when my MST said that we dont have enough time to paint, so we had the students

color the letter a sheets then cut them, this helped the students practice the curves, the students

enjoyed the activity, I however sat in constant fear that a student might hurt himself/herself but

thankfully that didnt happen.
