Reflection On My English Lesson

762 Words4 Pages

As a young teacher, I reflect back on my 2 prior years of teaching and surprise myself with how much I have grown as a teacher over the years. I can say that I felt like my whole first year of teaching was a “hazy” whirlwind. Yet looking back, I believe some of my “hazy” lessons came during my math block from teaching Kindergarten last year. Last year I used the math curriculum Everyday Math. Starting the year I felt very overwhelmed with the curriculum and seeked advice from a senior teacher, but still lacked understanding for myself. One of the most “hazy lessons” was a introducing ten frame lesson. We were learning how to use a ten frame by putting dot in it, and counting on. As the teacher I showed them the ten frame and put various numbers …show more content…

One of the first things I realized was the students need to have an understanding of a five frame first before moving onto to the ten frame. By introducing the five fram first, the students can visualize the top row representing five and use the count on method when the top row is full. As the teacher, I want the students to know what is a five frame, understand how to use the frame, and represent numbers on the five frame. Next, I think of a way to engage the students and “hook them from the start. To do this, I will give each table a poster board and a number. I will allow them 3 minutes to show by writing or drawing different ways to represent their number on the poster board as a group. This will allow them to get their brain thinking about numbers. Then I will introduce them to the five frame and show them how we place dots into the frame. I will use the I do, we do, you do approach. First I will pick and number and show them how to represent their number in the frame, then I will pick another number and together we will place the dots into the frame. Last, I will give the students numbers and have them represent them on their five frame mat. After checking the students mats, I will have students explain how they filled their five frame and give us their thinking. Tomlinson (2016) said “students who understand something use the skill and explain it using

    Then I went to the main lesson which I did on the white board and I started with simple two step problems and got up to the four step problems with the parentheses so they could see me do it.

    To complete this assignment, I first went online to search for fifth-grade fraction activities, with a focus on multiplication. After reviewing numerous potential activities I eventually landed on Fraction Flip-It, which is a game that allows students to create their own fractions depending on where they place the cards drawn. This was a large draw because the game could be played any number of times without students solving the same equation over and over. Once I had settled on the activity and how it would be set up, I began building a lesson around it. I wanted to make sure students had the necessary knowledge to succeed, which is why I included the pre-assessment Plicker quiz.

Although writing has never been one of my strong suits, I have learned valuable writing skills and strategies that are applicable to both the professional and academic field. Transitioning from the way I have been taught to write as a high school student has been the most challenging and influential change I have witnessed in my writing.

These are the ability to name and draw basic shapes and colours, able to count up to ten, begin to understand time and start to recognise patterns and routines. Monday’s activity, the Shape Art Mural, was chosen to allow four year olds to further their development for the milestone of naming and drawing basic shapes and colours.

    Second, I would introduce a problem that the student might find interesting and excite their interest for the challenge of solving a long division problem. Third, I would model how to work through some long division problems with the use of material scaffolding in the form of the mnemonic device and guided examples mentioned in answer 4-B. Fourth, I would use the mnemonic device as a handout, and poster on a wall, to let practice my student practice long division problems with the mnemonic device as a reminder tool. The mnemonic device could be “Dad, Mom, Sister, and Brother,” which would stand for “Divide, Multiply, Subtract, and Bring Down.” I would also model and practice the guided examples with the student on a handout.
