This class was in charge of Raul and Juan, they had taught a class already doing a good work so this should have been easy for them. They arranged the classroom in a great way they even hung some circles on the ceiling, here are some pictures of the classroom.
The firs one to pass was Raul, last time Raul had kind of a difficult time making the students pay attention to him and also maintaining the discipline in the class however, that did not happen this time, all the students were calm and payed attention to him from the very beginning. He begun the class with the usual song and some different movements, kids loved this activity. Then with the name tags a review of vocabulary was done, the name tags had a picture of something that had already been studied so the students had to say the name of the object that was in the picture.
Next was the presentation of their topic, in other words actions, Raul created a book with big images of actions and presented to the students, whenever presenting an action, Raul executed that actions, also he made the students do the actions that was being presented. This activity was awesome because besides presenting actions Raul made the students relate the name of the actions with the actions itself that is something that they already know, so they could remember in an easy way those actions.
Next was Juan`s turn, for the practice he started with a game in which the students had to throw a circle to certain cones, which had pictures of actions, whenever Juan said the name of an action, someone had to pick up a circle and throw it to the cone, this made the student practice the name of the actions.
For the second activity he made a big circle and started moving around while performing the activities that he said, this made the children very energetic, this was the best moment to made them learn, they were doing the actions at different pace and order so paying attention was mandatory.
For last activity he, used a hat to do a variation of the hot potato, while playing music the students were passing a hat, when the music stopped the one who had the hat was told to do an action that they had studied.
Overall I think that they did and excellent job, I really liked their panning, and I would keep everything for another class. And I really want to congratulate both of them for having an awesome class.
Hi luis!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like what you say about Raul and Juan’s class. They did a very good job because they designed a very kinesthetic class which is something that kids love. I also loved the part in which Juan had the kids in a circle singing a song that mimic the action verbs that they were teaching in this class. This was a very significant activity for them. Now, I am completely sure that kids are very musical; they love music a lot and this is a good way to teach them anything and make it fun, simple and extremely meaningful for children!!!!
