Warm-up

Monica started the class with the song called ¨How are you today¨ to do that, she use three pictures: happy, angry and sad, then she motivated the students to sing the song but when they said ¨happy¨ they had to move to the happy face, so on.

 

Presentation

To present the topic the teacher Monica use a house which she and students had to complete with the days of the week, to do that, she asked for a volunteer who had to choose a color card from the board which in the other side had the name of one day of the week, when the students had already take it, he and the class had to say which was that day of the week, then he had to put in the correct order in the house, so they did it with all the days of the week. After that, she told the students that Wednesday was between Tuesday and Thursday, and so with the others, and at the end she suggest the students to spell each word.

All in all, the activities did it by the teacher Monica were fantastic because all of them worked well, and she was able to control the students and modeled all the activities, excellent job teacher MONICA.

Practice

The teacher Gisselt as a first practice use a calendar which was on the board, to do that, she used the days of the week with different colors, then she suggested the students to told her the correct order, then she put it on the calendar, when they had already finished the calendar, she motivated students to said the days, colors and spelling. After that, she use a bag with all the days of one month which were with different colors, then she passed each student to took a number from the bag, when he or she had already take it, he or she had to say the number and the color and put it on the correct place in the calendar, the teacher did it with the whole days.

As a second practice Gisselt showed the students a train which had the days of the week, first she explained how to do it, and then she told them to do the same, so she gave each of them a set which had: the days of the week like a wagon, a bond paper and glue, to do it. When they were working on it, I noticed that some of them finished really faster; however, three of them who in the early childhood did not. This happen because kids when they become older they are able to do whatever activity much faster than before because they throw the years are going to develop the kinesthetic abilities.

In the last practice she did a boxes activity. The boxes had the different days of the week, to do that she asked for a volunteer who had to throw a ball on the box that had the correct day that the teacher said. When the students did not get correct box the teacher and students helped each others, saying, is this the correct day?

All in all, the teacher Gisselt did all the activities in the proper way, she was able to control everything when she noticed that the students did not understand or when they did not pay attention. Great job teacher GISSELT

Then the turn of the teacher Cristella arrived, she as a first activity use cards with different number, so asked them what number is this?, what color is this? After that, she suggest the students to closed their eyes while she changed the different days of the week, then she asked for a volunteer who had to put in the correct order.

As a last activity, she did an activity with clay, she gave each student a page with the name of one day, and clay to painted, and then they had to say what day they had and what color it was.

All in all, the teacher Cristela use great activities; however, some students did not pay attention to the first activity because they were moving around playing each others, but the second activity worked well because they were motivated to do more, but the time was not enough to finished. Great job Cristela
