EPC 2403 Teaching Practicum 2a

Journal week 2
Date: 21st Oct, 2018

Your feelings, beliefs, problems and questions

The second week of the TP I felt more Comfortable than the first week, the MCT came to
observe me my first observation, because it wasn't the first time I teach children, so I felt
confident.
I did my first observation in this week, and improve my relationship with the MST, she was
very collaborative with me, and teach me her strategy.

What you have learnt throughout the week

For this week I learned how to deal with the children, and how can I build a good relationship
between us, also I observe that there is many deferent personality for the children, that because it is
the first time for me set with this big number of the children.
I try to deal with the Trouble and the hyperactive children, and I observe that this children when shout
on and punish them they hates, so, I use the movement method with them, there in two hyperactive
children in the class, and I told them that you are the my helper in the class, so when they busy with
some thing and start to move during the circle time I ask them to bring the small white board, also I
let them to set in the front. “In school, they should be put in the front row rather than the rear so that
they can attend better to the teacher.” (Lambert, 1989).

School Experiences
The important thing I learned in this week to be kindness with the children more than serious, I
observe that the MST shouting too much and the children use to that, but I deal with them kindness,
so when I shout they feel that they did something wrong. Also this way make children trust their
teacher.
