When I enter the center today, the room was very warmth and quiet. A lot of the children didn’t come today because some of them are out sick. The first person I saw today is B1, He say Ms. Jo I turn on the light. He replies with okay. I turn it on now. Look I did it. Ms. Jo say to B1, Let go outside and open the window. Do you want to help me with it? He says yes. B1 say do this way Ms. Jo. He see’s G1 enter the classroom and say yah, yah. She is here. He rand and give her a huge hug and a smile. He looks very happy to see her. B1 have a pleasant voice when he speaks. He is helping Ms. Jo putting the chairs down on the floor. He says is this the big chair? She replies with no, this is the smallest chair. The big chair belongs to Ms. Cook. And he says why that is. She say Ms. Cook like to sit on her big chair. B1 look and say okay. The teacher demonstrates to B1 how to put the chair down and he seems to follow a direction very well. She say B1, you did a great job and he smile again. He says now we can play we can walk on the railroad right teacher. B1 is able to hold a conversation with the teacher natural. His grammar is very clear. When I observed B1, he was able to express how he feels. When the teacher ask him a question he able to reply with no problem. His speech and language skill is very clear. I think he is very advance for his age.
If I were the teacher in this classroom, my plan for tomorrow to further the development or interests of the children would be Alphabet Bingo: These activity children will learn about letters as they play a traditional game of bingo. They practices saying the alphabet, listening comprehension and lesson reinforces. By participating in this activity children will shows increasing awareness of the sounds that make up language, including the segmentation of sounds in words, and recognition of word rhyming and alliteration. This alphabet bingo game will be set up in the literacy are of the classroom. I will introduce alphabet bingo by telling the children that I went the bingo hall to play bingo game. And the material include Markers or chips for each child, sandwich baggies, a set of bingo cards labeled with upper-case letters, lower- case letter cards, upper- lower case letters, and stickers for winner. Tell the boys and girls we are playing ABC Bingo. Give each child a bingo card and set of markers. I will stay closed by the children to support and help them assisting who have difficulty.
I like your idea about alphabet bingo. when I observed the children played a bingo game with colors. I thought it was a great game too for children to play. I am so amazed with the conversations that the children have the teachers. The teachers are really helping them with their language and literacy by the conversations they hold with the children.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteIt appears that the child was interesting in railroads and possibly trains. That could be a fun direction start to expand on. You could talk about the multiple uses for trains or the different types of trains. You could start talking about transportation in general. You could talk about the construction of the train tracks. The engineers whom design them, the materials that are use, and much more.
