Observatio
ns

There were a lot of active different strategies applied in class, firstly when
they enter the class they have to sing a song while they enter by linning
up. Then before beginning the class, they sing hello song. Their lesson
was about yellow color, I notice that the teacher ask each student to
bring with them a yellow materials, anything, a toy, paper, pen etc. so it
is a nice method to link the lesson with the real things to make it
memorable.
Also whenever she reminding the students the rules, like set down or
raise your hand, she used gestures her body language, as they are kids

and second language , it is easier for them to understand.

The seating arrangement is every time changed, once on their tables,
and once on the carpet at the back, in this way she move the students
and get them excited, as well when they transfer from the group to the
carpet , each group has a special way, some of them jump, and some
other clap their hands and so on.
She aways use the strategy of student teacher, firstly the teacher ask,
then the students has to play the role of the teacher and ask.
