Reflection week 1

In this week when I start, my first day in Sunday, November 2, 2014 is my first visit to the Mohmmad bin Khalifa School; it was a difficult in the beginning to dealing with students in the primary school, I was also afraid of dealing with boys especially.
I meet my mentor teacher Ms. Sandra, she was very great teacher, she told me everything happens in her with kids and the best way I can follow to deal with them.
Everything was new for me; I find that really hard, I was in grade (4), children in the class ignore me I don’t know what I should be do to make children comfortable with me. Day by day during teacher giving the children activities, I was able to make them feel accepted for me.
I had a lot of hard time and faced a lot of trouble thing with children, difficult day, hard day, and the other crazy. A full week and every day I return to my home, I be really exhausting,
sometime I crying and I thing that the teaching profession is not for me and sometime I say to myself, I would not come back to the school again, but in the end I  still believe that the start with the most difficult things that makes all of the things coming in the future easy.

I faced a very difficult problem, in the Wednesday, November 5, 2014, there were two boys fighting and I came to the stopped them, what happened is one of the boys start to hit me. I really surprised, the teacher ask him to get out of the class. The problem did not end on that day because the boy who hit me, his name (Mohammed) he go to his mother and grandmother and he said to them I hit him and I caught him his clothes and I pushed him toward the wall. His mother and grandmother came to see me; I told them what happened exactly. They believe me and Mohammed’s mother requested him to apologize to me.

I am happy with the result, but I’m also sad in the same time, because I felt justly when I explained everything to the Mohammed’s family and my teacher stood by my side but I really  sad when I feel that child hates me. Thursday, November 6, 2014, the only thing is that I wished is to go back home and finish this week.

I am still optimistic and I want to keep going to get good experience.

  1. Hi Aysha,

    Is nice to write about your feeling and what happen with you in the first week but this reflection is not as what Dr.Niel wants. he wants lesson's reflection. i will explain in detail, we will explain 3 lesson in school with 3 lesson plan and he wants also to write 3 reflections after we finished explaining the lesson. I advise you to look to my blog or Alia's blog to be clear with you or to read your Assignment again.

    My regards,

  2. Hello Aysha,

    This is an interesting but sad story. As this is the most important thing that has happened to you it is fine that you write about it. To be honest with you, I am surprised that the child is still in school. In my opinion, for hitting a teacher (you) he should be suspended for a week. I am also shocked that his parents believed him at first. It is good to know that the school and the teacher - Sandra - supported you. Remember not all children are like this and remember, too, your job is not to be their friend but to teach him that hitting people (the other boy or you) is NOT acceptable. How was he punished by the school?
