Reflection Week 1

 EPC2901 – Teaching Practice 2b

 Wednesday 21, Oct 2015, this was a first week in UM Ghafa Kindergarten. In this day, my MST (Ms.Manda) was absent so I stayed with the kids in the classroom with the Arab teacher, I got to know the kids.

One of the children named “Salem” he suffers from attention behavior, he want all the teacher and people around him to pay attention only to him. When he sees that the teacher takes care of children he asked her to leave them. Also during the morning circle when the teacher begins to speak he come to the middle or the sitting next to the teacher.

In this day, I sat with the kids in the morning circle and I read to them a story and everything was okay, but when I sent the kids to the centers, Salem was trying to keep me sit next to him but I had to help the children in the centers. The Arabic teacher told me to try to ignore him and I did that, he anger and cry to attract my attention, and I keep ignore him.
He stop crying and he takes off his trousers to attracts my attention, the quick reaction from me the and from the Arab teacher  that we ran towards him to raise his trousers and I don’t  let the rest of the kids see it. He was very happy because it attracts our attention, but the teacher preventing him from playing outside with children during play time and she let him sitting next to her. 

She told him that will be your punishment every day if you continue to do that. Next time I'll try that I improved my dealings with the kids in a positive way.
