Observation on Teacher
Planning for Teaching
Ms. Yeni would always start her class through songs and dance which are related to her topic for the week. She would decorate her classroom, and put pictures depending on their theme for the week. She also knows how to get the attention of her students, which is really something that I admire about her.
Preparing lessons and materials
When preparing lessons, teachers do not really just focus on the cognitive development, but they also adjust to the needs of the students and they make sure students learn and enjoy at the same time. They also consider the interests of their students and adjust to it. For the materials, they make sure to provide concrete materials that students can use.
Teaching in class
In class, I observed that Ms. Yeni really teach her students how to be independent. She would always have concrete materials like pictures, or even objects when teaching because this will help the students to better understand the lesson. She provides a lot of experiences to her students to learn and to easily grasp chunks of information which her students really enjoy at them same time.
Measurement and Evaluation
In preschool, teachers do not really focus on the Cognitive development of students. They just provide students some art activities, simple worksheets, and role playing. These activities develop their fine and gross motor skills and after the activities, they would provide positive praises, and some rewards to make the students feel good and motivated.
