Yes, I like her roles in class and how can she makes all students do the work and also all students quiet when she asks them to listen. Additionally she gives the class in morning different lesson and the class in the afternoon different lesson.

Summary

All teachers have different roles in his class to keep control in the classroom and easy to teach them and enjoy teaching and make sure all students understand the lesson. In teaching practice I saw Ms. Lou have a lot of roles that she told them in the first day and she encourage the students who follow the roles to keep control every day. Also she separates the high group together and have different work and the low group work with teacher.

My worry things in teaching practice




To be honest I really worried about  who will be with me in my classroom because I do not want to be alone there and it is my first time go to KG or primary school and also I do not know how this schools look like and what they have there. An other thing I worry about is that there is no teachers in my college so I should do all work by my self and complete all papers that I have. The third thing I do not know the teacher there and I should ask them a lot of questions and maybe she will be angry or nervous because of me. The last thing I worry about is what I will do there in the first day and in the last day and do I will enjoy there or not.

my excited thing in teaching practice





I would like to write about what the excited things in my teaching practice. To begin with, the most excited thing is that I want to see how the teachers deal with 20 children in the same age 4 or 5 years old. The second thing is that learn how planning the lesson and what they are do in the classroom and also what activities that teachers give children and do they enjoy do it or they bored and do not like it. The last excited thing I want to learn it is what the teachers do in classroom environment and how encourage children to do they best.
