General journal of the 2nd day N TP

During the second day of being in teaching practice, I have in general divided the time of teaching between me and my MST. We have also discussed about how we are going to work to gather this year where I, as a student teacher should know all about what is expected from me, and about what is expected from my MST to do in order to help me and guide me through this new school model.

After school time, when the students leave the school, I sit with my MST and she tried to help understand what they are teaching in their new curriculum and what she is doing at the main time with the students’ learning in both Numeracy and literacy. In other words, we were discussing about the children’s level at this time and when should we start getting deep in the aims. This was because the aims of the past weeks and this week are in very low level. For example, count instead of identify this number. This is based on the assessments that my MST have done with each child individually with Numbers and colors, from here she assess their levels and chose an equal aim to start teaching them also she assessed the children to differentiate their levels of learning ability.

At the end of our negotiation, I asked the teacher to allow me teach tomorrow so we have decided have the 30 min morning circle and the numeracy lesson after breakfast time.
