Reflection:

This lesson was for grade 1 B English lesson the outcome is Listen and respond appropriately to peers and adults,
Recognize and identify each grapheme, write correctly formed letters and words moving from left to right, Express
own ideas using familiar words and set phrases Letter Mm. The lesson was good and I achieved my goals I finish my
lesson on the time and my voice was clear all the students able to listen for the lesson, first of all I review the
calendar for the students they know the day and the date, the students already know the letter Mm they are familiar
with it, I show the students how to write letter Mm then I choose some students to write it in the board, I notice all
the students want to write the letter so in next time I will give each student a board and they will write the letter Mm
and raise it so I can see all if them how they write, and all of them they will be involved, I show the students some
pictures begin with letter M, and ask them some question for example “ what the monkey eats?” they know that the
monkey eats banana, also I asked them the banana healthy food or unhealthy food?, but in next time before I show
them the pictures begin with letter M I will ask the to think of something begin with letter Mm in this way the
students will use their critical thinking and its will be more challenge, and we played a fun game one of the students
they wear the mask for the monkey and he\she eats the banana and the others students count how many bananas does
the monkey eat and write the number on the board, in next time for this activity I will bring a real Bananas so the
students can touch it, smell it and eat it later on the break time, for the class management the students was listing to
the instructions but some of them bothers the other students, in next time I will put an X red sign if someone did a
bad behavior I will write his\her name in the X sign, for group one activity students blend the letter to make a word
and then they write the word that they blend it in this activity the students enjoy and they used their critical thinking
and know the letters to make the word in next time I will improve this activity I will let the students to draw the
word for example they have “moon” so they will draw the moon, for group two students have alphabet worksheets
they color the letter M and find letter M and write letter M and color the Moon, the students enjoy this activity and
they learn many thinks such as coloring and writing and make a lines, group three they did an craft for the monkey,
this group enjoy to doing the craft because the cup and paste, but in next time I will let them to color the letter M and
the monkey to be more fun for them, group four, students will have work sheet “monkey maze “they make a line to
help the monkey to find banana, this activity was challenges for the students they used this critical thinking, in next
time I will improve this activity more for the students I will let them to try to write “ banana” and “monkey”, for
group 5 and they had the same worksheet they write the letter M upper case and letter m lower case, in this activity
the students improve their writing skills and learn more to write letter Mm, in next time I will improve this activity
more foe the students to be more fun to enjoy it, I will give the students a playdough to make letter M upper case and
letter m lower case, in this way they will enjoy the activity more, for the extra activity if the students finish I gave
them extra activity they color the monkey and the picture has numbers each number with a specific color the
students enjoy this activity and they learn the numbers and the colors name in next time I will improve this activity
more for the students I will let them to use the water color the mix them together, they will be excited when they mix
the color together to make a new color, for the closing I review the names begin with letter M with them, in next
time I will improve the closing more, I will ask them “ how can remember some words we learned begin with letter
Mm” and I will let them to remember and tell me.
