Teacher students comment

I think the lesson was good because I have achieved the lesson aim which it is the most important thing.
Also, the classroom management I have seen that I can control the students by giving them clear rules that
they should follow it.

Reflection
I have taught grade one lesson about addition and I try to identify the concept in best
way I can, so I have use a lot of helpful activities that can help the students to
recognize the lesson. For example, I did drawing activities so the students will use
drawing to identify the addition by drawing cubes and count it. In addition, after the
students finishing from the drawing I let them represent their works.
Moreover, I have used a lot of strategies to manage the students. For instance I have
set the classroom management at the beginning of the class and I have done the eyes
contact with the students to stop the misbehaviors.
Furthermore, grade one students need a lot of effort to attract their attention. So when
I explain the activities I explain it more than one time because they maybe didn't
listen at the first time so I should explain it again.
In conclusion, I think that I did my best to introduce the lesson and I will work on
doing great lessons as much as I can.
