Shapes! That was first word on Rattanin's powerpoint slides on the 1st lesson at RESL. When we went down to Little Wings Taman Jurong on the 7th of April 2011 at 3.00pm for our 1 hour lesson from 1500-1600, we were anxiously anticipating meeting the children and teachers at the Little Wings kindergarden.
Now that it is over, I can definitely say that it was, overall, a great lesson for all 5 of us, and i sure hope for the children as well! I felt that the all the children were very different and unique individuals. Some were very chatty and friendly while others were more reserved and preferred to talk among their friends. However, everyone was eager to draw and share! One thing that struck me especially what reiterated by Mrs Lim was that our team was very eager to help one another. We were all trying to add on to what each other we saying as we all wanted to make sure they understood what we were trying to teach them. I definitely helped that the children were extremely cooperative and attentive, as we feared that we would not be able to hold their attention. This enabled us to get alot of teaching done, but this is also partially because Rattanin's slides were very cute and colourful. It was so great to see the children with such big smiles and such laughter as they went through our lesson.
There are many ways for us to improve and I hope that we will be able to have an even more fruitful lesson on the 2nd lesson on the 14th of April. What I will be striving for in the next lesson is to be able to remember the names of the children so that much more meaningful interaction with them. As of now, I'm contented with running through in my mind the sweet memories of what I learnt more about...Shapes!
