Today (Wednesday) I taught my first lesson! I taught Math and English in the
Primary 2 classroom today. I thought my math lesson went pretty well
considering I am still getting to know my students, the curriculum and their
prior knowledge. I was focusing on
fraction names, like one-quarter ect.
I called up groups of students and had the rest of the class make
fractions out of the students based on how many of the group were girls and how
many were boys. My students really
responded to this. After
students worked individually to draw different fractions and identifying
them. The tools my students
are used to working with are slates, workbooks and the chalk-board.
My English lesson didn’t go as well. I was less prepared, because I wasn’t
really sure what I was going to do before I left on Tuesday, but I was able to
plan during break. After the
lesson I really realized how much I am going to learn about teaching ELL
students while in Uganda. For all
of my students their 1st language is Lhukonzo. They are all learning English at
school.
I received support from both Madam Pamela and Madam Ziporah
before during and after my lesson.
The highlight of my day was my students. I have a lot of fun with the P2 students, they wrote me a bunch of notes telling me how excited they are that I am joining their school. Here are a few:
