This past Monday was a whole different experience. I found that the student had a lot of excess energy that made it hard for them to focus on some of the less interesting topic. This past week we choose to teach month, days, and weather. I particularly choose to instruct the students in the art of weather. I found that this week they had a harder time paying attention to what I was talking about. I think that it had something to do with the fact that it was the end of the day. The way I tried to teach this topic was through the use of cut little artistic renditions of the weather that I made in my spare time. I also decide to have them do a rain dance in order to get some activity into the lesson plan. During the rain dance, I found it very hard to keep the students attention, because they were focused more on how all of their friends were acting. One thing that I noticed when I was performing the rain dance was how the other groups became distracted by our activity. So what I was think was maybe we should try to incorporate a second game that they other group can do at the same time I think that this will help limit the distraction on the other group if both groups are doing something interesting.

I also noticed that the kids in my group were distracted by your rain dance (which was a great idea). I think two different physical activities would have worked out better.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate all the effort you are putting through to catch the kids attention. i also agree that it is good to make the kids do the same kind of activities in the same time. in that case they will pay more attention on what they are doing and they won't be so much distracted.
