· The ways she explains the lesson. For example: when she finishes explaining the lesson, she asks them and no one respond to her. She knew they didn’t understand the lesson ,so she explain the lesson again by acting with same of students, then when she ask them, she knew that they get the idea. Also, they have fun in the same time. Also, she draws for them and make it colorful to get their attention.

· She have sick student in the class and she check his fever every couple minutes and makes sure that he good.
· She asks students about their lunch box and she makes sure they have healthy food. Also, she lauds them for having healthy food beside of chips and chocolates.

Reflections And Comments:-

* Were you surprised or shocked about any aspect of the roles and responsibilities of the teacher?
There are sever thing I notes about her. First of all, when she is in the medial of explaining the lesson some of the students interrupt the class and say something that happens to them and she show her interest in the topic after he finish she complete the lesson like nothing happen. Also, what I like about her that when the girls go talk her she hugged them to feel secure and loveable, but with boys she don’t do that because she knew that the boys will don’t like it and they will fell shy. Also, she has sick student, she check his fever every couple minutes and makes sure that he good. Finally, in her break some student from other classes come to see her and greet her and when I ask who they are she tell me that they are last year’s student, so this prove that she is loveable teacher.

* What did you learn about being a teacher?

From this observation I learn many things about teachers and teaching. First, that teacher should have eye contact with each student. Also, have multiple methods for teaching and explaining the lesson such as: repeating, acting and drawing. Besides that she has to listen to her students and show her interest in their topics. Moreover she has to treat all students the same way. Also, she has to use breaks to make activities. Also, observe students if they understanding the lesson or not and are they get bored, if they then she should change the way of explaining. Finally, I think teacher should like being teacher, so he can do his job in perfect way. Also, when students feel that their teacher likes the subject they also will like the subject.
