Module 5:Curriculum and Planning

This is the 4th week and first observation in the Grade 2 level. The first thing I do was to introduce myself at the pupils and to the teacher. With the new setting, there were new faces to familiarize myself with, new teacher to collaborate with, and a new environment to adapt to. Introducing myself to the pupils helped me create a relationship and a sense of familiarity. It was important for them to understand that I am there to help and assist them to learn and grow. Likewise, introducing myself to the teacher was essential in building a collaborative connection and ensuring that we worked well together. Adapting to a new set of students, teacher, and an unfamiliar environment may be both exciting as well as challenging. However, I am willing to embark on this new experience with an open mind, eager to learn and grow alongside the pupils. Each new day provides possibilities to strengthen relationships, gain insights, and positively impact classroom dynamics.

As I continue my observation in Grade 2, I am looking forward to immersing myself in the active learning environment and making a significant contribution to the children's educational journey.
