Trying to catch my session while suffering pain and doing some examination at my doctor which i couldn't find another appointment till after 2 weeks. All that made me lost last session let my son sent an apologize just few minutes before session because i thought that i could go. That was my last Tuesday, staying home for all my eid holiday helped me but not much . Now back to school as a student reading other blogs trying to catch what i missed but noway, who was absent will never be like who was present and that is why i am trying to do my best to be present all sessions even when it is very hard.

reflective essay #5 "traffic jam"

last Tuesday, nobody didn't go through traffic jam for at least an hour i think i hardly  passed the rest of the week including week end trying to sleep but i couldn't feeling that i didn't blog this week what do you think are we going to addict blogging or what?..............i can't stop thinking of our drawing activity as i used to draw but now just scratching on a piece of  paper well that activity remind me why i stopped drawing? may be our busy, fast day?............any way i like the activity and thinking of how to do it with my students which class does it fit with science or chemistry?.....the primary or the secondary? i am still looking for good ideas to start with.
about using technology inside the class  i am already doing this most of my classes with a video or power point  asking my students to investigate and conclude, but using a tool to interact with the whole class not yet i am thinking now of using blogger with elder classes and good night for now it is 2.30 am i have to walk early and i posted the video before.
thanks Dr. Joyanne

Reflective learning journal#4 Joy in our class

The last session was really different and motivated me and others, the activity Dr,Joyanne choose made us involve inside the group smoothly and think deeper and deeper to create a way to interact in class without speaking , being a student and a teacher was great to get the feeling of our students.I believe in group work but that way was new and motivate us to forget our busy exhausted day and swim with others ideas trying to get the best and that is made the" aha" moment gave me two important facts, first teaching will not stop improving, student centered learning make teaching and learning easier and funnier, second  to be a good teacher I have to search for the new challenging activities, prepare,plan very well for the lesson.
Actually there was another fact what ever you achieve you can do better, and this was from the activity of putting our hands on the wall trying to reach up and up as much as we can, all these things happend during the class give me new ideas I can do with my students to motivate them to work  while they are happy.
Thanks to Dr.Joyanne

Reflective essay#3 how to motivate unmotivated child

I think each Tuesday is going to be a special day,staying all night to finish homework, going to work, then run to class. Our instructor noticed that there was something wrong or different with most of us I LIKE  when she asked us to breath deeply and  drop all our problems outside the class and this made me wonder how can I use this in my class to make my students feel safe and comfortable and welling to learn.There another message for me to organize my time between work, home, and the course because in all this responsibilities I forgot about task due to last session only when Hoda asked me did you finish homework? and you know the rest panicking, stay all night searching on net,etc....I feel safe only when I found my hard copy in my hand, then I walk to my class comfortable because I used to be a good student.This made me got the feeling that when I asked my student to do a task on time, this make them under stress but also make them learn how to deal with life issue , life is not easy they are going to face it any way. I noticed a girl in year 6 of my students, "she likes to be treated as a queen, don't ask her for a homework or anything " one of my colleagues who taught her before told me so, she came to my class with nothing of her stuff I ignore what I know about her started to ask her with others then I said oh no! I heard that you are good student how come you forgot your science stuff I took their names to let them feel that I am going to take an action that they will not like.
Next class when I entered she ran to me with a complete homework, and all science stuff I was surprised, that was a quick respond then I wondered if I choose the right door to enter this time which I re in my article because I really adore the idea and I believe in it "choose the right door to enter to your student to motivate them" and you can share this article http://www.empoweringparents.com/Unmotivated-Child-6-Ways-to-Get-Your-Child-Going.php and the link itself is very useful one you can sign up and it will send a weekly useful articl related to teeager's problems.
Hope you like it see next week inshaallah

Helping Students Motivate Themselves: Practical Answers To Classroom Challenges

reflective essay#2 Motivation

the last class was special one to me first I spent three hours to reach the AUC after a very busy working day thanks for my teacher who understood the traffic jam that I have been through and gave me a break to pray
and have a drink which I couldn't have one because the cafeteria was closed anyway I manged the situation
and tried to catch a part of the discussion   was carrying on. Actually talking within the group discussing the questions made our last session  very effective one, it make share our opinion together add new ideas to each other which in another word we learn from each other and this is mean we are still student and it is a fact each day you learn something new  is  a real day. The 8 questions were challenging, presenting different kind of students we can  witness during our work, trying to get the answer, listening to my colleagues sometimes send me messages or ideas I never think about it, and that is make it again clear in front of my eyes that is there is a little student still growing in our hearts.
Motivation itself looks like a star twinkling up in the sky and everybody to reach, and that is make us or our students compete  with each other to reach the point that he\she dreaming to touch
community-based learning project discussions, made the ideas glow in our minds, I can tell that at the first  I didn't find the idea but later I found  more than one, It was a very good idea from our instructor to make a pair discussion, then present all the ideas, add or modify some points to each project.This made us have a rich space to work in it . I am really worried about the presentation we are going to present because  ..... let me tell you a secret that is I feel somehow of shyness  to speak in front of all of you so make me a favor be absent on that day and I am going to invite all of you for whatever you want.

Thank you in advance and don't tell our instructor please.
