Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague):

I am salama, I observed Mariam Helal at grade 1 where she was teaching a science class introducing a lesson titled
“All Kinds of Animals,” through which she was presenting four animals as mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
Conducing a formal observation is a wonderful act where in fact I learn from others and here in this lesson, I felt
happy to see another student teacher explains a lesson and that encouraged me to imitate the students teacher.

After the lesson I was so happy on providing some advice to Mariam about her performance in the lesson and really
that made me full of happiness and satisfaction when I give a hand to others to do well the next time.

Mariam read my comments and assessment with a friendly way and she agreed on my assessment and one of the.
Everything went well and we both were so happy with such experience and even Mariam was greatly happy and
wished that happens again and again.

Please share feedback immediately following the observation once the forms are completed.
