Reflection:

Letter Nn lesson reflection

The begging went good the students know the day and the date, they are familiar of letter Nn, they know some words
begin with Nn letter, students can write letter Nn but not all of them try to write it they want to try but no time so in
next time I will give each child a white board and all of them will try to write with the teacher letter Nn, the students
behaviour is good because I used sticker for them for positive re-enforcement, the students enjoy the game for the
lines and they able to do the line because it’s easy for them, because there is a number hint for the lines, the student
enjoy the story but next time I will try to find for them printed story book to be more fun and I can ask them some
question during the story time, but next time I will play for them a letter Nn song so they can move and be more
active and they will understand by doing. Before they go to their centres I put the activity in the board and tell each
group what they did, I notice some of the students they didn’t understand what to do so next time I will let each
group to sit in their places and then show them the activity in the board and explain it for them so all of them they
can see and understand what to do.

Center 1 medium students played a game with the teacher, they have a dice with upper case letter N and lower case
letter n, they will roll the dice and they will write the letter they find in the board, students enjoy this activity
because they move around and play with the dice , but I think in next time I will improve this activity more I will
write the letters that they learned before not only Nn for example N, n, P,p,T,t IN in the dice, its will be more fun for
the students.
Center 2 medium students this group will have a Lego and they will cover the upper-case letter N with the red Lego
and they will cover the lower-case n with the blue Lego, the students enjoy this activity they learn the colors and the
upper and lower case for letter Nn, in next time I will improve this activity more they will hid the upper-case letter N
and they will write in the blank the lower-case letter n its will be more challenge for them.
Center 3: low students they have letter N and some picture with letter N they will color it and they will say each
image name, and they have to find the picture with letter N and color it, I notice this activity is too easy for grade 1
so I will develop this activity more in next time, I will let the students to use their creative and critical thinking skills,
I will let them to think and memories for something begin with Nn letter so they can draw it and write the word if
they can and if they cannot they will write only letter Nn.
Center 4: high student they have some images begin with letter N and some of the image doesn’t begin with the
letter N and they will sort them, students learned a lot in this activity they memories the name of each pictures and
they able to sort them on correct place, I will improve this activity more next time I will let the students sort the
pictures then they will try to write each picture name because they are high students.
Center 5: low student- n for nest - Cut and Paste Activity The students will Cut the parts given at the bottom of the
page and paste as per the sample picture to make a nest, students like this activity because they create something
and they enjoy it, but next time I will let them to write “nest “if they cannot I will put for them pointed word the
help them.
Center 6: high students, in this group the teacher will give the student a puzzle game they have to make the letter
N and they have the sample of the letter N to help them, students enjoyed this activity but I notice it’s hard for
them to make the puzzle because there is no hint for them, in next time I will try to make it easy for them I will but
a hint for example in each piece a number to they can put the numbers on order to make letter N
I had an extra activity for the students if they finish they will write letter Nn this activity improved the students
writing skills because they will write letter Nn many times
For the closing, I choose some students to explain and tell the others what they did in their centers, but I think the
time was tight so I next time I will try to make the closing longer for more students to have a chance to talk.
