Emergency help about reflective diary writing?

We Answered:

In the morning, I did literacy. I worked with the individual child 'J' reading time which consisted of words with pictures. Some pictures and words she couldn't understand and at that time she needed my support.
For the example : the word is : LOOK and the picture sign is : face with hand.
The child said the picture showed sick people (cold and cough).
So she couldn't understand the. That time I explained the correct correlation of the picture and word.
Next, I supervised and I managed the children's behaviour in assembly time.

During break time, the teacher and I communicated together. This consisted of teacher and me discussing my course oriented topics and the arrangements for the lesson planning. For example: I'm doing on every Friday but the teacher has planned her Thursday's lesson. She suggested, therefore that we discuss Friday's lesson plans next week. I was happy and thanked the teacher for her support of my share of practical work with children.

Next, I did a playground duty. I supervised and noticed how the children were using equipment and objects in a safe way (especially the water playing). One child wanted to make her circle time activity. I asked her what the main thing was in her circle time? then she got the point and used a small parcel box and two coloured plastic clips and then she created a circle of girls and boys from the clips. I asked: "What about your teacher?" Suddenly she put a one clip in the centre of the box and she said that was her teacher.
In the afternoon, I did a creative task. I followed the teacher instructions and I worked with the small groups of children in their creative task which was things in the garden.

I asked the children: "If you were to go into the garden at this time what things would you see in the garden?" and the children said, leaves, flowers, plants and some wood sticks. We then created a small garden with fresh and dry leaves, flowers and plants. We also created a flower tower.

Finally, I assisted in a practical way by clearing the table, washed the painting equipment and putting away the equipment, storing it in a safe place, after which the teacher and the T.A were thanked me for my involvement and support with the children and the teacher.

I personally thought that I would have to improve my skills in child behaviour management in a classroom and playground situation for next time..
