Tuesday

For Tuesday my observation points were these:
  • Wether or not the session has a central theme
  • the instructional words children seem to understand
  • the nature of children's target language utterances (repetition, responses, creative use, and their proportion during the session)
On Tuesday I observate Debby. This day was an unusual day because as I mentioned Hannah went on vacation. Debby was new for the group but they saw her in other groups so she wasn't completely a stranger to them like me the previous day. This day children started to play with me and they invited me in their game. I gained another friendship with Betti. She is a really cute girl but she only used two words: "yes" and "no". 
The techer used simply form of instructions and it seemed to children understood them. Debby used this sentances: 

  • Carefully!
  • Don't go under the table.
  • Tank you!
  • Come on!
Children liked to repeat "Carefully" very much. In my opinion they liked the sound of the word. Sometimes when they wanted to say no, they just shake their hands and their head. They usually use only one word. A few member of the group like Boti, Tami used short sentances but the rest of the group repeated our words only. 
Their session's theme was animals and nature. As it usual the Hungarian teacher played with them and after that Debby make them to sit in a circle in the carpet. Then they sing the song of Everybody sit down on the floor. After this when everybody took a seat and Debby tought the a ryme:

"Who can find their lap? Tap, tap, tap.
 Who can find their hands? Clap, clap, clap.
Who can find their fingers? Wnkle, winkle, winkle.
Who can find their nose? Beep, beep, beep.
Who can find their mouth? Cupp, cupp, cupp."

In every line they showed the mentioned bodyparts. After this session when we played Boti put his finger on my nose all the time and said beep. It was really funny and we laughed a lot. Back to the original theme after the ryme they played a game. When Debby said tree, children had to stand up and when she said grass, they needed to crouches. 
What I realized on that they children often would like to talk to me but they rather say nothing because they cannot express themselves but they tried to act out what they wanted to say.

Collection

In this post I collected a few rhymes and songs which I liked and learnt during this semester. I'm a brave, brave mouse I am marching through the house, and I'm not afraid of anything. What about a (cat)? What? A cat? Yes, a cat. Big and fat. What about the cat? Well, except for a cat, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm a brave, brave mouse. I am marching through the house, and I'm not afraid of anything. What about a trap... that goes SNAP! Well, except for the cat and the trap I'm not afraid of anything... Oh, an Austrian went yodelling On a mountain top high When along came (a skier/  a grizzly bear/ a Jearsy cow/  a Saint Bernard/ a milky maid/  her father) interrupting his cry...

Introduction

Hello Everybody,  My name is Dorina Pus. I am from Hungary and I am almost 21 years old. I am student of ELTE-TÓK University where I learn kindergarten teaching in English. I started my studies in 2017 September. I enjoy this department because I surrended by children who are absolutely adorable. We learn a lot of interesting things and we learn how to understand children.  I made this blog to show you what can I see when I am in the kindergarten. I am going to try to show you how English teaching works in our little country. I hope you are going to enjoy this adventure as much as I do. :) There is a picture about me. I think the fact that you know how I look like made this whole thing more personal.

Thursday

Kép
Thursday is the Music day of the week and I observed the day according to the following points.  How children are seated.  Where the teacher is the length of the target language input We spent the day with Jenette. It was her first day in this building but the children loved her because she played with them playdoh and built with the boys a police station. When the session came children were seated in a circle and they sat on the chair. Jenette sat among them too. They sang the song of My teddy bear.  And after this song the sang One little finger, one little finger. Children really enjoyed it because they can show their body parts. And they learnt a lot of new words.  On fourth day children did not use English often but Jenette kept talking to them while they were playing. She used simple, short sentances too just like Debby and Hannah.
