Hi everyone my name is Melissa.heart

I am from Mpumalanga and I work at Laerskool Kragbron since 2018, I love my job and can't wait to have my own class, I love the foundation phase because you help form and create their lives, this is also the most important phase in their childhood. I am passionate about my work and my own online business.

I feel good about this module and I hope this module will learn me lots of new things  and that I will enjoy this module.

I hope that I will understand all of the modules and have a open mind regarding this module, like in Isaiah 41:10 I will not fear because God is with me and will guide me as long as I do my part.

Hello fellow students,smiley

What possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities? / Why were some learners uncomfortable?

  • Self-esteem and confidence- Dance is social and visual. This is where I as teacher must be able to sing and dance in front of children this is not difficult for me because I know they won't judge or look at me in a strange way.
  • If the song is not familiar with the kids, they may struggle.
  • You will never know about their cultural background (may be against their cultural beliefs).
  • Not everyone likes dancing and singing it is not fun for some children.

 

Can you think of ways to address these issues in future? What will you change?

  • Children who do not like do dance can have other roles. In a concert or play these learners can be used as props like trees or flowers. Also - instead of dancing they can rather use an instrument for background music. It is important not to exclude others.
  • It would be advised to use music learners are familiar with.
  • The activity should always be age appropriate.
  • Teachers must be aware of learners’ cultural beliefs and respect them.

 

How can we accommodate diverse learner profiles in our classrooms? What must we beware of ?

  •  In a case of diverse learners, learners must always be accommodated by participating in activities that fits to their beliefs where everyone is involved.
  • Always compromise.
  • Try to use songs that are familiar.
  • Don't let learners feel ashamed or ashamed.

Thank you 

Enjoy your week !
