Day 2

The document discusses different classroom transition strategies used by a teacher, including clapping, counting to ten, and finger clicking. It observes the functions and evaluates the effectiveness of each strategy. Clapping was used to move students to a new activity and was found beneficial for reinforcing positive behavior. Counting was employed after activities to allow students time to finish their work in an organized manner. Finger clicking focused students' attention on the teacher after group work. Building positive relationships with communication and support, as well as creating an energetic learning environment, are also emphasized. Transitions are deemed important for discipline, learning, and reflecting student behavior, while aiding punctuality and attitude shifts for children and keeping teachers on schedule.

Evaluate

When the teacher wants students


to move to a group work, she
clapped her hands with saying
that (now we will move to an
interesting and funny activity that
you will enjoy it).

Generally, this strategy was


beneficial, because it reinforce
positive behavior in students by
concentrating while the teacher
clapped her hands.

Most of the time the teacher use


this function to students take some
times to finish their work. For
example, after students finish their
activity, the teacher start to count
to ten in order to move on and do
something else.

I believe that this strategy tends


more to the positive way because
through this approach students
will be arranged, and the teacher
can monitor all of them.

After students finish the group


activity, the teacher flicking her
fingers in order to students put the
materials at the tables and
concentrate with her.

I think that this strategy leads to


a disciplined demeanor, and I
support it because when the
teacher flicked her fingers
students gave their attentions to
her.

Strategies for building positive relationships with children, colleagues and families:
- Communicate with families.
- Share the ideas with children, colleagues and families.
- Advice and support the children, families.
- Create a positive and energetic environment.
Questions to reflect upon:
1. Why do you think transitions are important?
Because transitions help children to be discipline, student learning depends upon
transitions, and these transitions can reflect students behavior.
2. How do they help children?
The transitions support children to be punctual and act with a good attitude during
the transitions from one activity to another.
3. How do they help the teacher?
It helps the teacher to be on the time with children and to give them the activities in
a disciplined way.
