also, a good person who treats us.

Extension Ideas:

I was glad to be observed my children act as they in real situation, I saw some children like Saeed he pretends crying action because he has a stomach pain. Moreover, I saw the
Fatima who pretend nurses character act as she writes patient names in papers its look as scribble.
Before I implement this activity, I think my children will dont act as hospital employees I think they will just playing with materials but what I saw is completely change my mind
because they show me they really understand the role for each character we have been studied.
Furthermore, I observed the children develop their fine and motor skills when they use their hand and arm to take materials, social and emotion when they interact with other
children and they celebrate together, language skills when they learn and use new vocabulary from listen to another student.

I might in next lesson to involved different department in hospital role play area. For example, space for dentist and other space for optometrist also a space of veterinary.

4- Demonstrate number 2?
5- Demonstrate number1?
- I evaluate children by observing their skills through they are doing the activity and I will document their
work by recording video and take pictures to follow their learning progress.

Extension Ideas:

I was proud of my children because I observe them create their one movement. For example, Mariam was show number 2 by closing her eyes two times. Also, I saw Mohamed
represent number 5 by raising his hand five times, which make me believe that each child has her own movement. Furthermore, I was proud to saw my kids get a math concept such
as one to one corresponding by doing a number of action that has the same concept of number and counting skills.
In my view, I believe that movement and musical lesson is necessary for children because this is a success way to develop their fine and motor skills.

In next time if I had chance to implement this lesson I will make it better, interesting and motivation so, in next time I will provide a monkey animal dresses, doctor clothes and regular
clothing for mum and I will children group by group to preferment the five little monkeys song and singing it.

answer my questions.

-

- I will play five instruments which drum, maraca, and xylophone.


- I will play other the instrument, and the process is repeated until all the
instruments have been played and identified.
- Each child has one instrument.
- I will give each child one instrument.
- Listen to direction instructions.

- I will explain for each child what we were going to do with this instrument.

Me: Each of child came and took one instrument and go back to your place to be read
for enjoyable activity.
- I will hang the poster of graphic scores on board, and I will explain it.
Me: look at graphics scores it includes three colores are red, yellow and blue each of
them means one of the instrument, for example, the blue refer drum, yellow refer
maracas, and red indicate xylophone. So, when you see the color that refers you the
instrument you have to play it for each block.

and go back to their place.

Me: Do you love the acctivity? Do you had some fun? You reall try your best to follow
thr pattern.

- They return instrument back and go back to their place.


Reflections:
- I will ask children questions to know what they have learned from
this lesson.
Me: how can tell me what the instrument we take today? What do you think which
instrument has a low sound? And which one has the highest sound?

- I evaluate children by observing their skills through they are doing


the activity and I will document their work by recording video and
take pictures to follow their learning progress. - The children will answer my question and evaluate the
instrument sound.
Extension Ideas:
I observe my children were happy to play with the instrument. Moreover, I saw my kids develop the VAK learning styles, for example, they will develop auditory skills by
hearing the music beat and instrument sound also, they support visual aspect by watching a music instrument. Furthermore, they improve by using kinesthetic their hand and
arm to beat the instrument and hold it.

I may increase the range of instruments used in this activity. Also, I may for next lesson let children to create their own pattern.
