Quotes in class
The time has never been more ready for systematic change than right now,and we have never had better tools to achieve this level of creative disobedience,to successfully prepare our children for the big challenge that lie ahead. It might be uncomfortable and take a bot of work, but our future depends on this radical change in order to survive
(Andrea Kuszewski)
-This statement means that we must be able to think out of the box and think creatively to create a work.
Moreover , in class we were to work in groups to find solutions to this problem:

First day: observe the students see who can be more easy to connect and those who have more issues. The session will be conducted for four hours every one hour break. First get the class pumped up. This children are from Syrian.
In this session i learned that the teachers are willing to use various types of materials or technique to teach us. In terms of learning i find that i involve myself in this activities if the teachers provides gifts or put the learning session in games.and at the end of the lesson i learned that in order to be a good teacher i need to love myself first.
As a future educator i would like to gain my students trust by having an introduction of the students biodata and not immediately start the lesson. I would like to engage with the students and gain their trust before starting the session
