Captions: With facilitation from Ms Esther, I took up the lead to guide and mentor class teachers in implementing differentiated learning (DL) in Language and Literacy. We start off with a Teaching and Learning session where I share on the benefits of DL in a class. Then I guided the teachers with the child observations before grouping them into the HAMALA. After that, I sit with the class teachers to plan suitable literacy activities for children based on their HAMALA. I went into the classes and facilitate teachers implementation. I meet with them every alternate week to reflect and make improvement to their planning. Then we follow-up with another Teaching and Learning session where teachers get to present their ideas with others as well as brainstorm ideas to improve the activities. I will continue with leading and mentoring the teachers in DL for other learning areas as well.

... IGP 2021 - "Fun Teachers for Active Kids" in collaborations with ActiveSG.
For the first time in my teaching years, I get to complete a full IGP projects independently with my teaching partner, Teacher Joanne. Although we faced many challenges along the way like the procedure in purchasing of resources, managing time and convincing other teachers to take part in the project, we were able to overcome it with guidance from our CP. Since it was the first time for both us, we acknowledged the challenges and learned from it. It was definitely a fun and fulfilling experienced especially when one of our activities in IGP was chosen by ActiveSG for their booth showcase during the 2021 Early Childhood Conference in October! :)

For 2 years in row I was involved in the K2 Virtual Graduations. My greatest achievement is where I was able to move from my comfort zone of just teaching a class to trying something new. Independently learned how to use the video camera to captured the perfect shots of the graduation skits as well as learned editing skills with green screens. I was able to accomplished such challenging task through many different exposure to centre's  projects given by my CP like National Day Celebrations and Racial Harmony Day.

... is in creating an innovative and creative learning environment. I enjoyed watching children getting active and moving as it shows how confident they are. Hence, I introduces freeze game and counting game in between lesson, during transitioning. This helps children to refresh their creative mind. I also placed numbers on the floor as form of hopscotch game to get children 'hopping' their way to the toilet. This strategy helps me in the classroom management whereby children do not have to 'boringly' walk to the toilet or rush their way there.

... is in planning lesson to meet the diverse needs of children. I believed that children learn better when they are with their friends. The power of peer learning get children to encourage one another to make decision together and come out with solutions in solving their problems. Children can be observed looking very satisfied if they are able to guide their friends. Modifying lesson plans to meet the different learning styles (VKAT) such as, hands on activities for kinestatic and tactile learners, picture cards for visual learners, and using music for auditory learners.

...is sharing experience and buddy working with other colleagues. Participated in Professional Learning Community (PLC) with other centres, shared on IBL and iTeach practices. Coach and guide teaching partners in projects such as, IGP and SSDB. Shared teaching practices such as, differentiated learning in numeracy with centre's colleagues.

So for example, here is route from K1 class to their toilet. The children will stomp like an elephant and cluck like chicken while making their way to the toilet. This motor skill activity not only teach children about animal's footprint and their movement but also help teachers with classroom management as children are more organized when transiting from one point to another.

How to play?:
Throw the first dice with the numerals, then throw the second dice that shows " one more than" or " one less than". Children will have to add up or take away the number from the first dice. For example: first dice shows 11 and second dice shows "one more than". It means one more than 11 is 12. Next, the children will throw the third dice that shows animals movement (e.g: stomp like elephant). Finally, the children will stomp like an elephant 12 times.

Fast speed car can move on battery.

The bigger the car the better.

Cars need rear wing like race car to have high speed.

For cars to move at high speed, it need a “boosters”.

Findings:

Toy car moves on battery.

The remote control is like the gear.

Some toy car does not need battery and remote control.

We like car that use remote control.

Big cars need big and more wheels (e.g: bus and truck)

Some cars has bigger wheels (e.g: racing car)

Findings:

The car can fit five people.

There is a steering wheel to turn left and right.

The gear in the car has different letter, each letter has different purpose. (e.g: Beatrice was told by teacher Faridah that when the gear is at “P” it means parking).

Teacher Faridah place a key and turn it to start the car. The car need engine to move.

Jean Piaget's constructivism theory inspired me in my teaching pedagogy. I believe that children's are constructors of their own knowledge, they produce their own knowledge through problem solving and pathing their own experiences.
As a teacher and a facilitator, I ensure that the assimilation process accommodate to the children's new experience by allowing them to articulate their thoughts and make meaning to it.
Integrity, kindness and respect is the values that I uphold and I impart it too in the children's life learning experience as this can be seen the classroom rules. Use thinking mind, respect others opinions and use kind words when conversing with one another.
My lecturer used to say, “make a child who cry and drag themselves to school, smile and skip happily back home”. I picture this everyday and see it as a challenge that I will overcome. When I did, I told myself that I had made a different to a child’s love for learning.
