    The document describes three observation tasks of differentiated learning centers in a classroom: 1. The first center focused on identifying vowel sounds and word families. Students were grouped by ability levels and engaged in activities appropriate to their level, like a word wheel, puzzle, or play dough. 2. The second center identified three students with special educational needs (SEN) and the types of support provided, such as individualized instruction, movement breaks, and praise. 3. The third center used music and movement to teach students about the four seasons, developing skills like pitch, rhythm, memory, and physical interpretation.

    Reflections on Observation Task 2: Identifying Children with Special Educational Needs


    (SEN)

    1. What is the school policy for inclusion for SEN students in the school?
    -The school has a lot of special need student for different type like (ADHD, Autism, visual,
    Down syndrome) they support the by school communicates with parents to monitor their
    children status through communication with Dr. during the classroom teachers care about
    them and use activities suit them.

    2. What accommodations were made for the identified SEN students in the
    classroom?
    -Teacher use different activities for them but it are appropriate and relate with the lesson.
    For example use play dough instead of writing the letter and using activities that include
    movement.

    3. Was there any assistive technology, other equipment or materials used with the
    identified SEN students? If yes, please describe the equipment that was used and
    what it was used for.
    -Yes, teacher provides some material in the classroom like puzzle, marker to write in the
    board, puppet for them. They can use it and play with it in free time or during the lesson.

    hand for him.

    yes, please explain their role and what they did with the identified SEN student.
    -Yes, one teacher shes supervises the students with special needs. If the general teacher
    observes the special need student in her class make mistake and she cannot deal with
    them so the regular teacher and teacher who care or administrator about the SN student
    communicate with each other.

    6. Do you think that SEN students should be included in the classroom or taught in
    class specifically for SEN students? Why / Why not?
    -I think that SN student who has improvement in different skills should include in regular

    Reflections on Observation Task 3: Supporting Learning through the Performing Arts:


    Music and Movement
    Read the questions below and choose one to answer
    1. The creative arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and

    that questions can have more than one answer. One of the large lessons kids can
    learn from practicing creative arts is that there are many ways to see and interpret
    the world. In your opinion, why is this important and what impact does this have on
    education?
    -The arts provide challenges to students of all levels and students learn to become
    sustained, self-directed learners.
    2. Creative thinking and reasoning have been identified and highlighted as an essential
    twenty-first-century skill by many business, education, community and government
    leaders. In your opinion, do you think that this is an important skill for children to
    learn? Why or why not.
    -

    Children faced daily opportunities to solve problems and to exercise their own
    independent judgment when they have the opportunity to explore the world safely.
    These problems may involve physical challenges, and issues of social relationships, or
    understand how things work, and often seem simple to us but provide great
    opportunities to practice critical thinking skills

    3. Some people view creative arts education as a luxury and do not help with the
    building blocks of child development. In your opinion, what are the benefits for
    children who are engaged in creative arts in school?
    - Student learns to observe and describe, analyze and interpret. Learns to think creatively, with an open mind
    and practices problem-solving skills, critical-thinking skills, dance, music, theater and art-making skills,
    language and vocabulary of the arts.
