Reflection:

I taught literacy lesson for 1A grade 1, I read for them the very hungry
caterpillar story and I asked them some question during the story also at
the end of the story, the students was quit and they listen to the story
they enjoy next time I will improve my begging in this lesson I will let
the students to retell the story when we finish reading it, for the centers I
had 5 centers Canter 1: For the master students have a worksheet with
the fruit pictures and they will try to write each fruit name they enjoy
this activity and them improve their writing in next time I will improve
this activity and make it more challenges and fun for the students, I will
let them to think of any fruit from the story and draw it, Canter 2:
development: students put the days of the week on order the some of the
students know the ordering of the days of the week but some of them
they didn’t know, in next time I will give them hit I will but for them the
story and they can check the days of the week in the story, Canter 3:
development students: students put the caterpillar life circle on order the
