About me, I have already taken this professor before, this is my second class, please use my information, I was used before class
Hello everyone! My name is G, and I am an assistant teacher in a Pre-K class. I speak both Russian and Uzbek, which greatly helps me in my work. Our daycare is multilingual, and we have children in our class who speak both Russian and Uzbek. This allows us to create a comfortable environment for overcoming language barriers, making the children feel more confident in communication and expressing their emotions. This is my first year working, and despite that, I already have a collection of cherished memories. The brightest memories are related to the students’ new achievements and their acquisition of new skills and abilities.
This week’s video provided me with invaluable knowledge about lesson planning and how to effectively organize information. My goal in this course, as a future teacher, is to gain knowledge about educating young learners through the use of creative curriculum and teaching strategies.
