 : My educational philosophy 

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school

  Schools teach students different subjects and provide them with a great deal of knowledge. However, most of what students learn is forgotten afterwards. My role as a teacher is to teach them rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve their minds, so as to enable them to think for themselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men. To achieve this, I will provide my students with the tools with which they can develop creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking skills and their sense of self-worth. I will also try to keep them up-to date in order to help them keep up with the most modern technology

Teacher's reflection:

                I think the lesson is easy. The students were happy because the lesson has something related to nature. I found the lesson easy to explain. The students were participating. The only difficulty I found is that the students were not able at the beginning to differentiate between colors. They were a bit confused as it was the first time for them to learn about their names in English. However, after seeing the pictures and watching the video, it became clear for them.
