 In 9th of November, The teacher is well organized about her classroom every morning while she is in the school she organized and put some activities for the children and they can play anytime they want without wasting their time, also  they discuss with her colleagues about planning. In addition what I really shocked about the two teachers Arabic and English they teaching the children at the same time but different language. However I delighted about my teachers Arabic and English they really helped me a lot to know what the children and what their planning for the whole week also they show me some different kind do activities and they also told me why they doing it why it’s helpful for the kids. I liked the most about my mentor teaching strategy‘s class every morning they doing an a huge circle with all children to discuss about what they did yesterday and today what they will talk about or what activities they will take also the teacher take the children’s money to buy some food .furthermore about my mentor strategy in discipline to the children that when the children making an bad behavior or talking during the class the teacher will make the child and take his own picture and put it in they  have green , yellow and red if the child is in  the green already  he will become  in yellow or she will let the child sit alone for a whole 5 minutes.
