Teaching Reflection

This activity class fully mobilized the enthusiasm of children. The interaction between teachers and children was very good. Through this activity, children gained independence in emotions, attitudes, abilities, knowledge, skills, etc. development. Throughout the entire activity, the children's experience level, learning characteristics and personality characteristics can be used as the starting point to promote the maximum development of the children with minimal support.

In general, the effect of this activity is good. In future activities, you should improve your ability to adapt to events, control the classroom, and adjust teaching at any time according to the needs of children. Strive to achieve good teaching results.
