This reflection shows that as a teacher I am willing to question the effectiveness of how I do my mat times and constantly evalute myself and the methods I use to teach the children so as to achieve the desired goals. I would demonstrate the actions by using movement, changing the tone of my voice, gesture and facial expression as we read the story together. This helped me to communicate clearly to the children and can be a particularly effective way to build toddlers language competence and to help non- English speaking children with acquistion of English as a second language.
