Hi everyone, my name is Lindie Claassens, I am from a small town in Kwa-Zulu Natal called Richards Bay. A reason why I would like to become a foundation phase teacher is that I feel this is the age and stage of a child’s life that can easily be overlooked and deemed as less important, and that is the total opposite of what it is, I want to give children a good foundation and set them up with positivity towards school and learning, if the foundation is wrong all will crumble, I just want to make a little bit of a difference, but so does everyone. My passion is definitely language, I love learning languages and encouraging children to have a positive outlook on learning a second or third language.

I feel excited about LSKM 211 and a little bit anxious too as I am not sure what to expect and hope to be able to juggle everything, the start of a semester is always daunting and scary. I am not sure what to expect from this module, just hope it is fun and not as stressful.

This semester and this subject really opened my eyes. I loved it and actually a bit sad that this subject is slowly coming to an end.   What was your experience of the role of individual reflection as part of the teaching and learning process? Use the following prompts to reflect on your blogging experience and the role that individual reflection played (or not) in your teaching and learning experience this semester: ·          What did you learn from your individual reflections? What I learned from the individual reflections is more than what I expected. I knew of music in foundation phase but never extended my kn...

Study Unit 5-Lesson Planning

  This week I'm feeling slightly more optimistic. It seems as if things are starting to settle more. As the semester is nearing its end it feels a little less stressful. Although there are many other things such as assignments, examinations, and tests to finalize. The only problem at the moment -and this is a personal feeling- is that mathematics this year seems nonstop, there is no end and no help or guidance what so ever, this causes me to become negative and slightly angry and what seems to be that of incompetence and lack of effort to help students understand. Enough of my negative relationship with mathematics. I am really enjoying this subject LSKM more than I anticipated, and that makes me happy and excited to do these blogs. This is my final blog regarding the study units. It was great to do some research and work through this unit. I've learned so much and really feel strongly about incorporating music more into the foundation phase, it is too often overlooked and not ...
