LESSON OBSERVATION 2

 The lesson starts when teacher says "Let's talk about fruits". First, she ask about the color of the fruits, but instead of saying the color, students mention the name of the fruit. It might have been better if teacher had first asked for the name of the fruit and then the color. This way, it wouldn't have been confusing at the beginning. Afterward, teacher shows the fruits and says their colors, and students repeat after her. For example: "A red apple!". Sometimes the teacher says the Polish of the sentence and explains the activity in Polish. Given the age group, this is something that can be done.

Next, teacher blindfolds students and asks them the color of the fruit they are holding. It would have been better to first ask which fruit it is and then the color. 

Afterward, teacher conducts a warm-up activity. She asks students to stand up, clap their hands, spin around and jump. Then, she asks the students to raise their fingers in the air and draw numbers from 1 to 6 with their fingers. Given the age group, doing this before the moving on to the next activity is quite effective in keeping their attention on the lesson.

After the warm-up activity, teacher shows the students flashcards with multiple fruits and asks how many fruits there are, and they count the fruits together. It is clear that the warm-up activity related to numbers was a preparation for this activity. Then, she teaches the students the question "How many...?" and then plays a song about it. Before the lyrics began, the teacher gave the class a heads-up by indicating with her hands how many apples they would be counting both orally and visually during the song activity. For instance, the teacher used the pause in the lyrics between "how many apples for me?" and "4" to remind the students that they would be counting four apples in the song. She also demonstrated this with her hand. Additionally, before the next fruit-related lyrics began, the teacher announced which fruit they would be singing.

Aside from the small comments I made, I think the lesson was well-planned, and the transitions between the activities were smooth.
