Hi there! My name is Nazokat and I teach ESL for pre-K and Kindergarten kids using Montessori and STEAM methods of teaching. In my lessons, I help young learners to connect the real world with the classroom. Hands-on activities, various science experiments, playful learning, and math will make kids' learning colorful and exciting.
I studied and finished my bachelor's in International hospitality and tourism management in the Management Development Institute of Singapore in Tashkent. I have experience of working in a hotel for 3 years during my studies and after finishing university. I used to teach IELTS and general English when I was a student starting from 2011-2015 and I never thought that teaching will be my future profession. I have never thought about teaching kids and it seemed to me that teaching kids is very hard and boring unless I had my first baby boy. As he grew, I started teaching him shapes, and colors by playing. After a year or so, during my maternity leave, I thought about opening my own preschool for kids and I started my small business.
This blog reflects my online teaching with preschoolers. Further, in other blogs, I share easy and tough sides to teaching kids using LMS. After quarantine time last year, the need for an online teaching mode increased considerably and I decided to try ESL with STEAM in online mode.
Tracing letters is a lot fun using pasta, magnet dots, body parts, a geoboard, and colored extra salt. These methods improve students' fine motor skills and are much more exciting than traditional tracing with a pen. Furthermore, doing some engineering for letter learning will also teach students the letters and the words which start with that letter. Thus kids are enlarging their general knowledge too.  |

We also do some science stuff in the classroom connecting them to the topic that we are learning. Science education activities provide children with opportunities to develop and practice many different skills and attributes. These include communication skills, collaborative skills, team working and perseverance, as well as analytical, reasoning and problem-solving skills. Help them expand their vocabulary by using scientific terms that are appropriate for their age group. Encourage them to extend and embed their learning through related literacy, numeracy and creative activities.

Colourful blog and engaging activities for young learners.
ОтветитьУдалитьWell, it's very challenging to engage pre-K and kindergarten by learning through technology
ОтветитьУдалитьDear Nazokat, what school do you teach at? It will be great if you share some theories or other teacher's experience why do you do exactly the vermicelli activity. Thanking you in advance.
ОтветитьУдалитьYour little students are lucky, as seen by the photos they can learn both life and academic knowledge through playing.
ОтветитьУдалитьI like your intention to teach ESL using STEAM, it's a huge benefit for young learners, even it's a little bit difficult to implement in online mode, in my opinion. Wish you luck in your endeavors!
ОтветитьУдалитьHello Nazokat! I have truly enjoyed the post with such a cute title, very colorful and interesting for our young learners. Lots of examples and pictures to help explain the topics. Well done.
