In this section, I included the artifacts that demonstrate the achievement of teaching competencies by presenting best works.
Curriculum Units & Lesson plan
During the teaching practice, I taught grade 4 eight science lessons; two of the lessons were fo unit speed and energy. Whereas, the other six lessons were for Types of energy unit. I learned many things such as how to make the activities based on challenging and how to overcome the previous mistakes. Those lessons gave me the chance to prove my self and to avoid making the same mistakes every time.

Teaching resources
I implemented different sets of activities in order to empower students' engagement. I used a different set of materials that aid students' cognitive development. Each lesson has different utilized tools and materials which are aligned with the learning objectives. Hence, performing would be rich and solid toward learning.

Examples of Student work
Fire flame card, Where the student glued colored paper pieces and wrote facts about thermal energy.
Light Bulb rope, where the students wrote facts about light energy and draw examples.
Students did so many nice works during the lessons. Their works make them proud of what they did. It provides opportunities to show the teacher who worked well and who needs intervention. It shows the teacher if she implemented learning across the introduced lessons. Students works' are great evidence that helps the teacher to improve her methods and strategies.
Energy types poster, where the students cut, pasted pictures and wrote information about each type.
Students in grade 4-A created a foldable which contains all forms of energy with a simple illustrations and definitions.
Pictures of classroom Dsiplays
I pasted students' works on the class wall, displays and decorated the class and the door to give students a positive atmosphere for learning. Which encourages them to produce more and to keep them engaged. I included classroom rules for discipline and general information about science to increase their knowledge.
Professional Activities
Professional activities help me to have better and rich skills. Present an initiative and responsibility model of teacher trainees. It affects my development as a teacher and increases my proficiency in the future.
