On returning to alert Level 2. 5 not many of my students have come back to school. In saying that I am pleased that the children in my inquiry group have all been coming to school everyday. Student:TT and student TH joined the Google Meet Team sessions as well as accessed learning on the Class Site completing the lessons every single day. With their parents support at home they completed majority of the tasks on the slide deck as well as shared their learning by blogging their work. Student IM is very shy and found the meeting sessions overwhelming however completed all the learning tasks.
Over the past few weeks:
- I have been consistently using Gwenneth Phillips prompt by keeping it on my table so that when students made an error I could support them using that prompt.
- The students are beginning to make connections and this noticing, fixing, self correcting is used in other learning areas as well for eg, maths, writing, engage programme games,
-The voice recording of the lesson is a terrific idea as I can replay the lesson and plan accordingly.
- I have to write down the error made on a piece paper really quickly because at one stage as the child was checking I forgot the error was made by the child- so that did't go as expected however as he checked along with me he managed to self correct himself.
- The children have made progress in their reading as well as have confidence in themselves to have a go. give it a try before asking for help.
- I realised the importance of giving students time to work out the unknown word(waiting time). Students would look at me and I would quickly pretend to be busy doing something else. They had to think of strategies to read the unknown word- attempt themselves and most of the time they got it right. This in turn boosted their confidence and self esteem. It also. made me realise not to jump in too quickly to help the.
Next Steps:
