Wow! Here I am on day two in Room 2, with a fantastic, vibrant class full of talented learners. The students need to be commended for their diligence and perseverance of the new systems in place and the high expectations already fostered. We have got a fantastic reading rotation in place so I will be spending the next few days ensuring that I have listened to the students reading to me so we can work on individual reading strategies. We are working on a piece of writing which we will be edited and re-edited to become a marvellous piece of material that will not make Senorita Clark fall asleep when she reads the final story! Watch this space as the students publish their stories here! On Monday we sat a numeracy assessment and Mrs B from Room 1 and I have placed the students to where they are best fitted between the two classes. (Cross grouping starts tomorrow [Wednesday]). Students will be moved around, either between the two classes and across numeracy groups as we move into different numeracy areas. I encourage you to get your child to use the links under 'literacy' as I have now installed a link to a fantastic reading resource where stories can be read aloud! This helps with tracking the text and listening to the fluency of the reader! There is also 'mystorymaker' which is a great writing tool. Of course, the boys do tend to get a bit carried away with typical action hero antics and I couldn't quite figure out how a pirate ship ended up in the middle of the forest in one story published in class today!
Please do pop in to say hello as it is important to develop a good school/class/home partnership. I am not available on Thursday afternoons.
I will also take the opportunity to use this site for reminders eccetra so do pop back and check on updates! What better way to get our classroom into your homes!
Encantada!
