I am looking at changing up my timetable for reading in the new term. The reading program that I am using right now is working, but I have made some additions. I am keen to set up mahi where the students are involved in indepentant activities, where they can check and or mark their own work. A spreadsheet system where the tamariki fil in when they have completed their mahi. Something like forms where it can be managed and measured.
This weeks session was very informative and exciting. Filling the room with vocabulary has always been important for the learners in the classroom. I appreciated the idea of a word wall where the tamariki are able to add new and difficult words to and do some mahi on these words for further understanding and use for the words.
Malo e lelei Lucy, I enjoyed reading your post the place of words - kupu in our classroom. I have worked in the digitial space for learning for a while and found word walls are important to keep using. For some of the learners I've had - being able to quickly access vocab on walls was an important resource to provide. The adding to the word wall as much as possible is also key in highlighting this readily availble resource that is not tucked away when the chromebook is. Thanks for sharing Lucy.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Lucy,
ReplyDeleteThe word wall and students tracking mahi both sound like empowering your learners.
I look forward to seeing these in action in your Akomanga.
