Todays session was very helpful and resourceful. As a kura we have already taught measurement this year as a main whenu, however we still continue to practice the mahi through out the year. I have attempted to use a task board template given in our MPI class, and will be teaching the perimeter (PAENGA) and area (HORAHANGA) to the classroom. I will be using some of the resources and games shared from MPI.
I will be using the Matariki Māra plan as a guide for my lesson as we are going into Matariki celebrations. My first part of the plan will be learning the new vocabulary needed for the lesson, to empower better understanding of the mahi.
As a kura we are working on our vegetable gardens for each class. We have grown our seeds and will plant the seedlings soon, pending on the Māramataka.
The resources already in the taskboard are very hands on and make a lot of sense, specifically for horahanga. My plan is to introduce the lesson in Week 9.
He tino pai ki ahau te kēmu māmā me ngā mataono rite, kātahi ka hanga he papa horahanga, ā, paenga rānei. Kāore anō kia oti te papa mahi Ine, heoi anō anei he whakaahua o te papa mahi mō tēnei wā.
He rawe te kite o whakaaro nui e pā ana ki te pāngarau me pēhea ka whakamahi ngā mea nui e ako ana koe - kei runga noa atu koe Lucy :)
ReplyDeleteKia ora Lucy,
ReplyDeleteReally nice to see you carrying on with īne and making it so connected to your current learning context. Linking area and perimeter to Matariki māra is awesome, and it will definitely help make these concepts meaningful for your ākonga. I also really love your focus on building vocabulary, ka pai! You’ve got a strong taskboard with all the effective programme components being used to engage your students.
Hope you get a chance to enjoy your non-contact time and recharge a bit too!
Ngā mihi,
Elena
