Week two has been really full on and has gone so fast, can't believe it is Friday already. This week we started our whole school maths interchange, I am teaching stage 3,4 and 5. Monday was spent learning bowl a fact as a starter activity, most of the class picked it up pretty fast. The next few days were spent focusing on book layout and group rotation expectations. Some of the class understood this but we will be revising this each lesson. My focus for this week is to ensure all groups are focused and engaged in their rotation activities.
I started Daily 5 this week with the class and the activities I have set so far are working. Next week we will be focusing on having all 5 up and running. Was really good to change my plans for next week after my course in Hamilton with more detail and a few ideas to make planning easier. I am getting better with my time management as well after having brought a timer.
Have found that i miss out on a large part of teaching by having a day off so am going to get reading up so that children are able to run it themselves. I also have a teacher aide for a part of the day so need to ensure i am making the most of her.
Children did assembly today and it went much better than i thought. They presented teamwork and how we have been developing it in the class through art. The children have really been pushing the limits this week in regards to behaviour and i am constantly jumping on them for unacceptable behaviour. Here's hoping next week runs smoother. :)
