Maths we are continuing with number strategies and working on our number knowledge as a whole class - which seems to be paying off.
This week I had a release day on Wednesday. I spent this time report writing, completing some ob surveys, getting assessment tools ready and doing some professional reading on teaching student spelling patterns.
As the moment spell is one of my personal weaknesses so I find it quite daunting to teach. However I am determined to be the best teacher I can be so I am going to equip myself so that I effectively teach my class to be better spellers. I plan on teach spelling like a phonics lesson and then linking it through reading and writing - however I have still got some research to do before I decide on my course of action. This little article is along the lines of what I am thinking.
Over the last week I have been gearing up to get all my assessment data finalised which shouldn't be to hard as I have a pretty clear idea of where my students are at. Next week will be super busy finishing everything off to make sure all data is accurate.
We had our school athletics on Tuesday and we were lucky that the rain held off while we got through all the events.
For our poetry this week we have been looking at the Zebra poem in Purposeful Poetry. I absolutely love this book - it has such a great plan for teachers. I also love the craft activity which my class always does on Friday.
Have a look below at what we did through the week.
