I have had a busy start to the week. We have had a re-jig in our school to even out class sizes etc. So I am now teaching a Year 1-3 class which I am pretty pleased about because I was struggling a little to get conversation flowing with only 7 students.
Over the last two days I have spent time reintegrating the Year 3's into the class and going through what is expected, routines etc. They have picked it up fairly quick as it was only a term ago that they were doing it.
In writing my goal was to have children verbalising what they are learning and their next steps. My Year 2s, and some Year 1s can, however I will need to work on this with my Year 3's. I have created a visual set of posters similar to the butterfly lifecycle which I plan to have them using tomorrow. I also was working in allowing time at the end of a lesson for reflection. Which I have done a couple of times but need to make sure I do it more often.
For reading we have been making use of the word wall and I have noticed my students also using it a lot during writing which is awesome to see. My next step in reading is to develop some independent activities for my Year 3 students that aren't to easy.
For maths my focus was to have students practicing their basic facts each day which I have achieved - wahoo. My goal for the next 2-3 weeks is to get my maths programme running smoothly with 5 extra students who have a range of learning needs.
