Weekly Reflection

Weekly Reflection T2 
Wk 2

Date: 27th April - 1st May 

Goals for the coming week

  • Continue with running records on well below 
  • Complete Unit plan, group reading (short stories) 
  • Have blogger for PRT organised
  • Organise mathematical activities using PAT data  
Professional Development Attended 
  • Te Wananga o Aotearoa 
  • iPad Training with Zoe (Using Google Drive) 
I am disappointed that I haven't started my running records on my well below students. I plan to start this on Monday during my CRT time.  

I am impressed with the feedback given from some parents in regards to the classroom website, they see this as a great asset to inform them (the parents) about the learning activities and opportunities their child will/have be involved in. 

The continuous professional development at Te Wananga o Aotearoa has been a great tool for me. Not only is it growing my knowledge around things Māori, but I am learning new activities and strategies to help with the implementation of te reo within my classroom. For example; pepper, greetings, vowels and consonants, place names. 

I have enjoyed the two iPad training thous far, learning about the different programmes and how this can enhance students learning opportunities. This week Zoe guided us through google drive. Google drive will allow students to save any work that they complete onto this programme.   

Areas for future improvement
  • Remember to use real life contexts for students, especially maths as this can engage students and they are able to make connections. 
  • Modelling and being explicit with instructions/expectations and not making assumptions. 
  • Make sure I follow through with what I say.

Literacy Circles Reflection

Literacy Circles Reflection This week was the first week using the Literacy Circles reading programme. I have started this off as whole class to familiarise students with each role.  Worked Well:  Students understood the role of the " Discussion Director " and " Word Master "   Next Time:  More modelling and clear explicit instructions for each role (especially the role of the Summariser).  Asking for questions before students move into tasks.  Giving examples about how to successfully carryout this role.

Prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders

This term as apart of our Te Reo Māori Unit, Tangata Rongonui, we have been exploring prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders (Te Whiti o Rongomai, Tohu Kakahi, Te Ua Haumene, Te Rangi Hiroa, Tā Maui Pomare, Wiremu Kingi, and Titokowaru).  Learners were given 20 minutes to research facts on a given leader (D.O.B, Education, Job, Family and Iwi connections for example). After this time, each student was placed into collaborative groups to share valuable information about their Tangata Rongonui. Every learner was extremely engaged in this process and were overwhelmed by the knowledge held by these Prominent Leaders of Taranaki.  It is pivotal that we teach our tamariki about prominent leaders within each rohe (region) of Taranaki as Aotearoa's culture and history.
