WOW the last RPI!
Today's focus was on sharing and connecting.
I need to make sure that I plan for sharing time more often. I need to build this into my timetable so we are doing it more regularly. My goal is that my class can do this as a follow up task once a week when they are not working with the teacher.
I also want to comment on blogs and give feedback. I would like to create a comment space where my students reply to these comments and act on the feedback too.
I am going to print off this slide to help when I am leaving feedback.
We find it hard to get whānau engagement on our blogs but I think the idea of setting a task for our tamariki to do at home with their whānau would be a great way to get them involved and if students blog about this activity whānau could be more likely to want to see what they have said on their blogs.
I have really enjoyed all the skill builders we have done on RPI. Its been great to focus on one skill and dive into it and get lots of resources and ideas to teach these different reading strategies. I especially liked summarising as this is something I always found a bit harder to do with my learners, so getting more ideas and resources was perfect for my class!
Hi Lauren, I think your comments about blogging really underscore how important it can be. An authentic audience for their learning is going to be empowering for your students and building in time for commenting and feedback is vital to ensure it happens. I like your idea of adding blogging to your tumble, maybe in writing rather than reading though. It has been fantastic working with you over the RPI, I really appreciated your enthusiasm and willingness to share! I hope you keep in touch to continue to share the wonderful work you are doing with your students. Kiri
