WK 6 (S2)

SBL was rather interesting this week.  The school production has taken flight and everything seems very intense stress wise and chaotic. However, welcome to the life of a teacher!  I love it.  Anyway this week I am working in room1 with year 1\2 students.  Their a likable bunch and they really thrive on getting my attention..lol..  I'm at the point now that I feel comfortable telling them what they should and shouldn't be doing and their ok with that.



Lesson 1
I had the opportunity of working with a group of 6 children.  The activity I prepared for the children consisted of working in pairs and creating a marble track.  This picture describes what I had asked the children to do which was:  To use all the equipment I put on the tabel and the needed to communicate with eachother about building the marble track, wheather it would work or not.  It took a lot longer than I thought, so I decided to cut the lesson in half and do the other half the next day.

Day 1:  Working in pairs

Lesson 2

Day 2:   Kotahitanga

I had the children do the same task as yesterday only this time I had them working in a team rather in pairs and I also had marbles for the children to see weather or not the track worked.  Overall I was really happy with the lesson I had prepared and the children enjoyed it aswell.  The best outcome for me was observing the children communicating and working with each other this is an illustration of KOTAHITANGA, working together.
