Ksenia's musings: August 2014
http://kseniasmusings.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 5 August 2014. Are teachers really the best teachers? I had the pleasure of observing this in my classroom the other day. We have been working on rereading our work and checking for errors and then correcting some of those errors independently (refer to earlier post to read about our proofreading wall. In my view it's a win, win! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Are teachers really the best teachers? View my complete profile. Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

Ksenia's musings: October 2013
http://kseniasmusings.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 October 2013. Blink and it's gone. I haven't taken the time to write for a while. You forget how busy this time of year is. I first thought that I would have time to do loads of professional reading in the holidays and take time to sort the paperwork that was accumulating arounds me. The holidays didn't proceed as planned and after a very busy Term 3 with production my head was swimming. You start to think about your every move in more detail. Why did I say that? The need for absolute transp...

Wednesday, 12 November 2014. Simple iPad Apps and writing. Yesterday some of the teachers at school presented ideas that they learned at uLearn 2014. Being in the junior school I decided to attend the workshop that focused on creative thinking and the use of iPads in the junior school. A successful day I think :).

Ksenia's musings: June 2014
http://kseniasmusings.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 9 June 2014. David Anderson PD Learning Talk. Today we revisited some PD that we did at the beginning of the year at our syndicate meeting. At the beginning of the year we had David Anderson come to school to talk about professional conversations. We discussed the importance of relationships in a working environment and the culture of learning conversations. Today we discussed some of these aspects again. We discussed Learning Talk in some detail as a team. At the end of the day I don't want my s...

Ksenia's musings: Writing
http://kseniasmusings.blogspot.com/p/writing.html
Writing moderation with Marie. I’m mostly on the right track. I tend to make my marking a little hard so I need to tick the children off when they have shown that they have done something rather than no they have not done something consistently. Writing Observation of Kate. Watched writing lesson to get ideas and see how lesson is being run. Used writing idea for lesson. Collecting assessment templates from VLN. Found National Standards Writing OTJ sheets. Got example from Gillian that was used in PHS.

Ksenia's musings: March 2014
http://kseniasmusings.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 March 2014. I have finally managed to set up individual blogs for my Year 2 class. As I've said before my Year 2 children seem to be so enthusiastic about everything we do. They love to show what they can do and so I thought that for some of my kiddies blogging is the way to go. Please have a read of what they are writing so far and leave us a comment: http:/ kidblog.org/room9pvs/. Wednesday, 12 March 2014. One step at a time. Monday, 3 March 2014. First Attempt In Learning. Let's celebrate ou...

Sunday, 19 October 2014. We took part in a course run by Yolanda Soryl. She is a primary school teacher who went through the same dilemma as most teachers in NZ. She understood that some children don't instinctively know the sound that letters make and need to be taught the rules and patterns that make up the English letters. Thank you Yolanda for a very stimulating lesson. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

Ksenia's musings: Control vs Choice
http://kseniasmusings.blogspot.com/2014/11/control-vs-choice.html
Monday, 3 November 2014. Unfortunately I found that this approach was not sustainable for me. I think this also stopped me from giving the best opportunities to my children. I didn't think this was possible with Year 2 students at the beginning of the year. Here are some spaces my children like to use for different tasks:. Our quiet working table. Favourite with the kids who don't want to be bothered for a particular task. Where the children like to get together to read books as a group.
