Week 8

Week 8 in 'theONE6'...

The last 2 days have been a wonderful trial of LearningMYway! Students have been given a set of tasks... MUST DO    SHOULD DO    CAN DO   and have created their own timetables by selecting what and when. I have seen some brilliant examples of self-management over the last 2 days and it is very exciting.

It has been fantastic to see kids using their blog, completing their Maths, doing some creative writing, playing Maths games on Mangahigh Math / Maths Buddy, #NZreadaloud1, tweeting.... ka pai tamariki.

    1. That is one of the big purposes of LearningMYway... to have students feel more independent and in control of their own learning.

    1. That is good Mitchell. I think it is important that students have some choice about this...it could mean you focus more and even get more done!!

    1. I love it when i hear students telling me this! It makes me realise it is worth all the time it takes to set up. The idea has come from lots of reading I have done about how to make classrooms better for kids! It makes ME really excited to hear YOU excited about learning. YAY for us!!

  11. Hi Ms T it's Jasmine.
    I really enjoyed making my own timetable even if it wasn't for long. It was very interesting working on my own timetable not the teachers.
    It is different from last year and i personally think it is a good change. It is a great way to get people excited about coming into the classroom. Do you like learning my way as much as I do?

    1. Hey Jasmine,
      I am really glad you liked making your own timetable (for the short time we did it). I think it will be very motivating for learners like yourself who can 'move on' at your own pace. I also think it will get kids more excited about coming to class. And yes... I love LearningMYway...this will be my 3rd year working this way:)
