The last term has been a bit up and down as far as my consistency with WBT. I did however carry on with the Maori words for kararaihe ( class), ae (yes) whakaako ( teach).
Things began to wane a bit so wondered what I was doing wrong but I think the kids just got a bit sick of the same call and response. I brought in practise cards in the middle of term. This worked well but I didn't sort the note home so it wasn't organised quite right. I still worry about rule number 5 and how parents will react to it. Not sure how I will remedy this for next year.
I really needed to move to the guff counter and probably independents with a few really head strong kiss I have. I will have to move through the system quicker next year if need be.
In the beginning of the year I will add the notice home explaining all of the rules and how they will be practised throughout the year to reinforce independence, self guided learning and responsibility for actions.
Today we have started doing the rules in funny voices this went down well, but I am still not giving out enough smilies or frownies or getting the timing right for the 2mins game or out to watch the others.
Def have to sort that next year. I did see that one teacher had a lanyard with a Pen and small card on to record the smiles and frownies during the day.
As the system has fallen down a bit I have definitely noticed the behaviour also deteriorate. So have to get back on the game and be consistent with all strategies.
