Focus: Transition time between being on the mat and moving to do their writing.
Chn are talking about Spongebob and what describing words they can use to describe Spongebob. Chn are engaged and are willing to participate.
Teacher is managing behavior using the behavior procedures and HOM.
After watching clip the teacher asks the student to summarise what is happening. What is a summary? The chn pair-share their ideas. Tch praises the contribution of the chn.
Teacher is including learning intention in his talk as they are discussing their plan. He is modelling the plan and the chn are using dialogue to contribute to the plan.
Transition time: Chn have draft writing books in a box on their desks ready to go. Groups are called out and are asked to begin straight away. Everything is organised and the chn know what to do. They are able to get to their writing straight away.
What I can use in my classroom: Before writing it is important to have books ready to go so that we don't waste time between leaving the mat and writing. I noticed this reduced noise and the chn are more focused. As I don't have individual boxes I could get all the books placed on desks by a responsible child or as we come in from morning tea we could get our books and place them out.
