I had a great 2 days with room 8 and it was wonderful that after lots of hard work ALL children completed all their work and put it together and we set up the displays in the children's home class. We did poetry, art work, first thoughts about science and a scientist and photography.
I like being able to teach without having do lots of data collecting. I liked using BH's blog to help us with poems and his feedback about Ella's poem. BH said to write a line about the leaves on the tree, one about the leaves falling and the last about the leaves on the ground.
Such a simple format can lead to a poems like Ella's.
Autumn Leaves
Leaves look beautiful together on a tree.
When the leaves fall it is so sad because their life is over.
But, there are piles of leaves on the ground, to play with.
Science can also help with literacy through poetry. I remember how Te Whaiti said 'science is art", it can also be a big help with literacy. R8 also did some great art with the autumn leaves - I will post some of the photos of their art work soon.
