A couple of weeks ago I joined up to slide for photos. I see quite a few people use it on their blogs. I have managed to make one but I am not sure how to get it posted somewhere. I think I need to be a lot more careful about joining things and then not knowing what and how to use them properly. I am becoming a ICT litterbug.
Also its quite scary how things link into other thinks like from google to blogs. Once again the more I am learning with all this ICT stuff the more there is to learn so----- while it is exciting being a learner, at times it can also be rather frightening.

Mario and inquiry
Here is a photo from our class. Its Mario, the leather back turtle from The Isle of Man and his travel diary. The children love him already so our travel buddy work is all go. The diary also mentioned puffins - so another interesting animal to find out about. The kids loving learning about new things. We used google to find out about this kind of turtle and we found some great little videos. Also Mario's school has been commenting on our class blog. All this work is kind of inquiry based with questions and wonderings, ICT and recording our findings. Our BIG inquiry on the new entrant room is still at the finding out stage so we had better get on with that too.

Mario and week 4
I am finding it harder to put on pictures etc with classblogmeister but I know its about keeping the children safe. Mario (the leatherback turtle) went home tonight for his first weekend in New Zealand and lots of the parents signed the form.
Week 4 we have our goal evaluation with a buddy on Monday - I feel ready to share what I have done and L. said that we might be able to have a pre 2010 goal setting time. She also said she might be able to help me with a parents session about blogging etc (maybe late November).
Tuesday night at 6pm is our reading session. 9 of my parents have said they will come. I will do my early reading demo lesson with my 3 yellow girls. I must rememer to make sure the parents bring them to the evening.
Wednesday after school D and I will have our team meeting at the museum it will be good to try something a bit different.

whats on week 3 and goals week 4
A short week due to Labour Day. I want to use the photos taken at the whanau time on friday -both to share our successes and for oral language. Maybe we can be in the newsletter???
On thursday I have a blogging session with L. after school.
I need to sort out who I can use for my reading demo at the evening session. in week 4. There are 8 returns from our class but I need some more really early readers because that is what I am going to show. I may have to do face to face asking.
Week 4 we have our goals evaluation and I am going to do some rambling here now about my goals. I think we are going to do it with a buddy so I want to be ready. Here are the parts of my goal but it really goes back to student achievement, especially literacy . (A bit out of order from the sheet.)
1.Set up a class blog - done but still a work in progress. Safety issues are a big feature!
2. Global collaborative Project- Travel Buddy to Isle of Man. Kikorangi has arrived there and Mario is on his way - blogging, e mails, photos, voice?? etc- another work in progress. We did work on predicting what our new buddy might be.
3. Establishing the learning culture through inquiry- Term 1 - Me as a Learner -all children know we are all learners in room 2 and they know who and what helps them to be a good learner.. Term 2 - Zero waste one - our big picture was What is it about our world/community that we love and what can we do to keep it healthy and safe? (Show newsletter I made for my enviroteam task) ) Term 3 was celebrations and we looked at common features of celebrations children may attend -birthdays, weddings . This didn't go so well as the Keeping Ourselves safe unit arrived (unexpectantly in the middle of it ) , so we didn't do justice to it. Term 4 Kath Murdoch is the model I like - I found it in Wanganui - show class work on the wall. Current unit What makes a great new entrant room?
4. Celebrating our learning journeys- show the wall, T.D's learning story- what else- maybe data from literacy???
An important part of doing our goals is REFLECTION and I have been doing that through my personal blog- so show that.
I have taken PD opportunities through cluster shares (both receiving and giving) trips to the East Cape and Wanganui, lots of reading, using the Rellco wiki and sessions with L. on powerpoint, paint and blogging.
I have had a great year!!!!
