When I first started writing this blog I never actually thought that anyone other than myself would read it. However I have been blown away by the visitors to this page. According to the stats, I've had over two thousand page views with visitors from all over the world. This has been a huge boost for me and so I wanted to give away some resources I've made to say thank you for the encouragement.
Reading Circles with the Super 6 Strategies
Reading Circles is a great way to use the Super 6 Comprehension Strategies. To run this activity, you will need to print off the job cards and laminate them. You will then need to split students up into groups of SIX. These groups can be fluid or levelled. It's completely up to you. When students are in groups, they are to decide upon what "job" they'd like for the session. The jobs are: Questioner, Summariser, Predictor, Connector, Monitor and Team Leader.
The idea is that the Team Leader ensures that the group is on task and that they're not spending too much time on the one task. Students read through a passage, novel or piece of information and complete their jobs along the way (for example: The Predictor will begin by predicting what they think the passage they're about to read will be about).
Behaviour Management
A little while ago now, I went to a 'Positive Behaviour for Learning' (PBL) course. While I was there I was inspired to create this Class Rules Poster and Student Reflection Form. I think this matches up with ClassDojo perfectly.
Meet the Teacher/ Parent-Teacher Interviews
I created this proforma for Meet the Teacher interviews last year before going on Maternity Leave. I wanted to collate a lot of information for the teacher who was to take over my class... And this is what I came up with. It could be used at the beginning of the year when meeting parents for the first time. You could then add to it as the year goes on and hand it to the students new teacher for the next year. How amazing would it be to start a year off actually knowing all of these things about your students?
Multiplication Test
Every week we test students spelling words and their times tables. I've tried a few different ways of setting books out and/or collating data and I haven't been completely happy with
them. So I decided to create a test booklet. The idea is that students have a page to write
down their spelling test words for the week and they also complete a timed multiplication
test.

Well that's it for now. Thank you so much for stopping by my page and for reading my posts. I hope these resources are useful for you. Sharing is caring so feel free to share with your teacher friends (and hey... Feel free to share your resources with me!).
