Sun is shining in the sky...there ain't a cloud in sight!

 After my class on Monday, and my reflections yesterday, I was a little anxious about going to my writing class today.

I didn't film the class - I WISH I had, because today was awesome!
The energy was up, I had a clear plan of what I was doing, the children were interacting well together - it was really fun, and really productive! Following on from my last blog, I feel as though some part of the success MAY be due to the fact that I didn't feel that lens on me... But, I also feel like I went into the class prepared:

*I had a short warm up activity where I modelled the grammar point on the boar(different kinds of sentences: questions, statements).  I asked questions to individual children, and we also went through a few rounds of TSST. 
I also encouraged children to help each other and referred questions to the group.

*The writing prompt was much clearer and thought out this time.  I told them a story to begin with...and then we discussed the writing trait (main idea and details) before we did a group graphic organiser together as a model.  We had enough time to talk about our own ideas, and begin our own graphic organisers (to be completed at home).

I feel like this was the kind of class that I can be proud of, and I am now determined to make sure that future classes run as well, and as successfully! 

Here's some theme music that's been around since I finished my class...
