HAD MY FIRST DEMO/DISCUSSION IN CLASS... remember how that felt, really enjoyed it and felt exciting, just got to get used to things! no worry

discussed and reviewed the woods that we seperated.
Mrs Baggot, has said that from there what she will do is start letting me introduce and get them to sit down, get their attention etc when theyre rowdy next time!

she then asks them to consider what needs to go into the pencil case. she counts 1-10 for them to chat about it. then 1-20 to write it down. this engaged them and got them excited again rushing to get ideas on to paper. fantastic approach really inspiring!

NOTES

afterward we discussed presence in class:

• Never underestimate physical presence. If someone is misbehaving or showing off. Own that space, sit next to them and teach the session from there. 
• Don't forget to renew strategies. Vicky mentioned that once a teacher tries and tests a new strategy and it works, if it begins to fail or doesnt work on certain students, sometimes we become blinded and believe that now, it's the student, where really we need to be in a constant state of adaption and change our style to suit, find what works!
• POST IT NOTES. She said they are magic! example given was that she had a difficult class and she started giving everyone who behaved really well, a post it note with their name on. at the end of the class they could put them into a lucky dip box. the more times they had their name written down, the higher the percentage they would have their name picked out of the lucky dip box at the end of the week. then they won a box of chocolates. Once the behaviour was changed you could then drop the approach because the behaviour had been tackled and positive reinforcement was made.

FEELING SUPER GOOD TODAY!!
