Took the class again for more of the story that we read last week.
My mentor mentioned that she read some but I hadn't marked which page I got to in my relief at it all going well!!
It all went well but I'm still forgetting names since I'm only in class monday and tuesday.
Two boys kept giggling and fidgeting at the back and I had to move one, which my teacher complimented me on doing at the end. She also said I was a 'natural storyteller' which was lovely!
This week I moved the kids from mat to tables (it was end of day and they needed to collect their bookbags from their trays and sit back at their table). I chose a child and said ‘Ellie’s table go and get bookbags and go to your table’ but then found the kids nearest the bookbag drawers got stepped on! Next time will move children nearest to drawers (‘you 1,2,3,4,5 get your bags’) so the way is clear for the rest. Was a bit of chaos, and need to implement my own quieting technique before the next time. I think I'll use clapping a rhythm that they have to copy. Also will watch the Teacher’s TV episode on transitions.
Very happy though. Got to play with the IWB during the after school club, and that was good too!
Enjoying everything so far, now that my panic is over.
