My Learning Goals

Description:

Today we looked through our reports from last year. We identified a next step (goal) for reading, writing and maths. Here are my goals:

Maths: my next step is to learn all my times tables

To achieve this goal I will: keep on practicing. Skoolbo will help me to practise.

Reading:

My next step is to improve my vocabulary and understand of different words.

To achieve this goal I will: Use the clues in the text to figure out what the word could mean. I will also use a dictionary to check the meaning of new words.

Writing: is next step is to read his work back and edit his writing.

To achieve this goal I will:I need to do this with all my writing - book work, google docs & blogging.

• Paragraph comprehension I got 4 out of 15.
• Vocabulary I got 7 out of 10.

I am going to focus on: Paragraph Comprehension

Active Listening

We are learning about different types of listening. There are 3 main types of listening that we learnt about. Busy Listening - When the person listening is busy doing something. They are too busy to concentrate on what is being said. Me Too Listening - When the person listening has a story that they feel is more important than the person talking so they interrupt and share their story instead of listening. Active Listening - When the person listening looks at the person talking, concentrates, gives non-verbal feedback (e.g. nodding) and asks questions about the story. To learn about the different types of listening, we watched this video:

 

 As a class we created our own video to help us understand the different types.
After practising each type of listening, we realised…

• Busy listening makes us feel like you’re not listening to us. We found it really hard to keep talking. 
• Me too listening makes us feel frustrated and sad that you think your story is more important. 
• Active listening makes us feel valued. We know you are listening because you are looking, nodding, asking questions. 

 As a class we are all trying to get better at being active listeners.
