Contact with students - 26/03/16

Home/School books are up and running and I sent students home with simple strategies and a picture to do some descriptive writing.
I am loving using the home/school books again and there are a group of students who have opted in.  I am getting books back quite regularly and I am finding these better than the homework sheets that they students don't do.  I must admit it is a lot of work to set up but because they are coming back at different times you only really have one or two to look at now and again.

What next?
I would probably like students to bring their homeschool books to workshops and then I can do some extra practise activities in their books for them.
I am also really making a conscience effort to not just do Maths, but also include Reading and Writing too.  I will continue to look for resources that they could use.  There are some good stories and follow up questions that I have used in the past that I could also include.

Exciting times - but I am hoping that the extra practise will really pay off for these target students.
