Workshops and independent tasks.

This term our workshops have been running better because the rest of the class were set up better with their work. I made sure they had specific and explicit instructions of what to do when I am with a group. Although it is still their choice of WHAT to do, they are more clear of HOW to do it, e.g quality. Having the children choose their workshops, based on their area of interest or specific need meant they were excited about going to the workshops, as well as doing their independent tasks. A happy little literacy block...yay!
