Today I was talking to my sister, who is also a teacher. We were going some jobs together when she said "It is the first day of holidays and I am already bored... I've got stuff to do but I don't want to do them'. To myself, I thought oh my... I thought I was the only one who was thinking that! So here are 10 things (in no particular order) that we teachers need to do over the holidays.</div>

<br />
As part of being part of the early educations network in my area, I am part of a year long study on bookmaking in childcare through to Year 1. For this I had to read this book. Each post will discuss my reflections. Feel free to comment with any feedback, things I could try in my classroom or your experiences with teaching writing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This chapter is called 'The Child's Image of Self as Writer'.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Important facts</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>It is important to assist children to develop an image of themselves as writers - people who make books (p.89). Do adults <i>really </i>see this? or are they playing along?</li>
<li>For book making to be effective in the classroom, students need to love it. </li>
<li>Book making is an activity that is privileged and encouraged by teachers.</li>
<li>Students choose to make books, rather than being told they <i>must.</i></li>
<li><!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?-->
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
Students need to want to do book making - to have the initiative. Ways to do that are..
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<li>Creating energy around read-alouds</li>
</ol>
<ul style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<li>use of positive language/encouragement - pg 91</li>
<li>connecting this first engagement to picture books by professional authors is important because those books help children have a vision for what a book would be if they were to try to make one</li>
<li>read alouds (chapter 7)</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<li>Inviting individual children to make books.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<ul style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px;">
<li>gives them a ‘leg up'</li>
<li>we need to appreciate students for the writers they are. When children see themselves as capable writers they sit down and show us what they are able to do, and this is how we know what to teach them.</li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Page 92, has some scenarios where teachers might invite children to make books.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">When children see themselves as capable writers, they sit down and show us what they are able to do, and this is how we know what to teach them (p.94).</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This chapter also discussed the importance of not dictating what the students are trying to write. I found it very powerful. Watch out for a future post where I talk about this more.</span></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<h3>
<b>Things I learnt</b></h3>
<ul>
<li>About a 'writers high'... how can I get that into my classroom?</li>
<li>Students need to have a sense of identity as a writer.. you can develop this through...</li>
<li>The text goes through some language to use within the classroom, this is what I intend to use.</li>
<li>Don't dictate what students write</li>
<li>I already knew about the <i>Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky) </i>but it was good to explicitly see some clear links.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<b><br /></b><b>How will I apply it to my classroom</b></h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Develop and support students identity as a writer.</li>
<li>Use of language about book making to get students engaged and want to create books</li>
<li>In relation to dictation, I am going to use sticky notes and attach them in my assessment folder or put it in my weekly notes for that child.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<b>Questions I still have that need to be answered</b></h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li>How do you get students from the <b>Stage 5 </b>to <b>Stage 9.</b> I know the saying 'When students are ready they will take it in an apply it' but I am getting impatient especially for students who are repeating foundation.</li>

<b>Jolly what???</b><br />
Jolly Phonics is an engaging and child centred approach to teaching literacy through synthetic phonics. The program has 42 letter sounds with actions for each (for more information, visit the <a href="http://jollylearning.co.uk/overview-about-jolly-phonics/" target="_blank">Jolly Phonics website</a>). In Year 1 if students are confident at phonics including blending and segmenting, students move onto the Jolly Grammar 1 program which involves a weekly spelling and grammar rule.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
As I teach a composite Foundation/Year 1 classroom (Prep/1 or K/1 are other names for it). I am expected to implement both programs, reading and writing lessons within a 2 hour block. I have been experimenting ways to deliver all efficiently - both Jolly Phonics and Grammar 1 programs and the literacy block.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Normally I am very anti workbooks or photocopied activities from a book. This is less like this as I can do currently (I might learn from this and change it for term 4 to best suit my students). <br />
<br />
<br />
I sequence Jolly Grammar lesson (35 minutes) like this:<br />
<b>Monday:</b> Introduction to spelling words for the week and the sound of the week.<br />
<b>Tuesday:</b> Students practice spelling words while introducing content to Foundations and introduction to grammar rule with learning task.<br />
<b>Wednesday: </b>Spelling word practice, spelling rule and dictation practice<br />
<b>Thursday: </b>Revise grammar rule with learning task<br />
<b>Friday:</b> Revision of both and clear any misconceptions.<br />
<br />
Photos of a weekly session are commented below.<br />

Students need to cross of each activity over the week while I am working with Foundation students. I allow 2 blank pieces of paper for this. On a shelf, I have a box with gel pens, newspaper letters etc for student to use.<br />

This sheet is photocopied from the Jolly Grammar Handbook 1 to assist students with the spelling rule of the week. Students complete this after I introduce them to the spelling rule. As you can see in week 1 we are starting the <i>bossy e </i> sound with a_e.<br />
<br />
The next page I add another spelling rule focused learning task to consolidate their learning. Depending on the sound, I just find something free on TPT.<br />
<br />

<br />
After the 2 spelling tasks, I photocopy the grammar learning task in the Jolly Grammar 1 Handbook. The first week back, I am introducing students to verbs<br />
<br />
After this page, I put another verb learning task.<br />

<br />
<br />
This dictation sheet is the last page of each week. There is a section of the Jolly Grammar program that allows you to read words and sentences to students and they need to record the sounds they hear.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have printed out each of these sheets for every week for the whole term, then binded it for each of my Year 1s to use this term! Wish me luck! I will let you know throughout the term how this booklet goes.<br />

I am very happy that you found your way over to the Learning Field.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>A space for me to share and reflect on my teaching practices </li>
<li>To connect with other teachers around the world</li>
<li>To share authentic products that I have made and used in the classoom</li>
<li>To refer you to other teachers products that I love and use</li>
</ul>

I am currently a graduate teacher. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education (Primary) in 2014 in Victoria Australia. I spent my graduate year teaching a lovely bunch of Year 1s and this year I am teaching a composite class of Foundation/Year 1s in a small rural town.</div>
<div>
I love teaching junior primary and look forward for the things I will continue to learn and develop.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
When I am not teaching I am....</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Staying active at the gym or playing netball</li>
<li>Watching television (netflix/stan addict) </li>
<li>Reading books</li>
<li>Internet surfing</li>
<li>Seeing friend and family</li>
<li>Dating</li>
<li>Finding life quotes on the internet</li>
