Grade 3 In Class Support

Our Grade 3 students continued to experiment and learn about various types of performances.

In Miss Michelle's class, they had an exciting session of performing the stories we read together. The students listened to the story and then had to pair-share for 5 minutes. Next, they had about 15 minutes to practice retelling the story with a partner. The goal was to entertain the audience and our students tried to employ the learned strategies: they asked the audience some questions, asked the audience to copy their gestures, they used voices and presented unexpected turns of events to keep the audience focused.

Everybody really liked the activity and were very engaged. When it was time to present both the audience and performers had lots of fun.

The boys were confident and funny and the rest of the class truly enjoyed their presentation.

Later this week Miss Claire's students worked on creating podcasts with the help of the bossjock app.

They worked in 5 collaborative groups and had to record a fairy tail with sound effects and music.

Kim Veng's group was practicing retelling "The Goldilocks and the Three Bears" story. Kim Veng was responsible for various sound effects. The students were excited and collaboratively chose the music for their podcast.



During the Grade 3 rotation this week I worked with a group of students creating and reciting poems.

The students had a choice to work individually or in groups. Rossie chose to work by herself and created a lovely poem. While reciting her poem, Rosie practiced improving her expression and her ability to speak loudly and clearly.

Bravo Rosie!!

EAL In Class Support In Grade 1

Miss Carina's students practiced creating timelines about the most important events in their lives. We had a very interesting discussion about everyone's past. We also talked about what events are important and why. At the end of the lesson the timelines of all four students were ready and I am sure the rest of Miss Carina's class will find them very interesting.

Miss Carina's students wrote about their first birthdays, first teeth and first steps and of course about the time when they first came to ISPP.

In Miss Kelly's classroom all the students were busy writing their personal narratives and Vincent shared a lot of ideas with me.

All the scaffolding cards were very helpful and Vincent finished his story about a lost teddy bear just in time.

FL Grade 3 Class

In my FL class this week the Grade 3 students were engaged in an exciting task of figuring out the message of a painting. First we discussed the paintings, talking about what colors, lines, forms and the main subject they saw in the painting. The next step was to interpret the paining and try to figure out what the artist wanted to say to his audience.

Jiun and Hyo Yeon confidently presented their ideas.

Moon Ju and Mollymoon had interesting ideas and Moon Jo structured the presentation very well.

Maly and Hailey shared a lovely story about a bird in November.

On Friday we enjoyed playing charades. All my students were very creative miming their tasks. Everyone was excited and laughed a lot.

Kenta chose Moon Ju and she shared her guess.

Mollymoon was very expressive and lots of her friends were eager to give the answer.
