Te Reo - Kura Pō

This term I have attended Kura Pō night classes to advance my reo Māori and understanding of tikanga Māori. The course was 10 weeks long with 3 hour sessions every Wednesday. I have gained more confidence using te reo Māori in the classroom with my tauira (students). I have learned about local history from Ngati Whatua. I would also like to introduce more tikanga into my classroom - such as karakia for the start/end of the day and to bless our kai. I learned waiata that can be used in my classroom. I will consider attending the level 3 course next term. Link to course info. 

Essential Spelling List Tracking 2019

Above is whole class Essential Spelling List results from the beginning of Term 1.  I've created this tracking graph/chart to monitor shift in literacy. Excited to see the bars shirt to the right as the year progresses. 

Different style graphs can be created using: google sheets - insert - chart.
