Reflection notes following the observation:
- practise the asking and answering of questions - be very explicit
- when modelling and acting out... don't go too far!
- use numbers beyond 10, e.g., instead of 3 bears and 2 buttons each, why not 7 bears and 2 buttons each?
- use of the modelling book: refer to it, keep it on display, and demonstrate, saying, "This is where it says..."
- you can make up or fake the 'Connecting' part of the lesson, e.g., "I saw a group next door who ... skip counted, for example."
- Launch: for the first couple of weeks, do be quite explicit with the questioning:
"Who is the story about?"
"What happens?"
"What do we need to find out?"
- Have the Talk Moves laminated and on display
- Keep any silent children in a group of 3 for now.
