How's it going?

This year we have been changing the way we work in the classroom.  We have moved from 'task boards' where there are set tasks that students move through at a set pace to a 'must do/can do' style.  This means the students have all the same tasks they had before (and a few extras) that they can work on at their own pace and in their own order.

As a teacher I can see some of the ways this has been a great improvement for my students but...

I want to know, how good is this idea really? 

I have 3 things I would like you to comment on....

1. What is working well for you in this system?
2. What makes learning hard for you in this system?
3. What ideas do you have that could make learning in the Hoiho Class even better?

Pet Day

Well done!  You all did a great job on your projects and taking care of your pets on the day.

So.... What was the best part of Pet Day for you?

What do you think you could do better at next year?



Have a great Break!

Hope you all had fun at Grandparent's Day!  What a grat turn out.  I'm sure they all enjoyed your stories and seeing what you've been up to.  The cricket game was a great hit too!
