Specific class information
Learning Centres
Learning centres are used while the teacher takes a
small guided reading or reciprocal reading group.

Students are grouped according to like needs, not 'like
levels'. For example, students who need to develop
expression when reading.

Students have learning engagements to suit their
learning needs- learning centres are not activity
rotations.
Expectations for during
  Learning Centres

Students work quietly and help each other as
needed.

Students work independently.

Students know that they are not to interrupt the
Guided Reading session with the teacher.

Support students during writing
Writing
  3 Steps and move on to the next child:
1. Look for something they have done well (according to
the lesson focus) eg. Lesson focus is Narrative Text
Features, look for where they have used pronouns or
similes appropriately

2. Find something that is nearly correct and support/
question them while they fix it.

3. Find something that is incorrect and show them how to
fix it.
During writing, children are
          thinking about:

• How to grip the pencil        • Punctuation

• How to form letters           • Grammar

• What information to include   • Idea generation

• Structure/ Genre features     • Spelling

• Audience
Writing Success
    criteria
Spelling tips
• Spelling: Do not fix each incorrect
  spelling word.

• “How do I spell....?”

• Kids are encouraged to use their best
  spelling during a first draft

• Spelling focus during editing using
  classroom resources

       Help a child
     develop Fluency
     and Expression
      when reading
Behaviour Management
  When working with a group of specific students,
ensure the students follow our Essential Agreement.


Keep students on task by asking questions like:
"What should you be doing now?"
"Where should you be?"
"Tell me about what you are up to."

Encourage the students by praising good behaviours and
use the class management strategies.
Confidentiality
The privacy of both parents and child must be respected at all times.

Children can easily be hurt by apparently harmless remarks from their
peers or other children.

There is an expectation that information we share with you and
observations you make of student ability and behavior in the
classroom will be kept confidential

If another parent approaches you about their own or another child’s
progress please direct them to speak to us
Bus Passes

Currently you need to email cdnis@kcm.com.hk
and request a seat on the bus, indicating that you
are volunteering for a school activity.

Changes to be made from October 31
Bus pass changes to be
   made from October 31
If you require a bus pass, you will need to let your
teacher know at least one week before you start
helping in the classroom.

 The teacher will then organize for you to have a
‘regular helpers’ pass, so that you can catch the
bus.

The pass states which months, days and times you
will be helping.
