GOTS:
Reviewing my self core value was really helping because you don't get to think about these things.
WANTS:
I wondered if parents can somehow be on the same page as what we do at school in terms of literacy development. Some parents liked to push their child and move on way in advance than what we do here in Kindergarten.

I can relate to and identify stages of play in the classroom. Wants: We learned about Choice Play and Uninterrupted Play. How do you draw a line or balance when the children are being more physical with each other when playing? We did give time for them to resolve conflicts but then parents seem to think we are not supervising the children in those situations.

3 takeaways I will implement immediately
2 'aha' moments
1 wondering I still have

# data[].attributes.body
Analysing different pictures and videos of children playing, what skills are being used or what they are learning, as well as what kind of play it is. Definitely helped me to reflect and think about what the children are learning or skills they are applying while they are playing in my classroom, during recess and learning. How I can use play to  implement different types of learning.
I wonder... what are some great ways/ funplay to help promote phonetic awareness.

# data[].attributes.body
sensory play is important, using different medium. Looking into different lightings, materials, colors and setting of the room and flow of the kids. Reflecting on what we have and how we can fully use them.

I wonder... if we can make use the wall space, repaint the wall with a shinny code -  stick things on the wall. Move the cubbies out to the hall way, having just a white wall to do shadows...for projector

# data[].attributes.body
Gots: Being able to see different environments in different schools, to get ideas on what we could incorporate into what we are already doing (Natural colors, natural materials, natural/less harsh lighting, connecting rooms, cabinets and storage that are child accessible, lofted spaces)

I wonder how this would look in our school if we could actually make our dreams a reality.

# data[].attributes.headline
I can start thinking about adding the gradient color in the class. Letting the children explore different shapes of color promotes thinking skills, sciences, and collaboration. I learned that lighting could affect children emotionally.

I like to be creative in my space...How can we fit in this ideal learning space into our functional and tight space in the classroom?

ICS HK Fine Motor - Provocations/Invitations

# data[].attributes.body
3 takeaways implement immediately
- dig out my loose parts, organize them, have them available for kids
- plan more big muscles gross motor fun activities for kids
- plan Games that encourage visual skills and hand/eye coordination such as catching bubbles, balloon keepy-uppy, walking a line, eye spy (colour and shape), follow the leader.

2 'aha' moments
- making marks: let's kids explore different ways of making marks!
- 'To be able to run, hop, crawl and jump- as a child needs these skills before we ask them to hold a pencil.'

1 wondering I still have
- wondering if we have more time during the day to let the kids explore 'play' rather having to work on the 'learning without tears' book in R1?

# data[].attributes.body
Takeaways: set up propagation and invitation shelf in the class
Set up an environment with lighting effects and keep in mind to create a homey and calming learning environment for the children
Promotes more opportunities for gross motor develop-core strength, neck shoulders
2. "aha"-explore materials in a different way on our own can allow me to think in the children's way
symbolic-to-convention reading and writing-all the resources and materials are actually around us
Wonder: I wonder if we will have any sessions that can help to educate the parents.

# data[].attributes.body
This has been a very timely professional development as we are looking at remodeling and reorganizing our current classrooms. I think that we got some great ideas on how we can change the color scheme, lighting, and furniture in our classrooms to make it more inviting and homey for the children when they walk in. Ultimately if they feel more relaxed with the colors scheme of the classroom and the different provacations set up, the classroom will be a place that they can enjoy coming into every day, and feel they can relax in, even more so than they already do now.

The uninterrupted play was something that we had time for more in that past that has been hindered a bit by the curriculum. I am still wondering how to balance the curriculum with the uninterrupted play time when we only have 3 hours with each group of children per day.

3 - making a wall space for children to do creative panting/drawing with different drawing tools.
- plan gross motor activities that encourage cross body movements, build up torso strengths, balancing skills
- rearranged the classroom so children can get access to materials even easier than it has been.
2 - making marks :  allow children to explore different ways of making marks, beside drawing and retelling their experiences.
- more variety of activities to build those muscles strengths before we start focusing on the proper pencil grip.
- train their body muscles from gross to fine.
1. - still wonder if Learning Without tears workbook is suitable for R1 (3-4age) group or it can be flexible according to the children development?
- are there good materials for parents to learn how they can implement what we have learned at home as well.
