Challenge - starting and not being hampered by perfection, just try

Using and applying various collaborating teaching with homeroom teachers and leap teacher.

Extend--I will more focus on the tier-2 words to build up the students' vocabularies.

Challenge---My challenge is that how to achieve "word consciousness".

extend: translanguaging is new or natural skill we will contiue to work with

Extend: "Translanguaging" : was an area I have been to explore more as a necessity in my class - I'm so happy it is a " thing" , and will continue to explore how we can provide opportunities for leaners to connect their knowledge to become real bilingual leaners - making connections and been proud of their knowledge and skills.

Challenge: Continue to explore ways to empower students , I'm interested in finding out more ways to eliminate the " filter mind"

Extend- Both parents and teachers had requested word lists in the past and this is something I had been working on for the past year, but was struggling to find the best way. Today gave me a new idea!

Challenge- Find the right way to facilitate co-planning meetings where the people actually teaching in a classroom together have designated time for just them to plan, assess, and reflect.

Extend- I love love loved the thought-provoking Interactive Read Aloud to ideas to help us make more intentional and effective use of this priceless strategy.

Challenge- I'm wondering when we can have you come back to work with our Chinese teachers on Translanguaging as well!

Extend -I am going to look into more research on Translanguaging and ways of introducing this to my students.

Challenge - Looking as using differnt teaching collabrative teaching models and how to include these in my class with my team.

I like how it connected with the schools goal of increasing vocabulary/ oral fluency

Extend

It’s a nice reminder to make sure to connect native language even with students excelling.

Challenge/Wonderings

The biggest challenge in class is finding materials with representation but with challenging enough vocabulary without being too mature in context. Are there additional ways to enrich vocabulary usages outside of word studies and referring to the mentor text and making sure the examples contain the vocabulary within 80 minute block once a week.

I feel very proud of the work we do here and how open-minded people are to try new things. I think the tools that have been shared are useful for all grades.

Extend

Translanguaging is a concept that we do implement regularly, but how many more opportunities are there to implement it in all aspects of the day not just in the classroom to help build relationships.

Challenge

To be brave enough to allow the students to write things in their own language and trust that together we can work out if they have understood correctly the main concept.

Extend: the training provided excellent applicable examples and strategies that I can easily upgrade my lessons with, share with colleagues during collaborative planning, and implement during co-teaching.

Challenge: A challenge will be to make sure I’m intentional with my planning, be flexible and receptive to taking risks, and making time to update my lessons and resources.

A Challenge for me can be what I do should be consistent with what I planed. It doesn't mean not being flexible, but to be more confident about myself.

Extend: Translanguaging extended my thinking about how to utilize the students dominant language to help them better understand the concepts and tier 2 vocabulary we want them to acquire.

Challenge: My challenge is to more intentionally work with my teaching partners to co-teach lessons in a variety of ways including "One teacher leading discussion while another teacher is assessing" and I'd like to try more interactive read alouds and really engage students in reading and build a passion for reading. I wonder how I could build this passion in my stream time group and make an impact for our very low students such as the one you observed in our grade 5 class.
