Anderson shawnanderson2 https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2089302689 I have an ESOL student who didn't like to participate in our whole group lessons on Zoom when we were virtual, and she still only raises her hand when she's sure about the answer. However, when we're in a small group on Zoom or in the classroom, she will have her camera on and participate. Speaking in front of the class is a real source of stress for her, so I don't force her to participate if she doesn't volunteer. Another ESOL student freely participates but when I call on him, he hesitates. I can tell that he's processing what he wants to say in English, and before he speaks, I can see and hear him inhale deeply and then gives his answer.]]> 2022-03-10 23:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2089302689 S.

If a student doesn't know an answer, I'll ask if he or she needs a little help, and have the student call on a classmate to give the answer.

One way to do this is giving students the responsibility for analyzing and explaining the content and the language objectives on a daily basis. I would have to put students in small groups and provide them with collaborative conversation frames for the discussion. I would model what I expect, gradually releasing the process with the intention of one day having students lead all on their own. Students can also lead the revisit of the objectives at lesson ‘checkpoints’.

In this open and welcoming environment, students will be more motivated to learn, they will be less anxious and their self- esteem will improve. I am a FACS teacher, my classroom is brightly colored with food charts, realia and visual materials (flags from different cultures), here students can, not only identify with their culture but others too.

Students always see physical examples of what different sports and fitness vocabulary words mean.

However, after the class readings and discussions about comprehensible input, I have a much clearer picture of why these higher order thinking questions are crucial for my student's progress in language comprehension.

Most of their motivation for the school day comes out in their participation during physical activities, especially if it is fun and easy to understand.

Just this recent week, I have been practicing my class in building sentences using the HFW we have learned. Honestly, I really want to discover an effective way for them to use sight words apart from just flashing on screen every time. 

The process was I started with the dictation of a simple sentence. I chose 8 HFW words in a slide that will help them find, spell and write the words. Use of animations definitely helped them understand the expectations of the activity. Of course, I gave them a couple of examples before I challenged them to practice it by writing their answers on a mini board. 

After days of practice, since they have seemed to master the activity, I upgraded our lessons by adding more HFW and a picture. They need to think of a sentence that talks about the picture then write it down on their mini boards. 

Upon checking, I let them read what they have written to check if they achieved the objective.

Constructive feedback is often kept to a minimum because in their age group, a step in the right direction is all I'm really looking for as far as assessment. The environment focuses on play.

And these also help them to express their ideas or thought processes too. I use these in Reading Writing. https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2091722630

So I give this accommodation in general to refrain them from feeling isolated with this need. At the same time, I keep encouraging them to look around the classroom and see the materials that could help them like the number chart, alphabet picture cards, CVC words, etc. 

Also, I always remind them that their classmates could also help them aside from me. ]]> 2022-03-13 02:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2091984949 J.K Bautista https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2091988564 I always try my best to project a positive body language, I try to sound encouraging; that the classroom is a safe place, that they are safe with me. It is alright to make mistakes as long as it is not intentional. 

I make it clear to them that all I want is the best for them. So whenever we try to do progress monitoring, I give immediate feedback to allow them to process that focus and practice will help them become better. ]]> 2022-03-13 02:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2091988564 Charmaine W charmaine_white https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2127465009 As a practice area teacher, I used realia, visuals, sentence frames, graphic organizers, videos, modeling  to get the informations across to my students. The more they see, hear and do, the more they will remember and be able to implement the information later one.
I usually explained what digital platform they would be using in the class on that particular day, whether, it is nearpod, or edpuzzle or peardeck
I also limited the amount of information given during class so as to have more interaction from the the students whether with their partners or table of 4 or 5.]]> 2022-04-03 19:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2127465009 Charmaine W charmaine_white https://padlet.com/aileenmontillano/selfreflection/wish/2127469710 I realized that my students learn better when they are with a partner so I paired each of my student with a partner or buddy that will help him or her during and after the lesson. It is also the partner's responsible to explain to the other student  in his own words, what had happened in class if that partner was absent.
Chunking and Scaffolding the information help to reduce anxiety as they are not getting too much information at one time.
The use of motivational quote, deep breathing, and wellness check before the lesson starts help to reduce anxiety and get them in the frame of mind  for the work to come.
