Justice sharing his math, I was too slow to capture him reading at recess!
As you might know, Iʻve been “BUSTING” our keiki in class…doing great things! We are always discussing making great choices for ourselves, to be pono, to do what your naʻau tells you…especially when no one is watching! Choosing well for ourselves & doing what needs to be done when no one is watching is truly putting what we know into ACTION!
Yeaah! Justice for doing just that!! Hereʻs his back story of being ʻBUSTED!” Justice was keeping track of his completed genres and making book selections to be able to hit his end of the trimester reading goal. As a class, we share temperature checks of where we all are and adjust our individual short term goals to meet our reading long term end goal. We discuss better book selection–when 86ʻing a book is helpful and when it is not, genre selection–choosing from different ones and not repeating the same ʻol, & time adjustments–if we need to read a few mins. longer or if we are on track. Thatʻs where all of the great book presentation come in to play…as we get recommendations from each other, as we choose our next great book!
Justice decided that he was super close to meeting his target. He chose to stay in with me at recess to work on hitting it… IN ADVANCE! He chose to do more in class, on his own time so when vacay began, he was already on track to hit his target! Atta way to go Justice! Great way of putting your great choice into action!
