The Pounamu students have been asked to manage their priorities independently. Every student has certain 'priorities' they have to practice everyday including buddy reading, whizz cards, Sumdog, Sight Words and they decide how long they spend on it.
To help the students make these important decisions we have designed a priority sheet which is clipped on their clipboard. The students have done a fantastic job of embracing this 'agency' and making the choice of how long they spend on an activity.
We have also guided them by helping them to decide which activities they should focus on first and making the choice to complete a priority before they go on to another activity which is not a priority. It is a lot more difficult than it looks!!
