Direct instruction is joyful & leads pupils to success. Here is a *clip* where I use high frequency & high participation questioning in 3 phases:
1. Check for listening
2. Rehearsal
3. Check for understanding
Established routines: all hands up, turn & talk, SLANT & ruler reading

I have done all I can to prepare the students. Blood, sweat, tears. I have given EVERYTHING. I just hope and pray they’ll perform well in the exam now and actually revise over the holidays 🤲
@MsZYounis1 Nice! You’ll enjoy it there, plenty of room 😂 I’m good alhamdulilah, we started teaching again today! Actually been back at work for nearly two weeks already. Hope everything goes well with the new class this week 😁
Results day is always one of my favourites. Seeing the students elated with what they’ve achieved and the messages of appreciation 🥺 This is why we love teaching!
@lawteacherlisa Can’t believe she’s going to be 1 in literally a few weeks! Looking forward to these next phases too of when she’s moving around on her feet, she’s already made me burn a few calories chasing her around as she crawls 😂 That’s fine! Happy to help in any way 😀
Spent the first few days of my summer holidays doing the simple things I miss out on because of work. Waking with Amayra, feeding her breakfast/lunch, non-stop playing and putting her down for midday naps 🥺
