| Acting out a story really brings it to life! |
The past two weeks I have been reading the story of the big
big box with my 1st group of grade 2’s. I and the class was excited
because I used two boxes to demonstrate my story. I had a big and a small box.
When the kids came in I read the story to them and then explained that we were
going to act out the story by using the boxes! As I read, children one by one
piled into the box to illustrate the story, they were so excited. It was very
funny to see how they got in the box, some feet first some head first and then
got stuck turning around. Eventually the box broke because of all the
excitement but one thing for sure it bought the story alive.

| Rearranging sentences using students! |
I could see that they understood the story better using
props, so I’ve learnt if you let the kids ‘do’ the story they will understand
much more so I am definitely going to try and implement this more into my
lessons in the future.
This has been my first time tutoring in this way and whilst
it has been a challenge the improvement in the children and the fun I’ve had
has been great. I have learnt so much that I can apply to other areas of my
work and im excited to see how the second term develops.
