Students think it’s “magic” that even a week later, if I show them the first letter of each word cues of a whole text, they can remember it, repeat it, translate it.

As a language teacher, lots more choral repetition (have always done this) but tweaked to use Eng cue & German choral response; reading it back to me to start with. Next step is removing the whole German word and leaving just the first letter as the German cue, I continue to prompt with English.

We offer to buy them, but if they want to write in them, they buy their own.

This is what I love about having taught in the same school since 1996. “You taught my mum/dad/aunty”. Teaching the children of students who “came good in the end” and are proud to show you that.

Interesting. Have been wondering whether we’d go back to pre-Covid times.

I do a “Blog of the Week” recommendation for our briefing. I try to keep them short, practical & linked to some PD or focus areas that we’re working on. I very often recommend one of @pepsmccrea.bsky.social Evidence Snacks. They are perfect & provide wider reading links for the keen beans.
