Inquiry Plan Status Update 1

Hey Guys! I began my inquiry plan today with both my AM and PM students. I was a little nervous that this might be a little difficult for them. But, for day 1, it went GREAT! I was so impressed to see how eager they were to start something new. I think we were at the point in the year where behavior started going out the window, therefore, limiting instruction. They were so motivated during the day today to get work done, and make better behavior choices that you could hear a pin drop during independent and centers time. I was so happy to see that they were actively making better choices just to earn the Extremely Happy Garfield!

I went ahead and video taped my introduction of the Reflection Log and how it works. I also video taped a portion where the students were personally filling out the logs. Two students did not earn the highest level, and actually KNEW what they did wrong. They were able to write on their own why they didnt earn it. I was so happy that they were able to do this on their own. I think this is going to be a great way to monitor their own behavior. I can't wait to see how well this goes over the next couple of weeks!
