What have I achieved so far? 

I have been busy this year with my MIT inquiry, class on air, mentoring and teaching full time. I am currently thinly spread across my responsibilities. These last few weeks and next term I am focusing on my Reo in the classroom. Already throughout the year I have timetabled weekly Te Reo teaching which is explicit, although at times I struggle to interweave Te Reo throughout the day - this is due to my lack of knowledge. 

My class discussed the need for posters around the room to help us with our Te Reo ( Which we put up last week). Sally has given me the book 'Maori at Home' which is an everyday guide to learning the Maori language. Each day I am aiming to incorporate a new word or phrase into the classroom. We have started playing games in Te Reo ( With the help of a fluent student in my class). We have also discussed the relationship of the the tuakana - teina ( TKI information) in our science learning with the junior classroom. 

A question to ponder: What does tikanga look like in Ruma 4?
