WBT Blog June 18, 2013 My first 2 weeks of WBT Preschoolers
I started the process of WBT on June 4th 2013
with my 2 1/2 to 4 years old, class of 12 kids.
We started with the 5 Class rules & Class/Yes the first week than
went to Hand and eyes the 2nd week along with the scoreboard. Can I just say it has had amazing results! The class management has been so
helpful. Even though these kids are
little they” get it”! I am so proud of how far they have come and how they call
each other out instead of meJ
They love getting points on the scoreboard and work hard to
earn points. Always getting the almighty Groan or Oh Ya! Love it.
I have found that it engages the student’s mind and body at
the same time, so it works very quickly and they learn fast. We are just incorporating the turn and
teach/Okay, which has been interesting to watch them learn.
Parent feed-back has been positive to say the least. I have parents asking, what are you teaching
them? My child is saying “when my teacher
is happy, I’m happy”. I laughed and said
yes, making their dear teacher happy is one of my rules and they are quite fond
with trying to carry it out. The yes has
spilled into the home as well. When a
parent says the child’s name the child responds “YESSSS” such a positive response compared to
the past not wanting to do what the parent asks.
I am happy I embarked on this journey into WBT and look
forward to the next blog and how the class is moving forward with it.
