Remember the idea of tying a string around your finger to help you remember something? At a recent reflective practice group we did a similar thing with wood beads.
In the CLASS assessment, the “Concept Development” section has some key practices to do with children to help them develop reasoning skills. Asking prompting questions, predicting, comparing, brainstorming and relating to real life may not be things you are used to doing on a regular basis.
In order to remind ourselves about incorporating these skills into our interactions with children, we make wood bead bracelets with the key first letters of each word on 5 of the beads. Whenever the bracelet passes your line of vision, be reminded to incorporate something deeper into your interactions.
Give it a try!
