In my school, I'm alone. No one ever started grade 1 with EFL kids entirely online while trying to keep up the curriculum. Last August we were spared from lockdowns. This year, we'll spend 5/9 months learning online.
We do what we can in the class as a group, but we have to do some independent practice. You know how it is, the ahead kids answer everything quickly and the others just chime in and follow. I can call on the behind kids, but behind kids are pretty slow and the ahead kids have no patience for it.
I'm using Quizizz to review spelling and vocabulary words. This is the perfect solution for the majority of the class. The most ahead kids love it because they get top scores. The behind kids don't mind it much, because it's a challenge but they can do it and it feels good. It's the kids near the top, who can't quite win, who get mad, and complain.
Our school selected Microsoft Teams, so children can unmute themselves to complain whenever they want. Kids complaining is more infectious than covid...I need to motivate them, but with what?
What are some rewards or tools I can offer to motivate 6-year-olds?
Many of you have been through this in the past, share what you learned the hard way.
I'll pay it forward one day.
