Reflection on Story Time - June 6, 2026
As I reflected back to the library room, I saw an environment filled with excitement and listening interests. The audience was a mixture of age group and it make it more interesting that these audience made up the ESL audience. I was so amazed of the readers in the stories because their presentation made the children happy because the books they read were caught their interest levels. The book about the Ocean Life, showed different animals is a great book for the primary grade levels. I enjoyed listening about each animal's description and the amazing rhyming words and colorful pictures for each animal. I remember in one of my lesson about animals in land, water/ocean, air, I used color pictures and words puzzle that students work as individuals that they put together to form the different ocean animals.
Cianna SN did an awesome reading for the children.
I also enjoyed listening to Estella as she read the book about The Night Before Summer Vacation. The audience were engaged in her reading. She did an awesome job. Kuddos to this Saturday readers.
Lastly, of course, to Frances, good job Anching on the two CHamoru words for the day.
Thank you, Jovie! I had a lot of fun. Thank you for listening and participating in the Saturday read aloud session!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The environment was filled with fun and excitement. I believe that reading in front of your students and interacting with them is a great way for ALL students to learn, especially the ESL learners.
ReplyDeleteSi Yu’os Ma’åse’, Jovie, for your thoughtful reflection. Indeed, it is wonderful to see the children engaged and the readers using expressive storytelling, colorful illustrations, and meaningful content to capture the interest of such a diverse ESL audience. Your connection between the ocean-life story and your own classroom activities highlights the importance of making learning interactive and visually engaging. There is no doubt that celebrating literacy and incorporating the CHamoru language and culture enriches the learning experience for everyone involved. Great observations!
