assignment 6

As for kindergarten students and their willingness, there can be so many variables.  Students are still getting used to sitting on the rug for the duration of VTS.  I see students after P.E. and they usually request to get drinks and to go to the bathroom.  Once, one goes, they all have to go.  Students also seem to be getting the hang of being patient and waiting their turn.  This seems to be something that will be a challenge.

I did get a lot of listing and "I see" statements.  I also had several students say, "I think...". 

I did notice student fed off of one another.  If one student stated that the human figure in the image was a mom, several others would also make the same statement.  If another student identified the figure as male then others would also agree. 


The discussion concluded due to time.  It was time to line up and I wrapped up the session by thanking students and sharing what I liked about their work.

I think students are still getting settled in to VTS.  I am not sure what they learned other than the routine and expectations. 

It still feels pretty natural to VTS.  I am trying to adjust my previous knowledge of VTS and enrich the techniques I have used over the past two years.

  1. Listing isn't a bad thing at this early age. In fact, I believe pre-school VTS is initiated by "What do you see?" Their ability to think below the surface will come as they mature. The ones that are already doing that will scaffold the others. (Yeah, Vygotsky!)
