Group 4 just finished its six-week training and I would like to share this report from Lori:
Hi Ben.
I just started school today after the break and I used the Star! We had a 90-minute class. I used about half of the time to get to know the kids and then maybe 20 minutes explaining the rules and the student jobs. Then we spent the last 15-20 minutes on the Create phase and tomorrow we’ll do the Reveal. One student said, “I think I will finally learn Spanish this way!” Yay! I am amazed because I didn’t think I could do this after just the six weeks of Zoom training that we just finished with you. I am in a hybrid class, and I can’t use the white board behind me because there is a glare. So I am using small white boards, and everyone was seeing and participating! The only kid who didn’t love it is someone who is heading to a PreIB program! Yay!
