Scaffolding Halloween (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
$5.00
Students don’t develop number sense by accident or even as a side effect of engaging in informal activities such as puzzles or songs – even those that, on the surface appear to be related to math. Experts insist that although every child can learn number sense, not every child will unless they intentionally and systematically participate in activities that promote the skill. This scaffold focus on that and so much more.

Scaffolding Texts through Verbal Deliberation (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
Language is the most powerful, most readily available tool we have for representing the world to ourselves and ourselves to the world.* Up until three years of age, children organise information visually. After this turning point, they need to verbalise knowledge to understand it.* Presenting activities that give them the opportunity to verbalise what they see, helps them to develop more language.
The technique uses critical thinking and verbal deliberation to make connections with what seems impersonal. Our young students will be actively dialoguing with each other while they consider images, listen to songs, or stories and this helps their brains to remain active. In this way, they’ll remember the material more deeply and for longer. The example we give here is from an art lesson, and you’ll see how you can adapt it to whatever story you are going to present.
Scaffolding Visual Information in Strips (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
Chunking is the strategy of breaking down material into digestible proportions in order to avoid cognitive overload and help students to transition more easily into new information. When we add strategies that promote critical thinking, we’ve created an even more effective means of presenting new ideas to our students.

Scaffolding with Irony (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
Adding humour to a lesson is always a recipe for success. Humour changes the dynamic of the class and helps students to see their lessons from a different frame of mind. This scaffold uses irony to help make potentially dry material more inviting and accessible – irony being the highest form of humour.
Of course, there is very little ‘dry material’ in Pre-School classes, especially since Pre-School teachers bring so much energy to virtually anything you do in the classroom. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to remember that we can present new information in a variety of ways to keep our little learners on their toes! (I grew up with an entire extended family who thrived on challenging all its members – from the eldest to the youngest – through ironic statements and very straight faces. I believe that helped me question everything in a very healthy way!)
