Today I sent home my first two Kete Talanoa. A huge thank you to Heather Collins who shared her fabulous resource with me. I am excited to be able to provide two learners in my inquiry focus group with this fantastic opportunity to not only increase their reading mileage and confidence, but also to increase whanau engagement. It is so important to introduce a resource with a practical walk through of the process so, after my initial introduction I tapped into the Samoan language expertise within my classroom. This allowed a connection to be forged that meant when these kete started their new journey, they went home with their new caretakers knowing what they need to do when they read with their whanau.
