Time to Think (Matthew)

Sometimes as part of my lesson I have to complete worksheets.

Most of the time I do this successfully without help from my TA or teacher.

Sometimes my TA or teacher may offer me extra help when I don’t really need it.

This is because I may look unsure but I am just concentrating and I need more time to process things.

It is really difficult for my TA or teacher to know when I need extra help and when I can manage on my own.

I like to do things on my own when I can, it makes me feel proud of myself and I learn better.

Woohoo!!

Sometimes to help me concentrate I put my head down and cover my ears.

I do this because I need to concentrate but people are still talking to me.

I will try to tell them that I can manage and need to concentrate and that I would like to try on my own.

This will mean that I can work independently and make my teachers proud.

TA, teaching assistant.
