@K_Coolentianos How does this work babe?? Have you tried it?

I did shape bingo as a warm up activity in my maths lesson yesterday. Instead of calling out shapes, I gave the students clues and they had to identify the shape! They loved it and had so much fun identifying the correct shapes #teachstarter #ACUedu_p

The best way to engage with parents is by setting up various ways to communicate. Whether digitally (Dojo Stories, class blogs) in person (formally and informally), written communication etc. so that all parents have the ability to be involved and engaged @P4Learning #acuedu_p

Had a tough lesson today with my kindergarten students at practicum. Behaviour and time management is something that I am going to have to work at. Important to remember that we will always have good and bad days #chinup #deepbreath #acuedu_p

This handy phone app allows you to randomly select a child to share their work or ideas in the classroom ! #technology #acuedu_p

Interesting behaviour management in Stage 3 for a very sports orientated class. If students reach MVP on the peg chart, they take 2 3 point shots at the end. If score successfully, they’re rewarded with 5 mins extra lunch tomorrow. Worked a treat! #acuedu_p

“A hurtful child is a hurt-filled child. Trying to change her behavior with punishment is like trying to pull off only the top part of the weed. If we don’t get to the root, the hurtful behavior pops up elsewhere.” @edutopia https://t.co/owJgSO8YW8

Now that NAPLAN is finished I heard a teacher at my practicum school say, "Ok now we can make teaching fun again". There is something seriously wrong with this! Do schools kill creativity? @SirKenRobinson has the answer.. #acuedu_p #multipleintelligences

On Wednesday I was able to go on a school excursion with my class as part of my final practicum to the Royal Botanic Gardens. So lucky I got to have this experience with the students and get to see their personalities outside the classroom. #sustainability #educate #acuedu_p

[taylaloxton_acu @TaylaLoxton]

My monster money has been set up, excited to see how the students continue to respond to this behavioural management system over time #ACUedu_p

[Ashton Cherry @TeachingCherry]

Love this idea! #acuedu_p https://t.co/OE0B90WsE6

The type of teacher I want to be created learning environments and experiences that assist ALL children to become active, self-confident and resilient members of society. #acuedu_P

Planning our dream classrooms in our EDFD462 Workshop. This classroom encourages co-operative learning and utilises a quite area as a positive behaviour management strategy. Looking forward to seeing this come to life in future years! #acuedu_p
