Meeting a Yr 1 class tomorrow. I thought it’d be fun to create my own posters using Canva and Microsoft PowerPoint! 🤩 I inserted my Bitmoji to make it more personalised #acuedu_p
Sometime things happen for a reason which is not clear at the time. But trust in yourself and things will work out for the best. Something for all aspiring teachers to ponder #acuedu_p
Phases of the Moon project with year 2!!
The children were so excited all week to create this project. After 4 weeks of learning about the Moon and how it changes, they finally got to create a model on the phases of the Moon. #acuedu_p
Introduced year 5 to the ‘Properties of Matter’ last week! I facilitated a student led investigation in an open learning environment by inviting year 5 next door to join in on the fun! I was blown away by their enthusiasm, engagement and discussion 🔬🧫🤩 #acuedu_p
Public speaking topic for year 2 was “the best thing about my family is”. Here is a photo of a brainstorm we completed as a class. Almost the end of week 2 of my 7 week practicum and I am really enjoying it!! #acuedu_p
@alanablazevic Be approachable by taking every opportunity to talk to parents. Celebrate the successes no matter how small. The informal conversation is just as important as the formal. Convey a sense to parents you want to be there for their kids and every day is a good day.
Everyone learns and grows differently. It is so important to learn more about our students needs and how to meet them, and help them improve academically, rather than expecting them to be “academically gifted”. #acuedu_p
During one of my casual days I noticed a quote that has stuck with me:
'Children must be taught how to think, not what to think'
- Margaret Mead
I think this quote is so crucial when looking at all aspects of learning especially behaviour expectations

I love using these reflection cards at the end of lessons as students are able to reflect on their learning. As a teacher I am able to identify where each student is at with their learning. #acuedu_p
I purchased these cards from The Young Educator on TPT.

I can’t help but think how important it is for us future teachers to set a good role model for students to not only promote academic achievement but to also become someone that students can look up to, learn from and remember for the rest of their lives! #acuedu_p
In regards to my transition to the professional, I would like to learn more about differentiation strategies and effective resources that cater to all students needs in the classroom.

The most significant thing I’ve discovered in EDFD452 about my transition to be professional is how others will perceive me as a professional individual which is a status that I must uphold throughout my profession.

Working towards finishing the personal professional learning plan assessment... It helped me learn the importance of setting clear goals to learn my own weaknesses, and how using effective strategies to achieve these goals can enhance my teaching and practices. #acuedu_p
