I always love walking into new classrooms as a causal teacher and seeing the creativity of the students I’m about to teach. This is what year one had to offer 🖼️ #ACUedu_p
As much as us teachers love to put our students first it is important to remember that we need to think about ourselves also. Self care is just as much a priority 🧖🏽♀️ #ACUedu_p
Our year 1 reading corner is a great addition to the classroom allowing for a quiet spot. This serves as a reward for groups each day to have some time to wind down and read a new book 📚 #ACUedu_p
This week year 1 learnt how to round numbers to the nearest 10 for the first time. Despite some initial challenges grasping the idea of it, they did an amazing job. It is the most rewarding thing when children learn something new off you and can execute it well! 💯 #ACUedu_p
Making meaningful displays for my classroom is one of my most favourite things to do in my spare time. Let’s remind all our students to THINK before they speak. This will make a point in maintaining positive social interactions and a friendly environment 🩷 #ACUedu_p
This definitely happens to the best of us! Not everything goes to plan but try and find the benefits of it. Now you know what doesn’t work and what will better suit your students next time. You are a lot more knowledgeable than you were even before the lesson ✏️ #ACUedu_p
My recent additions to my classroom calming corner. I create these printouts on Canva for children to use when the day gets too much and a space for reflection and relaxation is needed. A child’s well-being is always key to a positive outlook on school 🩵 #ACUedu_p
One of the student’s favourite activity of the term was making clear glitter slime. This was a great introduction to chemistry, in defining what mixtures, substances and states of matter are. It was an engaging, informative and glitter filled day! ✨ #ACUedu_p
I would like to engage more with various strategies for assessment. All too often assessment types are standardised and mundane. I want to develop assessment strategies to be diverse, effective and reformed for the modern student 📝 #ACUedu_p
EDFD452 has emphasised to me, the significance of professional development. Through assessment 1, I have learnt that professional development is a vital function that will improve and extend all educator’s development. The breadth of strategies out there is endless ⭐️ #ACUedu_p
There is nothing better than a clean Kindergarten classroom, ready to start the day! I have found that floor SitSpots are great for the classroom. They provide efficient seating and spacing of students for full focus when seated on the floor 🟢🟡🔴 #ACUedu_p
Assessment is a way of evaluating student performance and achievement. It allows teachers to evaluate and acknowledge all student’s level of learning and ability. It is very valuable and must be included in the classroom #ACUedu_p
