I'm super excited to introduce Mr Potato Head to my year 2 class today. When my students work together harmoniously and uphold the school's core values, they will earn a reward!

Excited to introduce these edit cards to my class tomorrow. Hopefully this helps them with finalising their work before handing it in.

I've been thinking how to emphasise to my class the importance of editing their work. Today I used these puzzle pieces I made to demonstrate how editing completes your work, just as the final piece completed our puzzle!
My class loved it !

Today my class with be using talking strips for a verbal persuasive debate and then learning to use the burger model to write a persuasive response.
I'm interested to know if other teachers have used these strategies in their classrooms...

Teaching children to de-stress has become such a valuable tool for some Australian #teachers that they are arguing #meditation, or #mindfulness, should be part of the national curriculum. https://t.co/TTQiSd3Kuq @QLDEducation#AussieED
@MissKGillis This works! I use the same strategy in the Kindergarten class I am working with. I suggest letting students Think-Pair-Share first, and then choose a name. This way, they have time to think and come up with an answer 😊👍 #acuedu_p
Visiting my school for placement, meeting my Kindergarten class and supervisor teacher this week was amazing! I am looking forward to starting prac next week! #acuedu_p
Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.
I love the idea of a classroom that has different areas that allow students to work in a way that suits their learning styles. Whether that be individually, collaboratively, on a desk or on the floor, every child feels like they belong! 🥰 #ACUedu_p
It's the final countdown, last week of the semester. Seems so close, yet so far. Keen to knock these final assignments out and start my final pract! 📚⏱

It was great listening to ways to build a professional brand in lectures today! I'm excited to start prac next week and put everything I have learnt into practice!!!

It was great brainstorming some ways to communicate with parents in tutorials today. Using social media and apps, diary entries and newsletters are some of the great ways to achieve this!!! #acuedu_p
It was interesting today in tutorials being able to design our own classrooms. It brought to attention what needs to be taken into consideration when creating your learning space, and how it can affect student learning #acuedu_p
