It's about time! πβ°β
Today my students created their own watches then battled in rock, paper, scissors to win the right to record the time on their peer's watch. The aim was to record more times than anyone else. Successful Friday done right!

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!

This week, my class have been focusing on looking at multiple points of view in their persuasive writing. Coincidently, an ant wandered into our classroom and the students instantly engaged in a heated debate as to why the ant should or should not be squished!

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...

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

As I will be spending alot of time with my students during this practicum, I felt that I should reach out to the parents too and introduce the extra face in their child's classroom. Already I have had so many parents approach me to introduce themselves!

Ready and excited to start my placement tomorrow! I'm looking forward to putting everything I've learnt this semester into practice in the classroom. ππ

I'm yet to use these in my lessons, although I've seen many variations. I'd be interested to know how other teachers introduce these to their class.

Exit tickets are popular method of closing a lesson. Think about all the options you have for putting a bow on learning. Do you want to circle back around to content? Reflect on mindset? Make relevant connections? Examples from #HackingQs. #hacklearning
