Snippets from a day at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre. An experience that has left an imprint. An experience that I am itching to have dialogue about.

...but I've seen it hook in writers who find it challenging to express ideas and craft texts when asked to write creatively.

Stumbled upon this gem at the Art Gallery of South Australia during the summer holidays. Not only has using this resource increased my confidence with facilitating creative writing sessions with children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (trust me, SO out of my comfort zone)...

Middle and upper primary teachers, I have a question. What are your go-to strategies for noise level management in the classroom? I'm noticing that my 1-5 voice scale isn't cutting it with the older year levels. The TRT toolkit is needing some tweaks for term three.

Thanking the team at Lobethal Community Kindergarten for the opportunity to observe their Bush Kindy Program today. What a treat it was to see young children engage in authentic, nature play experiences in the beautiful Adelaide Hills!

Learning looked like measuring puddle depths, observing a family of kangaroos, respecting the land, discovering varieties of fungi, building cubby homes with natural materials, and identifying the names of native flora. A day to remember.

As a TRT, what lights me up? Walking into a classroom and finding a class set of name badges. Classroom teachers, please don't underestimate their power!! This basic resource honestly makes all the difference when connecting with your students across the school day.

As I value my personal relationships, I am SO grateful for the freedom this year has brought forth, allowing me to spend evenings strengthening my connections with the people who matter most to me. Loving the change of pace!

Something I'm really enjoying about the flexibility that comes with temporary relief teaching, is the occasional mid-week day off.

[Stephanie Palmese @MissPalmese]

The full time teaching load had me prioritising planning, and attending to admin tasks post classroom dismissal each day.

May has marked the start of another new teaching role for 2023, this one being at the gorgeous Little Picassos Art Studio. I am thrilled to be tapping back into my creative potential, and nurturing many young artists' skills, and love, for the Visual Arts!

Twitter, I have neglected you, but I think I am ready to make the return.

[Stephanie Palmese @MissPalmese]

New school year, new teaching venture awaits. It's official -I'm reentering the temporary relief teaching space. Looking forward to teaching in different learning environments, seeing other approaches to early literacy and numeracy learning, and connecting with other Educators.

[Stephanie Palmese @MissPalmese]

Today marks my last day at @SASWalkerville. It has been an absolute privilege teaching children in the Early Years, for the past seven years there. A very bittersweet day ahead, but looking forward to celebrating with my colleagues.

Last day of term!!!

8am student deliveries. If only photos had a smell feature.

My year one scientists are inquiring into the changes food goes through before we eat it. This week we are investigating one theory about change by exploring this provocation table.

@rachaelhedger @Flinders would love to hear more about it.
