Up to my final semester of uni, and it's sad that my semester will most likely be solely online. It's very surreal that I'm reaching the end of my degree. With my GTPA complete and all my pracs complete, I'm on the home stretch! @acuedu_p
In Kindergarten, we are "scooping our way to 5 STAR writing". Each day Kindy Ss are given a goal to help improve their writing. Ss are awarded with an ice-cream scoop if the goal was achieved. This is a great way to motivate Ss to become confident writers. #acuedu_p
working at my current prac has made me realise just how important the relationship between staff is for morale. I really enjoy showing up to such a positive, family-like atmosphere, and it will definitely influence the schools I apply for in future #acuedu_p
two weeks into prac, and time sure does fly when you're having fun (and super busy!). Juggling teaching and uni work, as well as the GTPA can be super stressful. Trying to focus on taking time to do the things I love. #acuedu_p
Let’s talk about ✨🧠BRAIN BREAKS!! I would let the class decide which brain break would best suit them on the day. I’m also open to new suggestions too, giving students the chance to share🤩 Here are my favourites! Hope this is useful😋 #acuedu_p
Taught my first lesson for prac today! Felt unsure after finishing but my supervisor had a lot of positive feedback and suggestions to improve my future practice. Just shows that you are more critical of yourself than others :)
completed my first observation day for my final prac. In my opinion, the first day is always the hardest, so I'm glad I've overcome that hurdle and can start working with my mentor teacher and kindergarten students #acuedu_p
“On tough days and good days, celebrate the small wins... helping just one student is enough, everything small or big matters”. This statement from the Week 8 Lecture really resonated with me #acuedu_p
Online groups are such a great way to share teaching resources and tips! Stumbled upon this site on my Facebook feed exploring changes to our planet over 40 years. Would be a great resource to link to sustainability.

looking through my previous practical work has made me realise just how much I have learnt, and all the standards I have met in my practical experience without even realising it. The end of my degree is truly near! #acuedu_p
I would love to learn more about communicating with parents, and simple methods to communicate with them. In my last practical experience teachers, parents and children used apps in order to communicate with each other. I would love to explore more avenues #acuedu_p
The most significant thing I have discovered about transitioning into the profession is the amount of professional learning and reflection that is undertaken by teachers. It is such a vital aspect of teaching to ensure all standards are being met #acuedu_p
I found this great podcast about classroom management and the importance of adopting a proactive rather than a reactive approach. I have found it super useful when writing my Personal PLP! https://t.co/AFN2gwUYkV #acuedu_p
In today's tutorial, we explored project-based learning and the many benefits of this approach for student learning and engagement. I am very excited to incorporate this learning approach in my future career. #acued_p
