Over the last two days, I was lucky enough to attend a staff spiritual retreat. It was such a peaceful and relaxing time. What an experience! #acuedu_p
What a great and fun method to use for students to differentiate between dollar and cents and learn how to use money. They seemed to enjoy this activity. #acuedu_p
Fine Motor Literacy Activity! My students really enjoyed this activity during literacy rotations this past week. Students use their fine motor skills to stretch the elastic bands in order to match the pictures to the words ✏️
The attendance tree is a great way to give students a job they need to do at the start of everyday and makes it easier to double check the roll! #acuedu_p
The other day, I used various task cards to test students maths skills and this particularly one was called the probability spinner matching with fractions game. #acuedu_p
We can’t control the environment our students were in prior to coming to school.
We can, however, control the environment they experience once they arrive to school.
Due to NAPLAN we were out of our usual classroom and the students could work outside in the sun! ☀️The kids loved the change of learning environment and worked so well! #acuedu_p
In today's tutorial, we looked at teacher-parent interviews and scenarios. I found it very inciteful and helpful with the different ways we can deal with these scenarios if they were ever to occur. #acuedu_p
Presented a 40 year service certificate to this wonderful kindergarten teacher, Shanthi Vishwanath at Ashbury PS. Amazing service for the Dept. When asked how long she might go on, the talk was beating the 60 year service mark. Passion and dedication personified. Congrats Shanthi
Just got an email from one of the Year 4 teachers, I had the other week saying "Where's Mr Martin? We haven't seen him in a while." I only had them for 1 day. This teaching thing is pretty cool! #acuedu_p
Over the last two days, I have been the 'Music Teacher'. It has been exciting to get out of my comfort zone and be able to sing and dance with Early Stage 1 and Stage 1. We sang and danced to some songs from The Lion King and The Little Mermaid! #disney#acuedu_p
