Children learning about what things they think plants need to grow strong and healthy. Year 1 have been planting their own seeds and are learning about living and non-living things. #acuedu_p
I just put these prompts up today. I had used these hand signals as a form of student self-assessment in my last primary practicum experience, and was so excited to implement this strategy moving forward with my new class! #acuedu_p
Today year 1 created this map on the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’. This text brought back so many of my own memories. Absolutely loved teaching this and we had great fun then sequencing images of the story. #acuedu_p
A great way to establish how to transfer information into graphs for year 4 students. Start by tallying a collection of responses, and then creating a class visual representation #acuedu_p
Today members from across the state sent some strong and powerful messages to the government. Thank you for making May 4 too loud to ignore. #MoreThanThanks
This week Kindergarten students used their fine motor skills to practice cutting out small pieces of paper to outline their name and name recognition. #acuedu_p
Ready to achieve some more teaching goals and to overcome some existing challenges during term two! Casual teaching is loads of fun but is full of such rich learning experiences! #acuedu_p
One aspect I would like to further explore within this unit, would be how to positively working with parents during parent teacher Interviews. #acuedu_p
The professional development plan I created for assignment one has encouraged to me think about the importance of professional learning, particularly for when I start teaching. Within this unit, I have also learnt some good techniques on how to construct a good rubric #acuedu_p
While casual teaching in a kindergarten classroom, I saw these 5 L's for learning (look, listen, lips, lap and legs) visual posters. I thought this was a great way to encourage students to display appropriate behaviour when they are using the floor space. #acuedu_p
Providing checklists for students are a great strategy is completing their work correctly! It is a gentle reminder and they look forward to ticking the boxes. #acuedu_p
Assessments are used to plan for future lessons and to gather information about where a child is at in their learning. Assessments are important so that teachers can target student learning and goals allowing them to extend their thinking. #acuedu_p
