Attended Dr Bill Rogers’ Behaviour Management for Beginning Teachers seminar today with my work colleague and fellow ACU alumni @asma_merchant_. Such a valuable experience, and feeling very grateful to be working at a school supporting my professional learning! #acuedu_p
@maddietucker_ We do a sound craft (for example jellyfish for j) where they colour, cut and paste independently. We also have sound letter tracing activities and cut and paste pictures matching the sound (jumper and jelly for j)
We welcomed 3 baby chicks and 12 eggs into Kindergarten today! Over the next two weeks we will be observing the changes they undergo as part of the ‘Living Things’ science unit.
Today we made Oobleck in Science Club! Discussing viscosity, it was amazing to see just how knowledgeable these students are about all things Science! #acuedu_p
Working closely revisiting SATPIN with our lower group of Kindergarten students this week. The emoji code reinforces the sound each letter makes whilst relating class work to the real world which we know is full of technology and emojis these days… #acuedu_p
Found this over on instagram, and thought it was worth sharing. Aligning differentiation together with the gradual release of responsibility model. Something I will be keeping in mind heading into Term 2… #acuedu_p
Visiting the easter show yesterday with @Miss_Spiteri_ we found some useful fire safety resources including these super cute fireman hats which I am adding to the dress ups box for the kids. Online resources can be found here: https://t.co/M6bosAwqzW #acuedu_p
Do you ever get stuck choosing students to read or answer questions? This is the perfect strategy in choosing students at random… and it’s a bonus if you don’t know all their names. Using this strategy also ensures all students are focused and on task! #acuedu_p
I have enjoyed sharing stories and experiences with my peers over the last 6 weeks of EDFD452. I’m looking forward to learning more about parent interactions over the next 6 weeks. #acuedu_p
For all the final year students who took on full time positions for term 1. I reflect on my term before week 11 of term 1 and the growth I have made as a teacher has been incredible! #stillmoretolearn#acuedu_p
An interesting method of managing classroom interruptions- students silently use hand signals to indicate what they need, and the teacher can simply nod yes or no. It avoids the verbal ‘I need to go to the toilet’ and the 100 other ‘me too’s that follow. #acuedu_p
