These would be fantastic to include during my prac and in my future classroom

Today I was able to visit the school I will be teaching at for my 6-week prac. It was wonderful to meet my supervising teacher, learn about the class, be shown around the school as well as meeting other teachers! Excited to embark on this teaching journey! #acuedu_p

[Stephanie Connors @stephconnors4]

It’s so important to find things that we can be grateful for during this time. Would love to do something like this with children regularly #acuedu_p

Music and creativity have been such a fun hobby and activity that has shaped part of my teaching identity. I’m looking forward to sharing my creativity with students and hope I can play songs like this with my ukulele shown here ☺️🎼#acuedu_p

@madilakeman @JessicaPiperata and I just completed and presented our conveyor belt science toy for our Science unit at Uni for a stage 2 classroom! This toy enables exploration of non contact forces, twisting motions and friction in our physical world. #acuedu_p

What a great opportunity to enable children to explore livings things in their environment and participate in hands on learning! 🌿#acuedu_p

On Thursday afternoon I successfully hosted my first zoom session where I had 20 children in our OOSH join fun Kahoot quizzes I created. It was very enjoyable and am thankful that many of the children were able to connect with one another through fun Kahoots! #acuedu_p

Today our class discussed effective communication strategies between teachers and parents. Recording every type of conversation that is had with parents is a great strategy to use. This enables teachers to refer to previous conversations and continue supporting students #acuedu_p

On my previous yr 5 and 6 practicum, my teacher used a simple deck of playing cards to extend and allow students to practice mathematical concepts, such as multiplication. Here provided are some great card games available for the classroom #acuedu_p

Today we created a hypothetical timetable for a Government School. It was challenging trying to fit in all the required hours for each subject. #ACUedu_p

[Stephanie Connors @stephconnors4]

Looking forward to using this for my final practicum and future teaching #acuedu_p

Thinking routines are fundamental in promoting the development of student thinking within the classroom. Here are some great thinking routine templates that can be implemented to challenge your students thinking https://t.co/w0jKC19xHm #ACUedu_p

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 almost-mission to the moon! What a ‘out of this world’ learning opportunity for students to discover in their Earth and Space unit for Science and Technology🚀🌙 @NASA #acuedu_p https://t.co/DxtenQWsUk…

As Easter is fast approaching, here are some fun Easter activities to create and enable children to learn the story behind Easter! #acuedu_p https://t.co/l2uP6LBccc and https://t.co/EWBLUVTyOc

I love the learning opportunities that baking brings! Children can learn about whole numbers, fractions, mass, volume & capacity, temperatures - and even discover how science is linked to baking! #ACUedu_p

[Stephanie Connors @stephconnors4]

My 12 yr old brother recently shared how encouraging and informative @BehindTheNews have been in sharing info about COVID19 and balancing this with good news in a child friendly manner.
If children feel concerned or want to be informed by global news, watch BTN!

[Stephanie Connors @stephconnors4]

On a zoom group chat, we discussed this strategy and believed that this would be a great tool to use in our classroom for differentiation. Thanks for sharing Emma! #acuedu_p

[Emma Cullen @EmmaCul90057249]

Found this idea on instagram for allowing students to self reflect and extend their writing. It's called a 'Bump it up' wall https://t.co/pgb9GzGSce

With many children participating in online learning across our nations, small physical and gross motor activities throughout the day can positively affect the way children learn at home. Here is one strategy I have used at OOSH and adapted to the children’s interest #acuedu_p

[Stephanie Connors @stephconnors4]

We did something similar to this on my prac #acuedu_p

[Miss McKenzie @isabel27888063]

This boggle wall has been my saving grace for fast finishes and as a class activity after our literacy rotations! My competitive streak can't help but participate and it's inclusive of my newest non-english speaking student who creates words in her own language 😃 #acuedu_p

[Stephanie Connors @stephconnors4]

In class today we explored some effective strategies to undertake formative assessment during lessons. One I found effective on prac was using paddlepop sticks with the children’s names as a randomiser! Find more attached in the link #acuedu_p
