Do you have a few awkward minutes to spare at the end of class?

Use that time to build a strong classroom community! https://t.co/sb3LQRmOLY

Say, “Hello!” 😃 A study found that when teachers greeted their students at the door, academic engagement increased by 20 percentage points.

A little gift for my Kinders to celebrate my last day of my final placement!! 😃🎁 #lastday #woohoo #ACUedu_p

At the end of each week I've been giving my students the opportunity to reflect upon what they have learnt in maths - I then turned their reflection drawings into a class book for the students. It was a joy to see how proud they were to see their own work published! 📚 #ACUedu_p

So many fun ways to incorporate movement in the classroom - will definitely be trying some of these with my wiggly Kinders this week! #getupandmove #brainbreaks #ACUedu_p

For National Reconciliation Week, Kinder did an inquiry about the Acknowledgement of Country and the Aboriginal flag. They had fun making the flag using paint and handprints! #ACUedu_p #reconciliation #handprints

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

Teachers need more than the theory, they need to see it in action. We need to make time to let teachers see each other teach! #teachergoals

learning to share a collection of counters “lollies” and create equal groups using our blank dice. Really works wonders! Love hearing my students thinking out loud! #Mathematics #Kindergarten #ACUedu_p #proudmoment #share #equalgroups

Keen to try using @plickers as a formative assessment tool with my placement class next week #ACUedu_p #plickers #finalplacement
