Five for Friday

http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/five-for-friday-linky-party-october-24th.html
We had a pupil free day on Monday and one of the PD sessions was on the 10 Essential Skills.

I LOVE these!

It was a great reminder for us all that the 'little' strategies to address behaviours really do work.
My prac student finished up today, after a 3 week block with my class.

If you are ever given the opportunity, have a student teacher!

Sharing advice and giving suggestions to a learning teacher makes you realise how much you know and do for your class.
 
My lovely student teacher gave this book to our class as a gift.

If you haven't read it yet, do yourself (and your students) a favour!

It is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!

If you go to Oliver Jeffers' website, there are a bunch of activites to go with some of the books he's illustrated.
I have only 7 weeks of my school year left!

EEEEEEEK!

I'm excited to find out what year level I will be on next year.

This week we looked and learned about pollution. We did an activity inspired by Pinterest to show the kids exactly what pollution can do to water and how hard it is to undo.

Here's a sneak peek. I'm going to post about it tomorrow.
 Head on over and link up!

  3. I love The Day the Crayons Quit! I read it to my class and then had each student take on the role of one of the crayons. It was great for teaching persuasive arguments! :)

  6. Hi Shanyn! You inspired me to count weeks- only eight til winter break... not as good as summer break, but I'll take it over here in Michigan. And we do have Thanksgiving break in there, which launches us into the holiday season. See you around. Kathleen
