Here
in Australia, we have just started our final term of school for the
year. This means that we have about 10 weeks until our summer break
commences. It is a fun term for us, filled with lots of exciting
activities for our students to conclude their year of learning.
It
is, however, often a term that can be stressful and busy. I have teamed
up with some online Australian blogging friends to bring you some tried
and tested teacher tips that you can implement now (or begin to plan for)
to make this term easier to manage.
These
tips are simple and relatively easy to implement. Keeping things
simple and practical is one effective strategy for easing classroom
craziness.
So, what's my tip?
An end-of-year events calender!
Sounds like common sense but it can be an absolute life saver for yourself and parents!
My amazing teaching buddy sends home to parents a calendar that clearly shows important dates for the last few weeks of school. I think it's a brilliant idea and will be doing with my class this year. The end of the school year can be pretty crazy for us teachers but it can also be pretty stressful for parents, too. There are often many events and important dates to remember in the last few weeks of school and a calendar is the perfect visual to keep track of all of these.
