I have some kids who will be working on this this week.
Chinese New Year is almost here
These packs are all about creating an understanding of a Chinese New Year - the traditions, the symbols and the zodiac.

Read to Self - Day 2
My grade, our grade this year are AMAZING!!!!!
Read to Self on our second day was 25 minutes.
The day before Stacey (my teaching team buddy) and I explained that they had a job tomorrow to impress us with READ to SELF
DID they ever!
They came in - sorted their bags, organised their book box and just got down to business.
We have Year 3/4 an the Year 3 kids were part of my Year Preps and they have had 3 years of Daily 5 d they got on with it.
The investment we made as a staff has paid off.
It was like - do not wake a sleeping baby - we got to 25 minutes and stamina was gold.
Tomorrow we map out our anchor chart......I think we will be seasoned pros at this.
Love my room this year
I have put off posting pictures of my new space as I have been waiting for our new whiteboard to be installed.
This week will be our first full week back after summer break.
I am team teaching with Stacey this year and we have Year 3/4.
Her and I have come from the 5/6 team and will miss our 2014 team, but change is okay.
Still a little messy - but my teacher space with Six Traits posters behind my desk.
Here is the start of my Word Wall and Learning Intention area. There are my interactive notebooks on the shelf
Anecdote Books waiting for notes......
Daily Plans and Interactive Books ready to go
Clocks are ready to discuss the school routine
Daily 5 prompts ready to have anchor charts attached
The all important Cafe posters for the Cafe Menu are up. These kids will have had Daily 5 and Cafe for the past 3 or 4 years already. I taught so many of them in the first year of school (Prep or Foundation)
Classroom jobs are organised too
Mailboxes and conferencing cubbies
Word Work wall ready for lists
Writing prompts and story wheel
I will post more this week as we settle into the space.
