@jodiharben Sorry to hear. I hope he recovers quickly. Take care too.

Please know everything is ok. Husband is stubborn but certainly ok and where he needs to be xx

Husband taken to hospital late last night via ambulance in a pandemic is stressful enough without the added layers of now dealing with return to school earlier than expected. Perspective sometimes helps xx

@NarelleLynch1 Maybe not yet……They are still great for learners to practice their decoding skills leading to orthographic mapping for fluency!

@SarahTrestrail @JustinCaban_ @training247au Wow!

My kindy kid can’t wait to get back to school. Apparently I make him work too hard 💁🏻 When he’s not rolling around on the floor, he has amazed me with what he has produced. Lots of schema building, modelling, talk 4 learning and explicit instruction. @training247au @JustinCaban_

@Nanabarb99 Sometimes students try to leave the room so the door needs to be closed for safety.

@Nanabarb99 It’s often not that we don’t want to. Sometimes in new style buildings they don’t open. We don’t have fly screens. Sometimes we have students with special needs who try to put parts of their bodies out the window. Sometimes they are so stiff it is very hard to open them!!!

@KylieSibley16 @Seesaw So do I

@MaralynParker @TESOLoz Yes we certainly DO want them!!

Schools don’t want these ‘decodable texts’, but they are going to get them anyway (at a cost of over $4 million) How reading is taught NSW style -

@Leobeth Took a screenshot! :)

I think that’s evidence @DancyMelanie I can see some impact!!

@KindersRosehill @MissJosephsAU You are welcome! I loved visiting KN!

Thank you @DancyMelanie for helping KN learn how to blend their phonemes to read new words.

@Leobeth @MissJosephsAU @Mallika_Cl @missashcannon @MissRachelOBri1 Yes I was planning that :). I’ve done it.

Let’s add this to our stage TPL @MissJosephsAU @Mallika_Cl @DancyMelanie @missashcannon @MissRachelOBri1

David Steiner and Jacqueline Magee explain why practicing reading comprehension "skills" like "finding the main idea" is a really bad idea: bit.ly/2HiDYY6

Giant WOW on Danny Steele’s Reflections on Exceptional Teachers. So many beautiful descriptors of what it means to be an "exceptional" teacher. My wish for 2019? Let's bring Danny's words to life where it counts most! #G2great steelethoughts.com/2018/12/reflec…

@sherwood379 Yes!

2019 should see more buddy classes. My stage 3 students enjoyed helping yr 1 with their PBL this year. Creating Models and teaching them how to make iMovies.

Great Kinder summary of why we teach sport!! Thanks iPLAY! @Leobeth @iPLAYprogram

@KristineStubis @56MRosehillPS @rosehillps Wow!!

@56MRosehillPS @rosehillps Great work 5/6M!

So proud to share our #pbl projects this morning - students designed houses suited for particular biomes! Well done! @rosehillps

@aliceleung Just a thought. Does the school have a polo shirt and culottes/shorts available as part of the regular uniform rather than only a dress? These are great for active play at school.

Thanks everyone for your tips on school uniforms. My current plan is to get 2 dresses and 1 set of sport uniforms for Miss 4 and try to pick up a third dress second hand.

I think this is worth reading. My perspective and practice of teaching beginning reading has changed this year due to some PL and a lot of related reading. fivefromfive.org.au/the-three-cuei…
