Kaitlin Quinlan

@KateBeverley1 You’re very welcome! It goes so fast, you’re almost there. Best of luck for your teaching journey!

My kids are loving going through our hands-on literacy stations each day. Here are some activities we’re doing tomorrow! #kindy #literacy

Beginning to feel like Christmas in my classroom. Can’t believe how fast this year has gone! #kindy #christmas

Ss loved planning then designing a house for the 3 little pigs using 3D shapes we have learnt about this term. They had to make sure that the house wouldn’t fall over when the Big Bad Wolf came knocking and that the 3 pigs would fit inside. #acuedu_P #kindy #maths

Ss loved looking in this ‘mystery’ box to discover where nocturnal animals live! #science #kindy #acuedu_P

Have loved the different thinking routines we’ve been working on this term in kindy. The kids are starting to get the hang of it and asking deeper questions! #history#RE#science#kindy

Ziplined at the top of Queenstown today then Reggie enjoyed picking some fresh pears at Wannaka Station Park 🍐 #Reggiesadventures #NZ

Rode bikes through Arrowtown today before seeing the Autumn Festival parade. #Reggiesadventures #NZ

Walked along Queenstown Hill yesterday and had to stop several times, was a bit steep but definitely worth it! Today we walked around Hayes Lake. I still can’t get over how beautiful this country is! #Reggiesadventures #NZ

The family is starting to get involved with placing Reggie in our photos. Reggie was spotted playing hide and seek and checking out some mushrooms on the Lake Sylvan track today. #Reggiesadventures #NZ

@alanaawilliams Thanks Alana, enjoy 2 weeks off school! x

@KM_Quinlan KQ are going to LOVE this!! 😂 have a good trip x

Winds were so strong in Queenstown we had to land in Christchurch for the night. Day 2: Reggie made sure we were safe on the plane then was so excited when we finally landed in Queenstown! #Reggiesadventures #NZ

Told my Ss our class teddy Reggie was coming to NZ with me over the holidays. Already having a bit of fun taking photos of him on his adventures and haven’t even left Australia yet. #Reggiesadventures #NZ

@Davo452 Thanks David! So glad it’s holidays now though :)

@KM_Quinlan Congrats on your first term of teaching Kaitlin!

3 words to describe my first term of full-time teaching: exhausting, insightful and rewarding. Has been an incredible term of learning for both me and the students, so excited to have made it to the holidays! #kindy #acuedu_p

To revise our letters and take more ownership for the learning tools in our classroom, Ss created their own letter page to contribute to a class book #phonics #kindy #AcuEdu_P

Found this link to this teachers website. It has some great ideas for teaching short vowel sounds #acuedu_p missgiraffesclass.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/short-…

Happy Easter everyone! Hope the Easter Bunny visited #kindy #acuedu_p

Friday is aight word and letter revision day in kindy. My Ss love working through stations being ‘sight word detectives’ and ‘experts’. Made a monster for them to use tomorrow too, hopefully they like it!! #kindy #literacy #acuedu_p

@alanaawilliams Glad to hear! Hopefully was a good ‘first kindy’ experience for you then :)
