I love this idea of monthly homework activities that actively involve the parents and students. It's even better since they're moving away from the traditional pen and paper or question and answer worksheets! Homework should be fun and different every day #acuedu_p

Teachers who put #relationships first soon discover they don't have students just for one year; they end up having #students who view them as 'their' #teacher for life.

One reason why I love casual teaching! Gathering ideas for my own future classroom 😍 #acuedu_p

Kindy loved the scavenger hunt activity in maths. Students had to find shapes around the classroom and sort it into groups. They were so proud that they asked me to take a photo to send to their class teacher. #acuedu_p

@Davo452 Will do David!

@MDeleonAU Good advice Mikee - enjoy your casual day!

Just a few things I bring on a casual day! ✔Books to read during crunch & sip ✔Fast finishers task cards ✔Teacher for a day by Kelly Quilter (if no day plan has been provided) ✔'While you were out' sheet for the class teacher ✔Post-it note & pen (in every bag) 😂 #acuedu_p

Year 3’s amazing DIY Father’s Day cards. Found these ideas on Pinterest and the students loved it!!! #acuedu_p #FathersDay

People who aren't or don't know teachers think teaching is easy. It is the challenge which makes teaching satisying. Making a difference in one student's life makes the challenge worthwhile. #ACUedu_p

Successful first casual day with Year 6! You know you've done well when the students request for you to be their regular teacher 😂 #ACUedu_P #teacherforaday

@ben46k @EduTweetOz The best decision I have ever made Ben! I just can't wait to finish my studies this year!

@MDeleonAU @EduTweetOz How desperate are we??!! Really hard to find casuals at the moment! Welcome to the best job in the world Mikee!!

Dropped off my resume at my old primary/high school today and was asked to casual teach tomorrow! A coincidence or great timing?!#acuedu_p #blessed #superexcited #firstcasualday

@ben46k @EduTweetOz Thank you for the suggestion Ben! I am roughly 30 minutes away which I don't mind the distance.

@MDeleonAU @EduTweetOz If your close to Liverpool, Sydney, Heckenberg is a great school!!

@Davo452 Thanks David! 😁

@MDeleonAU All the best Mikee. I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience.

Holidays have finally arrived! Will miss my little monkeys! 😁 #acuedu_p

Establishing a good rapport with each student has helped me personalise 27 bookmarks. Each one created based on what they love! Will try my best to hold back my tears tomorrow 😆 #ACUEDU_p #studentgifts #endofterm2

Walked into the classroom to find new furniture in place this morning. Let's see how the students will react today! #AcuEdu_P #surprise

Exploring symmetry this week #ACUEDU_p

I had a great time at the bush trackers excursion with stage 2. Students were encouraged to think and act like scientist at Werrington Lakes for the day. Definitely a great site study to explore biodiversity, Aboriginal culture and connection to Country #ACUEDU_p #stage2

Making some decorations for the school disco 🎉🎉🎉 #ACUEDU_p

If you’re in need of inspiration, my best advice to you is to talk to some kids. Genuinely get to know them. In my experience, an awareness of how cool they are... an understanding of how needy they are... reminds me of how important my work is. It motivates me to keep going.
