@Miss_GRiley I have used Smiling Mind myself but I didn't know they have a program available to be used in schools! Is this a program that the schools apply for or is it able to be accessed directly by teachers? Thank you so much for sharing!

"I feel relaxed and ready to learn now". This was said by a student who participated in Smiling Minds after lunch. As a part of Healthy Heads, Healthy Hearts. Meditation Monday will focus on meditative strategies to help students relax & control anxiety. #EDUC4750 #SDG3 #UoNTeach

Great podcast! "What starts with our hearts connects to our minds". Define Youniversity has fantastic podcasts on professional and personal strategies for mental health. I will be using the strategy of affirmation decks in my Healthy Heads, Healthy Hearts project. #EDUC4750 #SDG3

Today I trialled a theme of my project 'Wednesday Workout'. The children loved it and became active participants of their PA levels and created a fitness circuit. The construction linked to the KLA English, Procedural writing and Maths, counting and measurement.#Educ4750 #sdg3

@Gabmaree That is a great idea. I may include that as a activity in my project. Having the mirror permanently set up in the classroom is a great way to continually promote the importance of positive self-talk and affirmations.

@Miss_GRiley What an amazing resource Grace! I will be implementing daily affirmation cards within my classroom. I find them to be just what the students need, especially on those hard days. Maybe you could provide a positive affirmation mirror for you students? 🤔

Positive affirmations, help children to use their inner force to tell them, I CAN. I have begun a daily affirmation in my casual teaching to help develop and foster a growth mindset amongst the students. How can we inspire children everyday to be their best selves?#EDUC4750 #SDG3

@BellaWightman Definitely after lunch. I find the children are always either restless or distracted when coming back into the classroom. After lunch is the optimal time to settle them to a place for focused learning.

@Miss_GRiley Smiling Minds is an amazing meditation tool! I find the more we do it, the more students look forward to meditating each day. Do you think there is an optimal or most appropriate time for meditation in the classroom?

Smiling Minds is a meditation tool that teachers can use in the classroom. Smiling minds creates effective learning environments, self-regulation in students emotions and optimal concentration levels for all learners. Have you used SM in your classroom? #EDUC4750 #SDG3 #UonTeach

COVID-19 will continue to affect the mental health of all school communities. It's important that we all remember that we are going through it together. Children need positive affirmations now more than ever. Thank you for sharing this evidence based research @Courtney229498.

@samjl138 @wildsidenat What a fantastic way to engage the students. Workshops are a brilliant way for the students to learn practically. Even more so when it promotes critical thinking and problem solving.

It truly is inspiring to see the teaching of such relevant lessons in regards to #SDG15. Practicality is a great tool for students to learn effectively, just like @wildsidenat have done with their dam building activity. What are your thoughts? #UoNTeach #educ4750
Wildside Nature@wildsidenat

Had a great day running our “Earth Forces - Natural Disasters” workshop with the brilliant learners @bualnaluib today! We moved liked tectonic plates, tornadoes & tsunami, built dams to stop flooding and worked as geologists identifying how various rocks had formed!🌪⛈🌊🌍#STEM

It is motivating to read such a rich text that aligns similarly to my attitude towards teaching #criticalliteracy in the 21st Century. The journal echoes the importance of teaching students to critique multiple perspectives in order to become world citizens. #educ4750 #UoNTeach

A similar type of excursion would be great for the unit I am teaching in regards to #SDG15. Teaching students the importance of sustainable actions to halt the degradation of our land is a top priority of mine, particularly in my unit. #UoNTeach #educ4750

Our Yr 8 Applied Learning today took us to @westsyduhie WSU Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment with workshops at both the NVPCC and EucFACE. Amazing learning from the experts. @NSWEducation @mccallumtp @LeanneNixon #partneredlearning #agstemfutures

@samjl138 Wow! That is an alarm statistic. What a great way to incorporate history into your project. You could get the students to think about a specific area from 100 years a go and a 100 years in the future.

"The world has lost 100 million hectares of forest from 2000-2020". Very alarming. I can't stress the importance of teaching students about #SDG15 enough. Our students are the answer to sustainable ecosystems. Visit: sdgs.un.org/goals/goal15 for more info #UoNTeach #educ4750

@samjl138 Great resource Sam! What a great way to hook and hold the students when you first begin your discussion on sustainability. The video is a great way to cater for all of your students and spark those rich classroom discussions.

Here is a short informative video that depicts what life on land is all about. Presented in a format that is simple for primary S to understand that will inspire discussions on sustainability. Something to consider when teaching #SDG15. #UoNTeach #educ4750 youtube.com/watch?v=P-vXJ3…

Choose kind words. As apart of my project I will be having “Talk about it Tuesday” and “Thoughtful Thursday”. Which will focus on using positive language to shift from ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’t yet…’. Allowing the students to learn about a growth mindset. #educ4750 #sdg3 #uonteach

What a great daily planner! I would use this as a whole class activity everyday after a lunch break. It is a fantastic way to improve overall health and wellbeing of the students. As well as keep everyone accountable for looking after their mental health.#EDUC4750 #SDG3 #UoNTeach

The Mental Health Activity Calendar: What a fantastic resource to implement in the classroom! This can be targeted each day to ensure students are provided the opportunity to work towards improving their overall health and wellbeing. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG3

@BaartzAbby @PlayCraftLearn WOW! What a great use of TPACK. Minecraft education is a great ICT resource. In regards to SDG15, a digital city could be created and the students could then design ways to minimise the amount of waste.

What a great way to use ICT in a classroom, @PlayCraftLearn is a great resource that can get students thinking about their impact on "Life on Land" in a digital way. How would you use Minecraft Education in your classroom? #UoNteach #EDUC4750 #SDG15
