Our twins were in preschool when I first heard them say things like, “I’m just not good at that.” Or “I can’t do that.” I remember feeling so disheartened. We’d made such an effort to encourage and emphasize growth and strengths in our home. I knew, of course, that adults have a strong negativit

To add to the free Preschool Filipino Worksheets Bundle Vol. 2, I’ve reworked a few worksheets on animals and added new ones. Below is the link to a 6-page PDF file that shows different animals labeled with the Filipino names for them. The animals are grouped as Mga Alagang Hayop (Pets), Mga Hayop sa Kabukiran […]
Set up a specific area for playful maths investigations at home or at school, to encourage plenty of open-ended play with a range of everyday materials.
To introduce my students to the concept of different materials (and that materials have different purposes depending on what they are being used for) we began with a hunt around our classroom. I wanted to see if students understood what “materials” meant and also how many different ones they could identify. I was impressed with […]

I'm super excited to be a part of an awesome product swap linky and GIVEAWAY!, brought to you by a bunch of very talented Aussie bloggers that I am very lucky to call friends! At the bottom of this post you'll find a link up featuring everyone who participated in the swap... do yourself a favour and make sure to read all the product reviews because I know you will find a few that you must have for your classroom. :) To make it even better, enter the giveaway for your chance to win ALL of the products that we have swapped! I was very, very lucky to have been paired up with the amazingly talented Mel who is the creative mind behind From the Pond as well as Graphics from the Pond... honestly, she is a one stop shop for classroom resources or graphics to create your own. I literally felt stressed choosing a product from her store, there were so many great ones that I didn't know what to choose! I finally decided on her Sentence Maker pack! This product immediately appealed to me for a number of reasons: 1. I teach Prep (Kindergarten), and the confidence my kidlets have with writing can sometimes be very low. This pack lets them experience success every time! 2. By using either the cut & paste, copy or write versions of each worksheet you can scaffold children towards independent writing. No more throwing them in the deep end! 3. Each sentence reinforces sight word recognition... bonus! 4. Same task, 3 ways = easy differentiation! 5. As soon as I saw the pages in this pack I knew they would be perfect for my Writing Corner. A few of my kidlets are desperate to spend time there independently working on some writing, but they just don't have the skills necessary to successfully write a sentence (or more) by themselves. As soon as Mel sent me this pack I printed a bunch of the pages and popped them in my Writing Corner... instant hit = happy teacher! Because this was a new format for my kidlets, I introduced it in Literacy small groups. Each 'team' completed the task based on their own ability levels. Some cut and glued, some traced, some copied! I only had to explain the task once, which was a bonus. :) We worked on the 'I see a mouse' sentence, because that fit perfectly with the sight words we learned this week! I love that there's a bit of cutting practise involved in this task... my kidlets this year need it! Assembling sentences is very serious business! Holding your breath and wearing funny glasses while tracing sentences is not necessary, but does make it more fun. :) And yes, we are working on this poppet's pencil grip. I am so glad that I got a chance to use this product in my classroom, because now I'm not sure how I ever went without it! Keep an eye on Mel's store because a little birdie tells me that there's plans for a few Sentence Maker packs with different themes - but I bet I snap them up before you do!! Because Aussies are such kind and caring folk, we thought it might be nice to share with you a freebie or two that you could use in your classroom. I'm going to share 2, one from me and one from my product swap buddy! If you've read any of my previous posts, you'll know that I am a huge fan of sensory play experiences for kidlets. I put together a collection of my favourite recipes for easy and fun sensory play in the classroom. Perfect to give to parent helpers to make at home, or for your own easy reference. Simply print and pop in a display folder! Click here to grab it for free! Match Me! is a freebie that I use in my classroom all the time! Mel provides ideas in the product pages... but most recently I used the cards as an awesome whole class activity. I shuffled the numeral, dot and word cards and handed them out to my kidlets. They then had to silently organise themselves in to groups of 3 according to the number they had. Of course, as I was handing the cards out I made sure that each child had a card they could decode. This task was perfect for a group of cherubs who struggle with a) keeping quiet and b) being problem solvers. :) OK, now time for the giveaway!! For a chance to win Mel's Sentence Maker pack, leave a comment on this post! I'll choose a random winner. Easy peasy. Even easier - for a chance to win ALL of the packs featured inn this linky, enter the Rafflecopter below. :) a Rafflecopter giveaway Not sure about you, but I'm off to check out all of the other bloggers who have linked up to share about some awesome products. I hope you find lots that you can use in your classroom! :) Lauren An InLinkz Link-up

Lets talk about provocations... What is a provocation? The options really are endless! Provocations are happening wether you come from a Reggio Emilia inspired centre or not. They are the questions we ask, the materials we put out, the music we put on...even we as teachers act as a provocation sometimes... Heres how Journey in Early Childhood defines it... Deliberate and thoughtful decisions made by the teacher to extend the ideas of children. Teachers provide materials, media and general direction as needed but the children take the ideas where they want. - Journey into Early Childhood I want to emphasise something here... The children take the ideas where they want... See, I was asked recently by a volunteer..."Do your provocations always work?". I was taken back by this...what did she mean by 'work'? Then she said, "I haven’t seen the children drawing crosses here"... What she didn’t hear was the conversation happening at the drawing table... Jayden: Hey Kalen, thats an X aye Kalen: Yeah, I don’t have an X, I have a K Jayden: Oh I have a J and an A and a Y and a D and a E and a N The two boys then began searching for letters around the room, trying to find them on the walls, in the artwork and documentation. The boys did not see a cross...they saw an X. They did not feel compelled to draw the cross...instead it became a point of discussion. I’ve talked about the childs agenda before but I think it is important to mention it in this case as well. We need to consider this when setting up our environment or when we ask a question to children. Do not pre-empty an experience and decide what will happen. If you come with an agenda you may tend to restrict children. Remember children express themselves through a hundred languages...take a minute to observe how they speak. Check out a few of our provocations... The children take the ideas where they want...
