Our passport to Y7 gives pupils in Y6 the opportunity to write information about themselves as part of their transition to secondary school. It should be printed as an A5 booklet. It allows children the opportunity to reflect on their achievements at primary school and at home, with a section for them to complete looking forward to the exciting transfer to their new school. This could be used at home or at school as part of the transition process. Pupils could also attach examples of work that they are proud of as part of their passport, and ultimately share the completed document with Year 7 teachers, to help build relationships in their new setting.
I am all done with parent conferences and it feels great! I had the most terrific year and I’m so happy to share my students’ progress with their parents. During parent conference time, I always love to have lots of student work to display. I absolutely love to incorporate student pictures into student work. This ...

These teaching slides compliment the Multi Age 3-6 Year A Mathematics Sample Unit 17 released by the Department of Education found here. Attribution is given to: © State of New South Wales (Department of Education), 2023. This is a perfect time saver for you and your classroom. Have smooth transitions between lessons. Please note: that due to copyright licensing, little prep may be required on your part as I am not able to insert all resources into the teaching slides. I will provide prompts within the slides to ensure you know exactly what resources need to be inserted and on what slides to ensure that the flow of your lesson is fluid and seamless. What's Included: An entire teaching slide with interactive games and thought provoking lesson content. Additional activities to support teaching and learning content. Links to online interactive games to enhance student engagement. Educational videos and songs attached and linked within the slides. Learning Intentions and Success Criteria for each lesson. This is just one of many for the entire year!!! Take the stress out of planning and organising. Walk into your classroom feeling organised and prepared to teach your lesson. About the slide setup for Multi Age Units: As this is a multi age unit, often parts of the lessons or resources are relevant to either Stage 2 or Stage 3. To make this discrete, or easier to identify, I have used the following animals to assist. The koala icon identifies all Stage 2 content and resources. It was chosen as it is an animal that climbs height of the trees, yet also journeys back down to the ground on occasion. This symbolises building on the groundwork and foundations of Maths to develop deeper knowledge and understanding. Therefore, Stage 2 concepts will be identified by the Koala. The kookaburra icon identifies all Stage 3 content and resources. It was chosen as it is an animal that flies to new heights but also rests on branches of the trees at times. It symbolises extending on what they know, but also coming back to the foundations they were taught to consolidate their learning and then build upon it. Therefore, Stage 3 concepts will be identified by the Kookaburra. Unit Overview: This unit develops the big idea that multiplicative thinking involves flexible use of multiplication and division concepts, strategies, and representations. In this 2-week unit, students are provided opportunities to: use patterns and array structures to support multiplicative thinking (Stage 2) apply knowledge of multiplication to estimate, measure and compare area (Stage 2) apply knowledge of multiplication to measure and compare volume using the row, column, layer structure (Stage 2) select and apply appropriate strategies to solve multiplication and division problems (Stage 3) estimate and measure areas of rectangles and composite shapes using square centimetres and square metres (Stage 3) recognise the relationship between the dimensions of a prism and its volume to calculate volumes in cubic centimetres and cubic metres (Stage 3). This multi-age unit is informed by the lessons in Stage 2 Year A Unit 17 and Stage 3 Year A Unit 17. Please refer to these units for additional lesson guidance.

It's that time of year! Back to school time (even though I know some of my bloggy friends have been back for a couple of weeks now.) While you may be in a district that wants you to hit the academics hard core from the first day of school and cut out "fluff", there's nothing fluffy about a cohesive classroom. And you can forget good things happening academically when nobody can get along. Do you hear me administrators? I think it's a wise idea to spend some time helping your students learn to live together in a room that gives everybody about one square foot of personal space. So here's a little collection of some fabuloso ideas I found through the wonderful world of blogging. Here are some great ideas to get your new friends talking to each other, working together, and thinking about what a successful classroom looks like. 1. Talk about how to treat each other. Tales from a Tidy Teacher shares a lesson using Finding the Green Stone by Alice Walker. She gives each student a shiny green "stone". They plan how they will keep their stones shiny all year. I think this would be a great anchor lesson to refer to all year long. Here's a post from Mrs. Robinson's Classroom Blog. She has a different question each day to get kids thinking about their role in the classroom. Your actions are who you are. When things were getting cranky in my classroom last year, we worked on this activity. We planned out the words that we would want our principal to use when describing us. Then we planned out the actions that would get us there. 2. Talk about words and what they can do (for good and evil). I love love love this poster. It is from Sweet Blessings who also happens to be the genius behind Technology Rocks. Seriously. I had it printed as an 11x17 on glossy card stock ($1.50 at Office Max). I referred to it all year long the last couple of years. By the second month of school, all I had to do was say, "THINK before you speak" and they knew exactly what had gone wrong. Yes, Mrs. O Knows will convince you that toothpaste and toothpicks will teach kids everything they need to know about words. I tried so hard to find the original source for this one. Please leave a comment if you know where it came from. Cause it's awesome. 3. Have kids work together in a fun way. Who wouldn't want to save Fred? This is a great team work lesson from Fabulous Fourth Grade Froggies. This one's from Science Gal. Now tell me that doesn't look fun? And because the best way to learn that the world does not revolve around you, have your kids perform RACKS. Random Acts of Classroom Kindness. Here's an idea from 3rd Grade Thoughts. There are tons more great ideas out there on this, too. Have kids work in teams to plan out some RACKS for each the classroom, other students, and staff, too. And now for a little giggle: Hope you have a great school year!

Therefore, Stage 3 concepts will be identified by the Kookaburra. Unit Overview: This unit develops the big idea that fractions represent multiple ideas and can be represented in different ways. In this 2-week unit students are provided opportunities to: explore equivalence and multiplicative relationships of fractions (Stage 2) represent fractional quantities equal to and greater than one on a number line (Stage 2) make connections between fractions and decimal notation (Stage 2) make connections between benchmark fractions, decimals and percentages (Stage 3) compare common fractions with related denominators (Stage 3) solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with related denominators (Stage 3). This multi-age unit is informed by the lessons in Stage 2 Year B Unit 36 and Stage 3 Year B Unit 36. Please refer to these units for additional lesson guidance.

I absolutely love teaching middle school. Sometimes, though, when people hear that I teach middle school, they seem to feel bad for me. Like middle school is some type of unknown vortex for kids. Maybe that's why I love it so much. It's a time of creativity, instability, and the unknown. It's a time
