Rainy Day Classroom Games

April 18, 2012 by Christie

As I look out my window on this wet and dreary day, it got me thinking about what I used to do with my cherubs on days such as this, when indoor play was called. A great tip is to have some board games and card games for varying ages on hand. A ... Read More about Rainy Day Classroom Games

2020 has been a year! A year of unexpected change! A year of challenges! A year of learning!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a parent, I want teachers to know that we see you and all you have done for our kids this year. We value the work you do and the care you give. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even in the toughest year, you have made a difference.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Over the years, I have learnt that there’s one thing we can’t get more of or earn...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏳ Time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I first started teaching, I would spend hours on a single lesson or topic, detailing every step of the teaching and learning phase, identifying assessments and creating resources to go with it. I thought that if I had amazing lessons it would show I was an amazing teacher.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it wasn’t until I was audited I realised just how much more to teaching there was, and that one good lesson does not a good teacher make! Through my years of teaching at a variety of schools and settings, I have been fortunate to see and experience what great teachers do. Over the years I’ve created a set of systems and processes that have allowed me to make deep and meaningful connections with students whilst ensuring I’m meeting all my legal obligations - and then come home and be present for my family!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My aim now is to help beginning teachers learn how to balance their professional responsibilities, make connections with their students and still have quality personal time. I want to share my experiences and the systems and processes I use. I want teachers to cater to individual needs with confidence. I want to reduce the overwhelm so many teachers feel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

With a new year comes a new curriculum. And with that comes the headache of planning out your year, terms and weeks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if you get a jump on it now and look ahead you’ll thank yourself later. Start by looking at the syllabus and identifying what you need to teach. Align this with your school plan and create your yearly overview. Then create a more detailed breakdown of each term. Then that overwhelming task will not seem so unobtainable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Clip cards are such an easy activity to add to you

Clip cards are such an easy activity to add to your learning centres - and what better time of the year to use them then Christmas!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clip cards are low-prep and easy to implement. Students love using them as it feels like a game, and they also provide opportunities to build up fine-motor skills. They’re also a great fast-finisher activity and can easily be stored and organised (an A-type teachers dream).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep your students engaged and make learning fun during the Christmas period using these Christmas Count to 10 clip cards (available in both my TpT and Web Shop).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At this time of year, it can seem like the to-do list is growing rather then shrinking. But you need to prioritise and do what’s important and look after yourself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few years ago I suffered a major break down - physically and mentally. I was trying to do it all. And while it was tough, that time showed me what I valued most and what I needed to devote my energy too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all have our different breaking points. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. Don’t measure yourself off others. Don’t let one bad day keep you down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re a beginning teacher and you are overwhelmed by all that is in front of you, just know that we’ve all been there and that you are not expected to do it all. Doing your best is all anyone can ask of you - and it is enough! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Courage does not always roar. Sometime courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I will try again tomorrow”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sunday was a special day for our family, as Lachlan made his First Holy Communion. We hope that as he grows, he is surrounded by people that love, support and guide him and give him courage in life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you're like me, you have already started to get organised for next year. These book work expectations posters are a great addition to your classroom. Enlarge them and display them at the front of the room, so your students are reminded of how their books should look. Print two to a page and have students stick them in the front of their books as another reminder.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM me to learn how you can download these for FREE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
