Targeting all your students in class can be tricky - especially if you are covering a few years in one class like I do. I am more conscious of targeting students at all levels and are using a three level progression for my learning intentions and activities for students to aim at a level that works for them. Why do this? Well then all my students can be stressed, pushed and promoting their own further learning independently. I can guide them to what I think is a good progression for them. But ultimately it is setting them up for their own success!
This other resource which I created are these progressions for student and teachers to use - to move from a beginner level to an advanced level. Easy to follow and shows the user how they can improve each time. A great classroom prompt for your classroom. Download the pdfs below.
This year I have made an active point to include play into my classroom. Teaching Year 0-3 students, it is part of our everyday learning to build on those key skills and learning opportunities. I have a few things in place that work towards this - sharing a few of these below in this post! Call it what you want, playful, play-based, learning through play is an amazing aspect to have in the classroom. Learning through play is a pedagogical approach where play is the valued mode of learning – where children can explore, experiment, discover, and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways. Learning through play is also called play-based learning. - NZ Curriculum TKI
Looking to get started and need a few ideas? No worries - get in contact! With New Zealand going back into lockdown, many teachers are back to using distant or online learning to keep the learning happening. Part of the first lockdown we had here, I shared info on how to create your own sticker books and stickers for Seesaw and motivational rewards. These can be updated each day or based on the activities students complete and be a way of keeping students involved or interested in their learning. I have created a video below on how to find and access past Seesaw sticker books; with links to how to create your own sticker book using my template and sticker templates. This second video is of the amazing new update to Seesaw! You can now link directly to Seesaw activities for students to complete without having to go through the activity portal. Before it was hard to get students to complete activities online by simply talking about where to go, how to access it and using visuals as prompts. Now you don't need that - you can generate the student link and share it with them directly. They get taken straight to the activity to complete and then can fill it in! So easy and handy. Check out my video showing you how to do it!  This weeks freebie of the week are these anchor charts to help students use a wide range of vocabulary instead of commonly used one! No more said, happy, long or slow! Spice up their lives with some new vocabulary instead of using those common words! This resource includes 21 commonly used words with replacement or other words they could use instead! Display this in your classroom on the wall, by group tables or as prompts for students to refer too! Exciting for new things in your classroom that can help students extend their ideas or make them more interesting! Download it below!
These provocation ideas are split into four categories - sensory, cognitive, pretend and fine motor. Each of these can be easily implemented in your classroom with what you have and the needs or interests of your students. Of course this is not a finite list, but something I am using to make sure I meet each of these play areas for my students. Download this list as pdf below, along with this other freebie of some pretend (dramatic) play ideas too!
Students then get a copy of the exact same whole class 3 star slip for their work. This will be attached to their evidence or work done, and be highlighted or annotated to show how they achieved it. There is a space for teacher comment too. These are exact copies of the whole class ones being created so there is consistency and opportunities for reflection and further learning. These templates I have made are fully editable so find the link below, make a copy and then you will be able to edit them and use them in your classroom!
To align with my assessment teacher book, I created an overall tracker online. This is made on Google sheets, for you to be able to make a copy of and use (as is) or edit to add your own information in. This can then be printed off and used in your classroom or folder; or as a digital online version. This is free so make a copy of it for yourself at the bottom! 
 Discovery and explore charts are a great addition to your classroom. These can be used in lots of different ways whilst exploring a new topic, new wonderings, questions students might have or around a discovery or exploration table. These come with the headings 'discovery' and 'explore', and have different versions to suit students and ages. Some have a table to help keep ideas in seperate places, some free space, wonderings pages, question pages and KWL pages.
