What is your learning style?

7/19/2021

0 Comments

 
Have you ever thought about how you like to learn? How do your students like to learn? Is there one or a few styles they are predominately drawn to?
This is part of the exploration I have done at the beginning fo the year when students join my class to figure out their best learning style. It's always something interesting to think about and view. 
Picture
Im not the creator of these learning styles - there is lots of literature and evidence online about these styles and which are more popular than others. Some literature authors state there are only four main ways; some say seven; I even read somewhere about nine. These seven are ones that I have worked from this year over 2021 and placed my students into. I always ask parents when students start where they think their students might prefer. 
Download this pdf chart if you feel this might help you unpack the learning styles of your students too!

Types of Play in your classroom

7/19/2021

0 Comments

 
My play in the classroom has definitely been through drastic changes over the last two years. Trailing things, making new classroom resources, looking into best practice and making contact with teachers across New Zealand on what they do. 
In getting set up with play in your classroom, its always good to check in and see what type of play your students might be engaging with. 
Picture
This can be easier said than done as students quite often chop and change in their play during their play. For example, while observing two students play last term, these two started off as parallel play. They were playing with the car toys parallel to each other; with no engagement or interaction with each other. One student then went off to play with the dinosaurs (solitary play) and the other student simply was an onlooker - watched them play but didn't join in. Then one of these students got out the magnetics and they both were then engaged in cooperative play. Students can switch and change where they need to and for the play that benefits them.

Its definitely something to think about...
What type of play are your students engaging with?
What type of activities promote which type of play in your classroom?
Can you easily spot students that are unoccupied or as an onlooker in play?
What could you do for them?

No cook playdough recipe

7/12/2021

I trialled a new playdough recipe which I would love to share with you! It is a no-cook recipe that doesn't involve any heating or cooking. My daughter made it today by herself - with the only help I needed to provide was with the kneading after it had the boiling water. 
It can have essential oils added to it for amazing scent and take the sensory play a little further!
Picture
I've tried a few different recipes at home for playdough and this one has been mine (and my daughters) favourite. Super simple and it was ready in about 10 minutes! Could whip up a few different colour and scent batches for a provocation or to add to your sensory play! Download the pdf with instructions here!
