Exit Busy Term 3 and Enter Exciting Term 4!

Well, Term 3 has come and gone, and it has caused a sensory explosion! We have seen, heard and learned a great deal from: Leanne Regan, from the "Association for Children with a Disability", who supplied us with some great teaching strategies and understanding; and Megan Dredge, who converted us all to believe in the "Power of Me". (With Megan's "All in a Day's Work", we were treated to a long, hard look at ourselves, and the endless possibilities of future employment by just going that "extra mile", and investing in the right "tool kit" containing the obligatory: warm and friendly personality, passion for teaching and knowledge of how to teach well.) How simple is that?

So, what is the next step? Well Lynn, a friend of mine (a truly passionate teacher), told me about Anthony Browne's "Voices in the Park". I jumped online and watched a YouTube clip of the book; it was amazing and opened up numerous "what if?" possibilities for me with my own teaching. This "picture book" was a visual delight, and the message contained within its pages was overwhelming. 
 (If you get a chance, read it!) It is exciting when shared information bursts into waves of 'great ideas' for teaching.

Your amazing new teaching idea is just around the corner; watch out for it. 

Have a wonderful and exciting Term 4!
