A little about me! ✨♥️💭 My #aplayfulintr

A little about me! ✨♥️💭

My #aplayfulintro inspired by @aplayfulpurpose !! ♥️

My wheels are turning for how to use these #aplayfulintro videos or captures with your learners!! @joysofkinder would be a neat way to capture part of our identity inquiry. 💭

Could also be a great way to intro yourself virtually for students or families or part of meet the teacher!! So many ideas! 🤩

Thank you @aplayfulpurpose ! ♥️

These LEGO base plates are on of my FAVES! 🤩 They can be an amazing addition to your individual bins or smaller group play, or whatever safe play options your are considering. ♥️

They used to live in our LEGO corner. They would be for everyone to use and then during parts of the year the children would choose one to use for a certain amount of time or a specific project. ⭐️

When not used for isncidual play they make incredible houses, levels, cars, you name it! 😐

When used for individual play they’re amazing for math, to design your bedroom, showing their understanding, for storytelling, for stem challenges, for free play, and more! ✨

During June, we did individual supplies and these were so great to have in everyone’s bin. They had their board with a big handful of LEGO. 👍🏽

I will certainly be doing this again for September. 👩🏼‍🏫

*The LEGO board are from Strictly Briks on amazon and work with the classic LEGO that I have. 🙃

This book is SO cute!! My friends @amackay17 and Marcy suggested it to me.

This year more than ever, creating a community family where everyone feels safe and welcome is SO important. 🥰

RELATIONSHIPS! RELATIONSHIPS! RELATIONSHIPS! 🗯📣

Consider how you make them, what will that look and feel like this year. Perhaps we don’t know yet, but we can consider it.

This book is a lovely addition to every classroom library. ♥️✨

How do you put relationship building first in YOUR PRACTICE?! ⭐️

Three more beautiful books to weave into mine and

Three more beautiful books to weave into mine and @joysofkinder ‘s identity inquiry. These three are powerful in empowering learners to believe THEY CAN and will one day with persistence, trial and error and through positive thoughts. ⭐️

I Believe I Can ✨by @ladygracebyers is a beautiful story full of positive I can affirmations and connections to experiencing life.

Jabari Jumps ✨by @gaiacornwall is a sweet story of a little boy working up the courage and self-belief to try something new and challenging. It highlights connections with his dad and mindfulness strategies to keep trying even when something is challenging.

The Magical Yet ✨by @angeladiterlizzi is a magical story about growth mindset, trying new things, finding the special friend “YET” who will help you out. Kids will love this YET friend to help them, I think!

Please share your favourites for teaching growth mindset, grit, persistence, feeling brave, and trying new things! We’d love to add them to our list. Thanks! ⭐️

***** I am not going to delete this post, because I don’t believe that deleting or erasing my decisions or choices shows learning, growth and understanding. I recently learned and was informed that RICE is not the best choice for my sensory play. It is viewed as sacred and a very important substance in many parts of our world. Using it to play is offensive to many and also wasteful (food). I am thankful for this new information and won’t be making more. I sincerely apologize if this hurt or offended anyone.

Thanks to this community for teaching and sharing in kind and respectful ways that empower us to learn, change and grow. ♥️ *****

RAINBOW RICE SENSORY PLAY! ✨🌈

Thanks to @aplayfulpurpose for this awesome sensory bin idea. I’ve learned lots of tips, tricks, ideas and more about the WHY behind sensory play in her SENSORY MEMBERSHIP! 🤩

This isn’t just for teachers, parents of littles too!! @aplayfulpurpose does videos, tutorials, inspo ideas, included TpT products! So good. 🥳 *Hence these awesome alphabet cards.

Check my story for more about RAINBOW RICE play and how I followed @aplayfulpurpose ‘s suggestions and played around with making individual bins for the kiddos(covid free style). 😅

I have to admit I am a bit scared of the sensory bin mess, but am hopeful and eager from all the tips I’m learning.

I also loved pairing the bin with my peg dolls from @islandpegdolls ! 🥰

Do you love sensory play? What are your tips for me!? Please consider sharing.

Interested in @aplayfulpurpose ‘s membership?! Dm me or comment below and I’ll give you the deets as it’s opening up mid AUGUST!!! 🥰

How do you honour, document, share out and celebra

How do you honour, document, share out and celebrate questions, curiosities and wonders in your LEARNING ENVIRONMENT!? 💭💭💭

I love using our wonder wall. We spend time learning about what it means to be curious, to wonder and to ask a question. 🧐

Throughout the school year we document our wonders. At times we share them in our research booklets, other times on @padlet and sometimes on our wonderwall. ⭐️

This wall also celebrates that every child is part of our learning community and that their voice matters. ✨

How do you document, honour and celebrate your learners’ curiosities, questions and wonders. I’d love to hear your ideas or past experiences with this. ♥️♥️

*Wonder Wall set up: We take curious pictures, print them on 11x17 paper, use laminated thought bubbles and voila!

✨⏰ 1 MIN PD!!

MANY of you asked for back to school, start up, September provocations and books. Here are a few I use in those first few days. ⭐️👉🏾

Sparking connection, starting conversations, exploring learners’ prior knowledge and welcoming all! 🌻

Some more on the heart warming side but you always have to have the funny ones too! 🤣♥️

What are some of your FAVE welcome to school books?! Please share. 🥰
