Awesome Storage & Holidays

I love being productive on the school holidays! We put up two hooks to store our gardening tools and rakes/ brooms easily along the side of the house. Talk about freeing up some space and making it very tidy! :)

We also cleaned up both of our sheds. One of them is a dedicated camping/ children toys/ kiting/ bodyboarding equipment shed and the other is gardening/ tools/ general yard items.

It's lovely knowing when we go to use something how well organised it is! I nearly cannot wait until we go camping or bodyboarding and have to go into that shed! :)

We often are building something or renovating or gardening so are always in this shed which is why it ends up being the messiest! 

I am in the middle of creating a few TpT/ TN items so I will post back VERY soon! 

Ten Frame Clip Art - 20% Off

After seeing so many ten frames filled out with counters across the rows rather than down columns, I NEEDED to make this right! 

These ten frames are the CORRECT format due to the developmental sequence of counting as they learn to count in two’s (developing patterning; rather than 1 to 5 then 6 to 10) and also learn the array model using this position i.e. 3 twos are 6 by the positioning of 6 on the ten frame. 

This is a set has 133 high quality png files to use for commercial, personal, and educational use. It varies from white with black counters to 12 different counter colours as well as one black outlined counter to colour in. 

The files themselves cannot be resold in a clip art/graphics package, but you may use the images commercially if they are used/ embedded in your lessons. 

They are 20% off in my store for a short time! :) Make sure you go grab a bargain! 

ooOo April Currently :)

I always become so excited for the beginning of the month and its all because of Farly's over at Oh boy its 3rd Grade! :) Each month she has an awesome currently so go check her out if you haven't already.

I always forget about April fools because  quite often in Australia we're on school holidays at the time. 

Sooooo now to my currently..... 

Listening: Big Bang Theory is always on at 7pm until around 8:30pm in Australia so now The Block is over, I tend to have it on in the back ground :)

Loving: Being on school holidays! Today we went to my Mums and my husband and I put up a tension wire extension around her deck and increased her fence height because she has a gorgeous new greyhound called Tessa!

Thinking: I love gardening when it isn't too hot! I managed to get a sunburnt back on Sunday because I didn't realize it was that hot! :( Cannot wait until our corn and lettuce grow! Our passionfruit vine has flowers and baby passionfruit! VERY excited.

Wanting: More sleep! I know its holidays but I cannot help but stay up late and work on TpT items or school work for next term!

Needing: Plan ahead for next term! eeeiiiiikkkkkkkkkkk

Advice: Always be true to who you are no matter who puts you down or wants you to change yourself <3

UPDATE - FREEBIE Easter Co-ordinate, Graphing, Ordered Pairs Pictures

My last blog post about my FREEBIE Easter Co-ordinate, Graphing, Ordered Pairs Pictures I promised I would upload some photos of my students work when they completed the task themselves! 

On the last day of term we never have anywhere near the attendance rate we should! Mainly because it backs onto a 2 week holiday and most parents want to get away on holidays earlier!

So I KNEW my kiddies would love this (even though they're year 9 but also because earlier this year we looked at gradients, equations and plotting points), so this was a great and simple review and they LOVED IT!

They spent so much time making their images beautifully presented as you can see from the pictures!

I have also UPDATED my FREE Easter Co-ordinate, Graphing, Ordered Pairs Picture on TpT to contain TWO Easter themed plotting images! 

It now has the above image over the four quadrants from -8 to 8 for your little ones who can plot on the whole Cartesian plane.

FREEBIE Easter Co-ordinate, Graphing, Ordered Pairs Picture

Nothing is better than a fun Easter Math freebie to help your little ones enjoy plotting co-ordinates/ ordered pairs! :)

This cute little freebie focuses on the first quadrant from the origin to x=15 and y=15.

 I look forward to using this as a consolidation activity with my year 8 and 9 students in the last lesson of this Term :) 

I will post photos later in the week!

It contains:

• 1 blank Cartesian plane
• 1 set of Easter co-ordinates/ ordered pairs to plot
• A partially completed basket to check student progress 
• A completed, coloured in and decorated Easter Basket! 

 I'm happy to create this over four-quadrants from -10 to 10 if anyone asks for it!? :)

HUGE Classroom Labels Pack 20% off Back2School

It was a MUCH more relaxing start to the year because I did all the hard-yards last year with preparing MOST of my word-walls, labels, headings and Math displays for my classroom! :)

Storing them neatly was my biggest problem but I've since found a SOLUTION! Grouping word walls/ spelling words/ months/ conversions into envelopes with a description on the front cover, and standing them upright in a shoe box fits just perfectly! :)

I decided to put together all of my word-wall labels along with a WHHOOOLLLLEEEE lot of other useful classroom labels to be used!

20% off for a short time too! :)

Because the thumbnails are so small, this 143 page document contains:
-   Months of the Year (Single Word)
-   Months of the Year (Single Word with image)-   Days of the Week-   Ordinal Numbers (Words First to Thirty-first)
-   Ordinal Numbers (Numbers 1st to 31st in rectangles and circles)-   Alphabet (Upper & Lower Case in circle, rectangle and square)
-   Alphabet (Upper Case in circle, rectangle and square)-   Group Name Cards (Group 1-8)

FREE Area Dominoes - Review in my Classroom

Year 9s are currently working on area, area of composite shapes, volume and capacity.

Since one of my year 9 classes require more support and engaging activities, I decided to use my FREEBIE Area of Square, Rectangle and Triangle Dominoes to review how to calculate the area of basic shapes that should have been covered in year 6 (covered, just forgotten)!

I differentiated this activity by making students show their calculations/ working out! :)

They LOVED working through this activity where they could work in a small group, share the 'working out' responsibility and collaborate to solve the problem!

It is always amazing to hear so much math-related discussion/ arguments happening in class!

 

You can download this FREEBIE Area of Square, Rectangles & Triangles here at my TpT Store!

Easter themed domino cards, question cards, recording sheet and matching activities!

March Currently

Listening: In Australia we have a show called 'The Block' which happens to ironically be on at 7 O'Block each night. Seeing I LOVE renovations, I cannot help but sit down each night and watch four different couples/ teams try to renovate a heritage listed property in Sydney. SOON it will be over and I will be free from 7-8pm.. What will I do!?

Loving: I have been blessed with absolutely stunning classes this year. They aren't without their individual flaws, but they all work very hard, ask an abundance of questions and want to go well! :)

Thinking: This year I am once again running tutorials at Griffith University on Thursday evenings in Mathematics for students completing the Grad.Dip in Education! I have no made my plans, emailed students and uploaded it onto Blackboard.

Wanting: I've not been able to sleep in for the last 9 mornings, and cannot wait until Saturday & Sunday where I CAN, hopefully, sleep in past 8am! :)

Needing: As teachers we ALL need time :)

Like, Love, Hate:  I bought a new exercise bike that lives upstairs in front of the TV, air-con and can be easily moved around so I can position it while I exercise and move it back when I'm finished. I've used it twice since I bought it 3 days ago so woooohoooooo! Excitement is always a great energy booster, however exams that either I am doing or marking are always energy drainers, and there's PLENTY of exams to mark at the moment!!!
