Weekly teacher whines over good wines ... ok don’t worry we do try to keep it positive! Educators, parents and maybe even you kids alike will love the chats we have.
Kia ora educators and parents! In this episode we look at what the research is (or isn't) telling us about Modern Learning Environments and their impact on achievement levels of children.
I draw on 3 peer-reviewed published research cases from the last 5 years:

Join gorgeous second year teacher Bree Moller for St Joseph’s school in Kaikōura, New Zealand. Bree chats openly about her highs and lows being a first year teacher, shares practical tips to get you through your first few weeks and reflects on how she kept herself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthy. I also learned a new word “JOMO” and I am actually in love with it. You can find Bree on instagram @weebree123.
A trigger warning that in this episode we do mention the Christchurch earthquakes.
Bree refers to the marigold and walnut analogy in the podcast. This website is where it comes from:

Hey gorgeous listeners! This podcast is for teachers and home-school educators who want some fresh takes on activities for beginning the school year.
In this episode I offer 5 new ideas:
-
Vision boards for goal setting
-
Visual Mihi
-
Family and Class Photo Mural
-
Birthday with Maths
-
Height comparisons with Maths
Each of these ideas can be used with or without ICT, draw on home-school partnerships and link back to the tamariki. They are also great activities to underpin the mahi (work) you are doing to create a classroom culture.
I would love to know if you have any ideas yourself so please feel free to share. If you try one of these ideas please tag me on @lifestyle_thekiwi or email me teacherwinesnz@gmail.com
Cheers!
