Zones of Regulation

In this week’s recording I will be discussing the Blue Zone and the use of visual supports.  I will also be reading When I’m Feeling Sad by Trace Moroney.

Blue Zone

When I'm Feeling Sad by Trace Moroney

Fun with Mathematics

Have you ever thought about how often you use maths in your day to day life?  Telling time, home finances, cooking, general problems solving, shopping, and knowing when you are snagging a good deal, just to list a few.  Many students have the perception that maths is too hard, or they are just no good at maths.  As the adults in the lives of our children we need empower students to be persistent and embrace mathematics learning.  At home you can support your child with embracing mathematics by making it fun.

Use your next pizza night to discuss fractions.  Or when you are cooking ask your little mathematician to measure out the ingredients or collect the required number of ingredients or utensils.

Learning at home

Thank you for the efforts in persisting with learning from home.  This has been a mammoth undertaking by families and by the staff at Wondall. For the parents of students in year 3 – 6, I am sure you are on the countdown to May 25^th, as I am.  I am really looking forward to seeing the children’s smiling faces and hearing all about learning at home.
