'Your one stop shop for ENGAGING, AUTHENTIC ideas to keep your students busy, and schools wanting you to come back. Resources that are easy to use with links to some amazing websites and a host of free resources.'
Teaching is one of the most creative jobs I know, even after 30 years of teaching I realise that every day is different. You may be teaching the same subjects and grades, but it's children that make teaching both the challenging and rewarding profession that I have known.

Do your students enjoy mindful coloring? Do you like to display positive quotes around your room to discuss with your students?
This 24 page set has beautiful intricate designs, accompanied by quotes for you to discuss with your students.
A mandala coloring page is a proven calming, and meditative coloring and art therapy. A Mandala coloring page is fun and provides a great way to relieve stress and relax.
These designs can be used with pencils, watercolor pencils, gel pens, crayon and look stunning if a rainbow wash is applied all over the finished pieces.
I encourage you to use the quotes as a talking point and a teachable moment as there is a lot to be gained by shifting the mindset of the students in your class.
Quotes included in this pack are:
It’s not about being the best, its about being better than you were yesterday.
Believe that you can and you’re half way there
I CAN train my brain to do this
Today a reader, tomorrow a Leader
Quitting is not an option
Whether you think you can or think you can’t. You’re right
Just because you haven’t found your talent, It doesn’t mean you don’t have one
Don’t quit your day dream
You can think you’re awesome, without thinking you’re better than Everybody
You can be the SUNSHINE in someones day
All things are DIFFICULT Before they get easy
I haven’t failed, I’ve just found a lot of ways that don’t work
Get ready. Get set. Learn!!
Mistakes make a difference
Courage is like a muscle, We strengthen it when we use it
Every mistake you make is PROGRESS
A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop
We learn from failure not sucess
A good attitude is contagious. Pass it on
Failure is not the opposite of success. Its a part of it
Don’t let a failure be an ending, Make it a beginning
I’m not going to tell you it’s going to be easy. I’m going to tell you it’s going to be worth it
Never give up
If “Plan a” does not work, remember, there are still 25 more letters

Subitising is the instant recognition of patterns of shapes to be able to determine a number. There are many different ways in which we all see these patterns and they are a lively discussion topic for any primary grade class to determine how we interpret these displays of dots.
I encourage you to view this dot number talk by Jo Boaler in one of her many inspirational presentations https://vimeo.com/129139086 where she works through this concept with a middle primary group of students.
This download comes with both a PowerPoint presentation and a PDF version with 27 slides/pages (including credits and terms of use).
As the slides increase in difficulty the students transfer their knowledge from class discussions and can readily determine a quite complex display of dots on a page.
The graphics are engaging and visually inviting for students with some wonderful clipart from Manny's Sketchpad .
A useful addition to any Maths Teaching resource kit for primary school teaching.

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool.
Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool and they can be used to support orientation, which is particularly useful when children and families are not able to be on-site.
Teaching children how to ask a question only once is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed.
As educators we always will say things like, “wait’ or “You asked that just a moment ago.”, however we need to explicitly teach these skills.
This story can be used to help children to develop skills so that they can learn to function and integrate with other children in the classroom and other social settings.
This collection can be used for classes from Kindergarten to year 8 as I have tried not to make them to babyish in order to suit the needs of a wide range of students.
•Pages that you choose can be printed back to back in order to save on paper. Be sure to print ‘fit to size’ for best results
•I have included a ‘2 to a page’ version which you can also print back to back as a way of saving more paper and creating a half sized memory book.
•Students may like to draw a picture of themselves in the star on the front page or you may like to include a photo of the student.
