Reflections at the End of Day - These End of Day Questions are a great way to reflect on the learning and experiences that your students have had during the day. There are 36 prompts to use. As your grade leaves the learning space, they are a perfect reminder of what has happened during their day. Use the recording booklet during the term and watch the growth in reflection for each student. You decide how many pages to put in your booklet and you may do one for each term or for a topic you are working on. The pack contains photos and instructions to set this pack up to work in your room. At the end of each school day, taking time to ask thoughtful questions can spark meaningful reflection and deeper learning. Questions like ‘What was the most interesting thing you learned today?’, ‘What challenged you, and how did you approach it?’, or ‘How did you help someone today?’ encourage students to think critically about their experiences. This practice not only reinforces lessons learned but also fosters a growth mindset and a sense of accomplishment. Reflection through questions transforms the day’s events into opportunities for insight and growth. Reflections at the End of Day will help to set a positive tone in your learning space.

Craft poster – “All about Me’ with instructions on how to create the face for display Pages available for 2019 – 2027, plus a blank page Print and go section Facts about my family task A selfie or two… My best selfie My best friend Facts about me Understanding what your grade likes, dislikes, and finds interesting is crucial for creating a positive and engaging environment. To begin with, knowing your peers’ interests makes communication smoother, as it provides common ground for starting conversations and sharing ideas. Moreover, this understanding strengthens relationships by helping you show empathy and build trust with others. Additionally, recognising what your classmates enjoy enhances collaboration. When everyone feels included and valued in group activities, teamwork becomes more effective and enjoyable. For example, tailoring discussions or projects to match shared interests increases engagement, making school activities more exciting for everyone. On the other hand, being aware of what your grade dislikes helps you avoid conflicts and create a more respectful environment. This knowledge fosters a sense of harmony, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and supported. Finally, understanding unique preferences celebrates individuality and diversity, allowing everyone to feel appreciated and included. In conclusion, taking the time to learn about your grade’s likes, dislikes, and interests strengthens connections, boosts engagement, and fosters respect, making school life more meaningful and enjoyable.

There are two ways I have used them. The first method; notice when a student is doing the right thing and allow them to choose a coupon. They can then decide when they use it. The second method; is when I see a student showing the values on the raffle tickets they get a raffle ticket. At the end of each week, I draw out between 10-20 raffle tickets. Some students hold onto the Raffle Tickets and choose not to go in the draw. When they get their name drawn out they swap it for a coupon. I do not laminate the Raffle Tickets as the students write their names on the back for the drawing out on Friday. I do laminate the coupons. Both ways have been effective in my room.

Voice Level Poster Pack - The noise level in every classroom is different for each learning space. As teachers, we have different expectations for our grade. Whatever your noise level use these effective voice level charts and spinners to let your grade know what to expect and how to talk or not talk! Our Voice Level Poster Pack contains charts that display • All voice levels • Voice levels with explanations • Voice levels with no explanations • Circle charts • Large spinner for display • Small spinners for individual students to have on their desks as reminders Why use different voice levels in a classroom? Using different voice levels in a primary classroom helps maintain an effective and engaging learning environment. To start, teachers use a calm, quiet voice during instructions to signal focus and encourage attentive listening. Similarly, students respond by lowering their own voices, creating a peaceful atmosphere for learning. On the other hand, louder voice levels are appropriate during active discussions or group activities. For instance, students may use enthusiastic voices when sharing ideas or collaborating, fostering creativity and energy. Meanwhile, teachers guide the volume to ensure it remains manageable and purposeful. Additionally, whispering can be helpful during partner work or independent tasks. This quieter level allows students to communicate without disrupting others, promoting both collaboration and concentration. Transitioning between voice levels signals a shift in activities, helping students adapt and stay engaged. In conclusion, using a variety of voice levels, guided by the needs of the activity, creates a classroom environment that balances focus, collaboration, and energy effectively.
