Resources!!!

I am trying my damn hardest to do programming. One problem I still don't know for certain what class I will be teaching. All I know is it's year 3 or year 4. But no class list, and no knowledge of what they have already done makes this task very difficult. Not to mention, I haven't met them yet, I don't know their learning styles, interests etc.

I've been digging up my old resources. I've come across so much stuff I forgot I even had. If you're a Sex and the City fan, and you know about the shoe closet... I not need no shoe closet!!!! Give me a resources closet and I will rule the world (slight exaggeration but I'll be very happy).

Learning can be fun, and if you have the imagination, motivation, energy and means to do so... make some resources to use in the classroom. Think of all the benefits :D

• Including the children's interests.
• Increase motivation to learn.
• Social benefits (board games)
• Significance (utilise relevance, e.g. Aussie context)
• Plus it's just plain fun. I LOVE learning and for me this element helps to convey this love to the children I have taught :)

I'm in the process of making some Maths board games right now. Will post pics when I'm done! For now, an example of some other Maths board games I have made up (Instructions are on the back, in case you were wondering).
