Glenys has highlighted this quote in the JuLS Term 2 newsletter coming soon to your mailbox...
"Classroom conditions should facilitate learning… while in itself not enough, a print-rich physical environment is important." (Effective Literacy Practice in Years 1 to 4 p. 78)
This blog is a great place to share some photos of print-rich physical environments in your school - classroom, class library and school library...
Uploading a photo to the blog is easy - when you are writing your post, look along the toolbar at the top of the beige box to the picture icon "Add image" and upload a picture from a file on your computer - just check it isn't too big first (8 mb maximum size).
Looking forward to the virtual tour :)

Just wanted to share this awesome book I used for teaching, use of imagery, character study and prediction. Winnie the Witch by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul. The kids loved it and it provided alot of discussion.
ReplyDeleteMandy - you are a star ! So great to see your comments coming through... Winnie the witch is an enduring favourite - there are quite a few in the series now and they have also been produced as a junior chapter book format which would be a nice transition for kids in your class having been introduced to it... Have you been to the website ? The doorhangers are quite fun.
