Lesson or unit starter ideas
The sort of things that those of us who have been teaching as long as me already know, but it doesn't hurt to have a reminder occasionally...

Problem-based Learning - 'real life' in the classroom
Very cool programme - I'm thinking about how I might be able to do the same to make my maths programme more 'real' and more effectively teach skills alongside strategies and knowledge.

From Didactic Pedagogy to New Learning
From the website http://newlearningonline.com/ - lots of information and ideas about modern teaching/learning practices - based on the book by Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope: New Learning: Elements of a Science of Education, Cambridge University Press, second edition, 2012.

Beginning of the year!
This year (and this week coming!) I plan to make use of these links that I have pinned on my Pinterest boards...mostly free downloads from Teachers Pay Teachers...
'All About Me' pupil info sheet - though I have had to twink and change the American spellings eg favorite into NZ's favourite etc - thanks Science Doodles at Teachers pay Teachers!
And some discussion points from this Hot Spot activity sheet thanks to Kristine from the Young Teacher Love blog.
We will be doing the "In Team Kahu we..." mural again, as I have a whole new team of pupils - let's set up our expectations right from the start!
'Parents' 3-2-1' question sheet - asking parents for info about their child - thanks LA Beach Teacher at TpT as well as asking them for their most appropriate contact information.
'Student Rights and Responsibilities' - gets everyone on the same page about the expectations in the classroom - thanks Angelia at TpT!
I always do What Kind of Teacher Do You Want? and so does Miss Freundlich, it works with any age-group and helps the pupils see that you are wanting to work with them as a team and will respect their opinions and needs.
And we look also at What a good pupil does, says, is and is not - here is Sarah's example.
We will build our own version of this Respect chart and also look at this How Big is My Problem chart.
I will be sharing a copy of Stephanie's poster of Glasser's What We Learn chart.
Star of the Week certificate - I've ordered this, printed with Team Kahu in the title - thanks Creative Classrooms!
'Uh-oh!' - a note pupils can take home with any work that they need to finish because they didn't do it during their allocated class time - thanks Sally at TpT!
Attention grabbers - you call out, the pupils respond - thanks Traci at TpT! I will be adding "To infinity..." (pupils call out "and beyond!") - sound familiar??
When talking about our learning and skills progression, I will share this Assess Yourself Novice-Expert chart and I also love this Which Step Have You Reached Today chart posted on a Lifetime of Wisdom.
We will also be referring to this Positive Self-Talking chart as shared by Elliott Seif.
For group work and partner discussions I will have these on display, as shown here by Tanja:
