Week 1 done!

Well that was a short week!!!  I do have to say I have enjoyed my first 2 days at school.  It has been fantastic to learn your children's names, and hear all about their fantastic and exciting holidays.

Kai-ora and Welcome to Room 7 (located in room 4).

I am very excited about the year ahead and getting to know you all better.  I hope you also had a very relaxing holiday and enjoyed doing all the wonderful things that can be done in summer.  I know I enjoyed spending time with my family, camping, swimming, eating ...

This week we have had a couple of teacher only days so I have now been introduced more to the LCN (learning change network) which relates back to technology in classrooms and ways to enhance learning together (for the students, teacher and parents).  I am super excited about the opportunity to be involved in this initiative as it is similar to one I was involved in at Maunu school which sees them introducing a blanket BYO device policy starting this year.  It also provides me with the opportunity to implement some of the digital teaching ideas I gained while completing further study in 2012.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries, questions or ideas you wish to discuss.  I am always happy to listen or answer any of your questions.
