All future posts will be there so please follow me at the <a href="https://thegingerteacher.com/blogs/the-ginger-teacher" target="_blank">new location</a>.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109243806509270261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739888705828027884.post-3608023711130990822018-11-21T16:10:00.004+00:002018-11-21T16:11:48.789+00:00Teaching Letter WritingOne of my favourite lessons to teach is letter writing. It really is great to get kids writing with a real purpose. I love that it can tied into other activities like researching the recipient and even a trip to the local post office. Writing with a purpose has been proven to encourage reluctant writers, and gives them a chance to put themselves into their work.
With this in mind here is my list of The best people to write letters to from your class.<br />
<br />
<u>1- The Royal Family</u><br />
Writing to the royal family is a great way to teach children about the monarchy, and in many cases they will write back which is very exciting for the class.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for the royal family" border="0" height="237" src="https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/entities/590x350/66.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<u>2- Other children in different countries</u><br />
Pen pals are still a strong tradition in man schools and connecting with children in different countries teaches many lessons about cultures and differences. Facebook groups and Twitter posts are an easy way to find other teachers who are interested on working on this with you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for classrooms around the world" border="0" height="237" src="https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_908w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2015/09/30/KidsPost/Images/2015-09-30T100435Z_01_PXP33_RTRIDSP_3_EDUCATION-GLOBAL.jpg&w=480" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<u>3- Famous Authors</u><br />
If children have a particular author they are interested in it can be a lot of fun to research them and then reach out and contact them. Many authors will take the time to reply or at least send autographs. Check out my collection of lessons on writing to <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher/Search:writing+a+letter+to+an+author" target="_blank">children's authors here</a><br />

<br />
<br />
<u>4- Someone local in power</u><br />
Learning about how local government works and is run is a very interesting topic to work on in class. Find out the address of local councillors and campaigners and ask them questions about how they are making changes in the local area is very engaging.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for parliament" border="0" height="266" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/House_of_Commons_2010.jpg/1200px-House_of_Commons_2010.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<u>5- Family members</u><br />
It can be nice to encourage children to write letters home. Parents often get frustrated with the lack of information children give them about classroom life, so a structured letter about the things they have been learning would be very appreciated.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
There are of course many more people your class can write to, spending some times collecting ideas together is a great way to start this project.<br />
<br />
What ever you decide to do, I hope you are all having a fantastic week!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109243806509270261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739888705828027884.post-22218514184279828962018-10-22T08:30:00.000+01:002018-10-22T08:30:00.344+01:00Another MondayGood Morning<br />
<br />
If you are on half term this week i hope you started the day with a long lay in!<br />
<br />
Today I am trying hard to work, I am really trying except it is hard to get into the zone this morning.<br />
<br />
I thought it might help to give myself some advice on how to get back into the work frame of mind!<br />
<br />
So here are my tips, they often help me I hope they help you guys too.<br />
<br />
1 - Get some motivation<br />
<br />
Everyone finds their motivation in different ways, for me I like to watch great people doing their 'thang' on Instagram stories. My favourite at the moment has to be <a href="https://kaysemorris.com/" target="_blank">Kayse Morris</a> who is fabulous!<br />
<br />
What ever makes you feel like you can go do it. Although this does come with a warning - A little motivation is great, if it is still an hour later and you are watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChDhriK1Ar625KyY7JdnT7A" target="_blank">Nifty videos </a>on how to turn your old books into bedside tables, you have gone too far!<br />
<br />
2 - Go for a walk<br />
<br />
Fresh air and change of scenery is great for focus. I need to follow this advice much more often. It can feel like stepping away from the computer is the last thing that will help get work done, but a break, just for a walk around the block, can do wonders.<br />
<br />
3 - Eat<br />
<br />
This tip is a tricky one as I know how easy it is to just munch, not only is it tasty but it gives you a legitimate reason to not get on with things. That said if I am hungry I cannot focus so make sure you have a full tummy!<br />
<br />
4 - Drink<br />
<br />
This goes along with the eating. Make sure you have a glass or bottle of water nearby when working. Just having it near you will remind you to keep hydrated! Our brains need hydrating to work!<br />
<br />
5 - Know when to shift focus<br />
<br />
If it really isn't working then it is time to shift gears. There are times when really nothing gets you into the right frame of mind and taking a break from it is the best thing. Go and do something more productive, clean out those cupboards do the ironing what ever takes you away from work but lets your mind wander.<br />
<br />
I hope these tips help you, now to take my own advice!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109243806509270261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739888705828027884.post-9342726323832666902018-10-16T20:17:00.001+01:002018-10-19T15:01:40.312+01:00Early Years Workbook<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I have to say I love Pinterest! It is my biggest time suck. I have <a href="https://www.tailwindapp.com/i/charleeiddon" target="_blank">Tailwind </a>to post my own pins (and a <a href="https://www.tailwindapp.com/tribe/join?d=eyJpdiI6IlZFaFNjdnd4Wng3cGg2cWI4a1ZYelE9PSIsInZhbHVlIjoiVkdFK2IrWDFnSk1QNU9uYXUrQ1FkUnk1MXF3NXNsZXpWUGJJQlMrbHNWM2hRZmplQ3FBelwvMlVkZUJpc2tqb3EzUWlDeTNkWTQ5Z0phM2phYkxUUTRXWjhodng4cnlLS0dseXo3Zit5dlRvPSIsIm1hYyI6IjEwNGUzOGIxNjBmNjg1YjI5OTMwOTg1YWY2ZjE1OWMzZjE4ZjY1ZTZlY2Y4YTA2YmFhNGNlMGJiMTE5ODU5YzYifQ%3D%3D" target="_blank">tribe</a> if anyone would like to join) but I can just open up Pinterest and suddenly it is an hour later and I'm looking at pictures of unusual avocado recipes!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxKcRuqigCa_1jyemg9qgZJBVLk_XivlhCw5wei_vPbZlRkIefpduXh5rsIoOi38oMOld3QkimD1lZEnT8ib513oNwqviegnTPi3sMzsYhyyETSCKuKJ4M5hSNUBOGHHA4_6nASIbvStG9/s1600/AvocadoBuns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="477" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxKcRuqigCa_1jyemg9qgZJBVLk_XivlhCw5wei_vPbZlRkIefpduXh5rsIoOi38oMOld3QkimD1lZEnT8ib513oNwqviegnTPi3sMzsYhyyETSCKuKJ4M5hSNUBOGHHA4_6nASIbvStG9/s320/AvocadoBuns.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(seriously who is making this stuff??)</div>
<br />
One of the things I have really noticed I do with Pinterest is to collect pictures and ideas of things I will never do! My boards are like a crazy wish list of beautiful homes I will never live in, food I will never cook and lessons I will never get to teach... Sigh<br />
<br />
All of this leads me to bullet journals. I love the way they look. I have a huge board full of great bullet journal ideas and I add to it constantly, the only trouble I have is actually making one. I buy the most beautiful notebooks and stationery, which would be perfect for a bullet journal, and then I tend to just kind of look at them....<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
(look it is just soooo pretty!)</div>
<br />
I don't know why this is such an issue for me but I have started to investigate digital bullet journals and I think I have found the perfect combination for me! I am too messy to make a pretty handwritten journal but my lists, ideas, goals and plans can easily be put into a digital version. For a detailed explanation and great tips I can highly recommend this <a href="https://lifeismessyandbrilliant.com/my-digital-bullet-journal/" target="_blank">blog post</a> over at <a href="https://lifeismessyandbrilliant.com/my-digital-bullet-journal/" target="_blank">lifeismessyandbrilliant.com </a><br />

Let me know if you use bullet journal handwritten or digital, I always love pictures and tips!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109243806509270261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739888705828027884.post-86446770958894653482018-09-24T11:21:00.001+01:002018-10-10T11:43:35.534+01:00The Three Little Pigs - Workbook<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
The crazy summer heat has finally broken here, and I have to say it is a relief! We aren't used to such temperatures in this country. With it being a little cooler I feel like I can actually get on with some work! Except.....<br />
<br />
I have completely fallen out of the swing of things. I don't know about you but if I stop doing things for a period of time (illness, summer hols, mad heat! Any reason) I kinda forget how to do it. I know the mechanics but I can't seem to get functioning! I need to finish my dissertation for my MA. It is due September and I am still writing it! I need to prep for the <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher" target="_blank">TPT sale</a> (coming on the 1st and 2nd of August EEEEEEEeeeeeee) and I really really really need to sort out my junk and buy some new clothes, this is getting a bit beyond sane now. So this blog post is as much for me as for you because we all need a reminder sometimes to just get on with it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher" border="0" class="irc_mi" height="239" src="https://can.org.nz/system/files/images/stop-faffing.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Ok so here are my tips for when you just feel like you cannot get anything done!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>1- Set a timer</b></h3>
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher" border="0" class="irc_mi" height="320" src="https://sites.google.com/site/intwalasgdsyhgrd/shutdown-timer/timer-icon.png" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="320" /></a><span style="font-weight: normal;">When it comes to my dissertation I tell myself silly things like 'I can't do it right now, I don't have my study brain on' but then, of course, it doesn't get done. So I set a timer for 15 mins and tell myself I will write for 15 minutes, and I just do it, it doesn't matter if it is not very good (that's what editing is for) I just need to add something to it. If after the 15 minutes I still feel like I cannot carry on I take a break and do something else but then make sure I come back to it and try again after completing a different task. I do this 4 times and then if I still am not getting anywhere at least I did an hour's work today and I can try and get more in the zone tomorrow. Set a timer guys! </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>2 - Help someone else </b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I need to redo a lot of my covers (<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Ginger-Teacher" target="_blank"><b>did I mention there is a sale coming?</b></a>). I can't seem to find the omph! However, a friend of mine recently opened her own TPT store! (She is fab by the way run over and follow her please! <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Platinum-Pedagogy" target="_blank">Platinum Pedagogy</a>) I helped her set up and get started, I gave her lots of tips and advice that I had learnt from making my own resources and in doing so it reminded me how much I enjoy doing this. It is fun I don't know why I have been putting it off! </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I have been binge watching Son's of Anarchy recently, yes I do realise how far behind the rest of the world I am, on top of that the latest season of 'Orange is the New Black' has hit Netflix! I really, really, really, would rather be watching these than doing the things I need to do. But I am strong! I do not get to see Jax getting angry at everyone until I have reached a goal, it might be 5 new covers, it might be writing 1,000 more words, what ever it is I am strict with myself and then when I get to settle down and watch it I am happier and not worrying about how much work I am not doing.... Well mostly. </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Have a great summer everyone :)</span><br />

With that in mind I decided it would be a good idea to have a little give away.<br />
<br />
<br />
To celebrate my new website I am giving everyone a discount code worth $5 at my store. This code can be used as full or part payment on any of my resources!<br />
<br />

This code is only valid until Monday the 16th of July so get your skates on!<br />

<br />
I have been crazy busy trying to redo my website - <a href="http://www.thegingerteacher.com/" target="_blank">The Ginger Teacher</a> for a while now and there are so many things I have overlooked!<br />
<br />
I seem to find a new mistake every day. Today, however, I discovered a pretty bad one! I had all my products set as physical products (everything on my website is digital download). Not only this but when people tried to download anything, even the free resources, they were charged $20 shipping!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
What can I say? I am so sorry lovely visitors to my site! Please come back I have fixed this!<br />
<br />
If you would like to take a look at some of my<a href="https://thegingerteacher.com/collections/all/free" target="_blank"> free resources</a> they are really free now I promise!<br />

Well hello!<br />
<br />
Sorry it has been such a long time since I posted, this time of year everything else seems to take over!<br />
<br />
Now over here in the UK there is still one week of term left until summer but for my lovely American friends lots of you are getting ready to go back! With that in mind I wanted to talk about setting your behaviour expectations from day one! So here are my helpful tips for getting off on the right foot with your new class.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>1 - Discuss the rules with your class</u></span><br />
I know this might sound like an obvious one but I'm not talking about telling them the rules, I mean to discussing the rules. Ask the children why they think they are important and if they like the wording. This involves them a lot more in the rules of the classroom and sets a community feel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>2 - Don't set the bar too low</u></span><br />
The behaviours and actions that you decide deserve rewards are a personal decision but try not to fall into the trap of reward expected behaviour. It is fine to express happiness when children follow the rules but if it is every day expected behaviour it shouldn't be singled out for rewards. This can lead to difficulties when having to deal with behaviour problems.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>3 - Watch your phases</u></span><br />
I am very guilty of this and it can be so difficult some times. When teaching we often fall back on a set of phrases that we use to quiet the class. There is nothing wrong with this but they can be over used and that is when they become meaningless to the class. It is a good idea to change your quiet down phrases often and be prepared to find yourself slipping!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>4 - Remember to laugh at yourself</u></span><br />
Some times you will say something silly, you will make a mistake and even call out the behaviour of the wrong children. Remember to accept that you made a mistake and apologise if you can get this going from day one then you will show the class that it is OK to make mistakes and change our behaviour for everyone's benefit.<br />

If you do have behaviour issues in your class there is a fantastic post over on <a href="https://inclusiveteach.com/2017/06/05/10-simple-strategies-to-prevent-behaviour-escalation/" target="_blank">The Special Needs Teaching and Education Blog on Preventing Behaviour Escalation. </a><br />

I wish you all a fantastic back to school season and enjoy your holidays!<br />
