Teaching With Miss Caldinez

As a teacher, I always look forward to the joy that Ginger, our elf, brings to the classroom during the holidays! 🎄✨

Her mischievous ways never fail to brighten our days, making the countdown to Christmas even more exciting. 🧝‍♀️🎉

What about your classroom elves? I’d love to hear how your elves have spread Christmas cheer and magic in your classrooms this year! Drop a comment below! 🎄✨

Father’s Day 2024 👔

Yesterday, we celebrated all the incredible fathers, grandfathers, uncles, stepdads, and father figures in our lives.

My boys made the cutest ties for their dads and male role models last week, and I couldn’t help but laugh (and maybe shed a tear) reading the heartfelt messages they included.

Check them out! Swipe ⬅️ ✨

P.S. To all the mums, grandmas, aunties, stepmums and mother figures out there, you’ve done well! I was very impressed by the boys’ attention to detail and ability to colour coordinate the colours and patterns in their ties. You’d be so proud 😂

Better late than never 🫣

I am thrilled to announce that this term, I’ve been living my dream…………working at an all boys school! 🌟

It’s been an incredible experience so far and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to work alongside so many incredible leaders, educators and ESOs supporting, empowering and inspiring young boys to dream big and reach for the stars.

Here’s to embracing new experiences and aiming high this year 🚀💫

Have you checked in today?

Each morning my Year 3s work through their morning to-do list; this includes popping their face into one of the four columns.

Throughout the morning, as the students work, I make it my mission to check in with students who fall outside of the ‘Green Zone’- the zone that indicates they are feeling happy/content and ready to learn.

By doing so, I am able to address anything that may be bothering my students or hindering their ability to be present in the moment, happy and learning.

How do you check-in with your students?
