<span style="color: blue;">When children draw they are developing their skills in many ways. The benefits include developing their fine motor skills, encouraging their visual analysis, it encourages concentration, improves hand-eye co-ordination, increases individual confidence and it teaches creative problem solving. With this many benefits, why wouldn't we make time for our students to access the process?</span></h3>

<span style="color: magenta;">I've always felt, strongly, the need to encourage students to be proud when they make a mistake as a mistake is always a great way of ensuring new learning.</span></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">So, in my class, I have students ring the bell. We call it a </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Learning Opportunity</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPfT_EYmbMEHYmz6SrH6eGHMbtA29LNVwBnTDrHpFL3rW9Y1rOWM8Q9MC-NJdxMYoQHk0wA_o_buMedpLtLIuwhXGQuRfcKOHHpx-sR3zmy8cLBnwm33dQT1KE0pPR2Q9UNlmwVaVzVQ/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1520" data-original-width="1128" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPfT_EYmbMEHYmz6SrH6eGHMbtA29LNVwBnTDrHpFL3rW9Y1rOWM8Q9MC-NJdxMYoQHk0wA_o_buMedpLtLIuwhXGQuRfcKOHHpx-sR3zmy8cLBnwm33dQT1KE0pPR2Q9UNlmwVaVzVQ/s320/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">And the student who has made the error has the opportunity to inform others of what they have learnt from 'making the mistake'. </span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Students are always proud to share what they have learnt and it erases any shame or embarrassment commonly associated with the making of an error. </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">I hope you can use this idea in your classroom, too!</span></h2>

<h2>
<span style="color: blue;">Time is a difficult concept for children to understand because it isn't tens based. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: blue;">There's 60 mins in and hour and half of that is 30 .... and it is so much easier when it is 10' s and 5's or 100's and 50's. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: blue;">There's fractions halves and quarters... there's pasts and to's and it's a lot for children to take in. They require a foundation of understanding in all these areas before learning to tell the time, 'clicks'.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><span style="color: magenta;">But... don't despair!</span></span></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: orange;">I believe a hands-on approach can help with understanding.</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Time time telling is always difficult to understand. So many maths concepts are set to base ten numbers but time has 60 mins in 1 hour and all those numbers, and matching them with 5 minute interval numbers, time past and time to, and halves and quarters ... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Phew!</span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">No wonder it's a tough task to master!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #93c47d; font-size: large;">So..., because I think children learn best by 'doing', I decided to create a lesson where children can touch all the parts of the clock and move them around.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I started by drawing a large circle on the carpet with chalk. (This is a common tool in my classroom, as chalk simply sweeps off the carpet leaving no trace.)</span><br />

I purposely made numbers that sit opposite on the clock, the same colour, so they look like 'pairs'.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">I also had organised the 'digital increments' of 5, 10, 15, 20 etc. so they could be placed </span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">on the exterior of the clock face.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Cards with o'clock times, half past and quarter past times were also prepared and ready for use.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I had 2 rolls of paper wrap which I used as the hands of the clock.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-size: large;">So, the lesson started....</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Learning how things work, is so amazing for little minds and they simply love learning about the things they have made. We've most recently made kites and discussed the effects of the wind and the reasons behind why kites fly.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">Each year, at this time, I seem to be rattled by the age-old and undeniably, one of the BIGGEST questions in life ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Is Santa Real?????</span></div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Okay ..... let's take a deep breath .... exhale ..... and think! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Yes, people....</span><span style="color: red;"> THINK!</span></span><br />

If you, like I, believe in these things too, you might just agree with me here....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Just because they ask ....</span><span style="color: #ea9999;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">you don't HAVE to tell them!</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Think of it like this... Some-one asks you "Have you won that million dollars in the lottery, yet?" </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">You know the truth!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">You know, they know the truth!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">But how great would it be to be able to say</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">"YES! The Money Tree arrives next week! We are going to pick the Season's fruit and fly to Machu Picchu for Christmas!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Well people ... I'm here to tell you .... </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">It's OKAY TO SAY "YES"!!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">(gasp! The faces turn left and right in search of the truth!!!)</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">Listen again!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">It's okay to tell them "YES!" </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Santa is Real!</span><br />

He is the giving, the loving, the kind! The children, just like you and that Lotto win, want to believe in the power of the dream. Don't take that away from them! The magic of this world will disappear soon enough! They will have to face reality, one day, but until they are old enough .... let them believe. Let them experience the curiosity of the unknown, the magic of wonder and the joy of belief.</span> <br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;">A five year old is not asking you because he wants to know that the jolly old man isn't real!!! The five year old is asking you because they've heard rumours they don't want to believe!!!! Some other chump has put the notion in your child's head and now they are searching for some proof that the chump (and his chumpy father) are mistaken.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">Let them BELIEVE!!! It won't be forever! Childhood is so short these days! The real world will come along soon enough and they will be faced with the pressures and stresses of the everyday world. It is then that they will look back and remember the wonderment and the joy and the ecstasy of believing in something magical ... and maybe, just maybe, the feeling they remember might just help give them the strength they need to deal with the problems they are facing in the real world!</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Ask them "What do you think?" Ask them, "What is Christmas all about?" Ask "Why is giving so important?" and "How do you think others feel when they receive something they've always wanted?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-large;">Tell them that Santa isn't just the 'person'. Santa is the FEELING ... and allow them to connect the goodness with the person, then it doesn't really matter if it's Santa, or the tooth fairy, Allah or God. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-large;">The feeling is true and real and therefore alive and real.</span> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">I wanted to share with you, the way I organise group activities </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">with my Preps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I start with 4 groups - <span style="color: red;">RED</span>, <span style="color: #38761d;">GREEN</span>, <span style="color: #0b5394;">BLUE</span> & <span style="color: orange;">YELLOW</span>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Each group has a list of names written on a card to help our mums with names and to help with organization. When you're 5, you like to go anywhere and everywhere, so this helps keep every-one in the right place. ... well, most of the time, anyway!</span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">There are four different activities each session and I have 4 adults to help. This is usually 2 parent helpers, my aide and myself. Each group lines up with a different leader, chosen by the adult at the table, and walks to the next activity once I have rung the bell. I make it very structured so every-one knows where they are going and what their next activity will be.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the 2014 School Year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">As we, in the Southern Hemisphere, head into a new school year, I intend to present to my newbies the wonder and power of words.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">We have the honour, this year to be able to make friends with a special little guy, whom I'm hoping will gain as much from us, as I know he will give.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">With "differences" often being our focus, I hope to enlighten my littlies that words can be powerful.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">It is our differences that make us special, unique and individual. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Differences should be celebrated.</span> </span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">We are only little Preps, but don't the idea of us being 5 years of age, fool you!! We have been learning all about different kinds of landscapes. The first one we discovered was the 'Cane Farm'. (Very appropriate considering we are in Sugar Country!!) ... <span style="color: #741b47;">how do these coincidences keep occurring??</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">We decided to make a cane farm in our classroom. Different children took on different roles but we all worked as a team.</span> </span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;">This is how it worked out...</span></span></div>
