discovering blog gems

Three weekends left, all appointments reconfirmed and now time for further research. I’m uncovering some great blog gems.

Things that are important by Suzanne Axellson. A mission for preschoolers using cameras to decide what’s important.

Schemas in Children’s Play by Clare Caro. Taking the time to understand schemas so you can facilitate them when you see them.

The Adult Role in Child-led Play – How to become a Learning Ally by Clare Caro.

Storypark – What does it take to achieve an ‘Excellent’ NQS rating? by Narelle Dawson, Director/Teacher at Bribie Island Community Kindergarten.

one month to go

Just five weeks away from departure and with a mixture of panic and excitement I’m trying to finish mid year reports, do daily checks on the exchange rate and lock down the meetings many which were arranged over six months ago.

The image is from the cover of Tomorrow by Mark McLeod and illustrated by Kirrily Schell. It is one of my favourite books to read to young children.
