Happy Monday teacher friends💞 Save these early years classroom ideas, to help with your future planning. I highly recommend the post office/letter writing provocation. It definitely encourages mark making in the early years and writing during kindergarten. It’s also wonderful to encourage spoken communication between students. Have a lovely evening, Jen x #teachersoftiktok #playbasedlearning #classroom #kidsactivities #learningthroughplay

Wander through one one my Pre Kindergarten classrooms from the past with me!✨🥰 I hope you are as enchanted as I am. I always find inspiration from looking back on film like this, and I remember what’s important to me as an educator. I had a wonderful day with my current class, and I’m always thinking about ways I can challenge my own plans to come up with what’s best for them. And maybe I just love having fun with the process, considering new ideas too;) The post office here was an amazing idea

I plan for the use of this activity in kindergarten as part our play based literacy experiences, but another teacher let me know they set it as a whole class activity and managed to get some testing done ✅ 👏 It’s a reality that we need to get individual testing done. I love activities that can engage a whole class in a super fun way so that we can get those individual assessments done too.👏👏 I really do love your feedback too.

Fireworks 🎆 but make them fun for little kids. This easy DIY activity for kids might just help in all the waiting on New Year’s Eve. As a bonus, it helps to develop hand eye coordination, fine motor skills, focus, and allows them to play with patterning (an early mathematics skill). Do you stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve?? Jen x #kidsactivities #invitationtoplay #finemotorskills | Where Learning Meets Play

If you ask any of the students in my Kindergarten class now how they learn, they will tell you about the connections they are making in their brain when they are playing or engaged in whole class activities.

Watching children engage freely with literacy based play like this is one of my favourite things!! Today, there was complaining at the end when the bell was rung to “make our classroom beautiful,” and clean up. I had to promise I wouldn’t pack anything away (but also: bring back the rainbow mat😂😂😂). Sometimes, things just work. Many of you have requested a longer look at a set up, so I tried it here. What do you think?? I was a little bit excited to see some of these ideas come together.🤭 Ca

Curious what you think about this- how many different materials and activities in the classroom at one time are too much? This literacy play session (45 mins for three days) was highly successful overall, but it did require intentional planning, revisions, and careful management. On reflection I think having more than two tables to be wiped down afterwards is perhaps too many, when it’s one teacher with a class of students. Maybe I’d make a change to allow for that. And note that the inquiry cor

Ugh, I want this for kindergarten too!! I’m looking back over pre k clips (I am sooooo glad I filmed them) for inspiration for kindergarten as the curriculum has changed- in a good way. But I’m in that tricky decision making process of time & money vs IT IS A JOB. I don’t have a TA in kindergarten. I have to be realistic. But damn. I have so many great ideas! Kills me. Wish me luck trying to figure out how to do what I want with inquiry, in a time sensitive manner. If you have joined ‘THE learni

For an open literacy play session, genuine choice and variation of options are both important. I feel like I say this a lot, but there must be many more ‘spots’ to be than children so that they are choosing for themselves and not just ending up stuck with something. This was a winning combination. Save for future reference and share with your teacher friends😊 Mention SEND LITERACY LINKS below for links to be automatically DMed to you.

How to record LEARNING & THINKING🤔 I am all for teaching students that their thinking matters and aim to help them find ways to be comfortable with sharing their ideas. It’s important not only for schooling but for LIFE.✨ The provocations I use in my classroom support this learning. The large learning journal our Pre-Kindergarten classes each have is fantastic for recording (valuing!!) the ideas of all our class members. It is used when working through thinking routines as a class, small group

It’s the frequent conversations, about the power they hold to make their own brain learn and grow, that make all the difference. They can all tell you that only they have the power to learn and make their brain grown stronger. And this transfers to all our learning, not just play sessions. How do you feel? Should students be afforded this kind of agency? Jen x For links, comment NUMERACY PRINT below. #teachersofinstagram #playbasedlearning #classroom #learningthroughplay #kidsactivities #teacher

Jen~Where Learning Meets Play on Instagram: "If you like kindergarten classroom activities that are fun, encourage writing, and are easy to set up, then it’s time to try “What’s in the bag?” You could use real bags if you have them, but brown paper bags work well too. They can write about either (or both) pictures, in their writing book (in the pink box behind the chalk board). I always like to give choice in activities where possible.

And all you need are a few extra photocopies to achieve the outcome🎉 How it works⬇️ I introduced this to my class by telling them that we would be drawing very special pictures of themselves that would stay on our wall for the whole year, because we all belong in this space, and I wanted all visitors to our space to know this. I then told them that sometimes things can feel hard because we only have one chance to do them. I explained that I had made plenty of spare copies and that they could dr
