Mrs Morris and Miss Jordan teach together in a big, open double classroom for grades 2KJ and 2KM. The classroom contains 42 students, desks, computers, books, displays, and other learning materials. Technology plays a big role in the classroom with two interactive whiteboards and classroom computers used during literacy and math lessons. Students keep their belongings in bag lockers and choose books from a take-home reader box each morning.
19. Then we change our take home readers by choosing a book from our box.
20. We then sit down and Mrs Morris and Miss Jordan mark the roll.
21. We look at our blog every morning and check how many visitors we’ve had. We show our blog visitors on this number flipchart.
22. We check the board to see what our schedule for the day is. The magnifying glass shows us our weekly focuses. We have a different focus for Literacy, Maths and Integrated Studies each week.
23. This is our Reading Taskboard. It shows the different reading groups and the daily activities for each group. Our group names are the Indonesian colours because Indonesian is the language we learn.
24. We have just started our CAFE board for Literacy. Every student has a reading goal displayed on the board.
25. We have lots of Literacy and Numeracy resources in our classroom.
26. We recycle paper at our school. All paper materials go into the box.
