We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

DO YOU HAVE TO BE A TEACHER TO TEACH?


Today EVERYONE wanted to post or comment to our blog. Look how long our 'sign- up' queues were!
We're glad we had Lauren's Mum and Mrs Duffy to help us.
Lauren's Mum helped us with our comments.
She didn't type for us today - we did the typing OURSELVES!
She taught us how to use the SPACEBAR to put in the spaces between the words.
We learnt how to hold down the SHIFT key when we need to type a CAPITAL letter.
Lauren's Mum also showed
us which key we needed to push if we wanted to use a FULLSTOP.

We took a long time to type, but Lauren's Mum was very patient. She was a great TEACHER.


Bryce, Laura, Johanna, Brooke and Ben worked with Mrs Duffy. They posted their stories. They were proud of themselves because THEY had taught Mrs Duffy how to post.
This got us thinking.... Do you have to be a 'TEACHER' to TEACH?
NO!!!!...we are ALL 'TEACHERS'.
WE had a big discussion about what WE could TEACH others.
Naomi and Kimi are EXPERTS at cartwheels. Jacob said he'd like to learn how to do them and he could TEACH someone how to ride a bike.
But what if you wanted to learn how to draw?... or tie your shoelaces?
Who would you go to?
You now have to think 1M....WHAT AM I GOOD AT? WHAT COULD I TEACH OTHERS HOW TO DO?
Post a comment to let us know how YOU can be a TEACHER.
Parents too.... WHAT COULD YOU TEACH US?

TODAY WAS COMMENT DAY!


We had V.I.P.S in our room again today...
we are VERY lucky!
This morning, Mrs B and Mrs P came in AGAIN to help us with our blog!

We signed up again to work with either Mrs B or Mrs P.

We decided that we wanted to leave comments today. Mrs B and Mrs P helped us read the posts and type our comments. We also looked at 1G's blog and left lots of comments there too!

This afternoon we had a V.I.P. from Brisbane Catholic Education visit us and talk to us about our blog.
We shared how we decide what goes on the blog.
Jack, Harrison, Jacob and Patrick knew
which buttons to click on to upload, size
and position a photo into a post.
Our visitor was VERY IMPRESSED!!

MORE BLOG HELPERS!

THANKYOU to Mrs P and Mrs B who helped us post to the blog today. Even though we had some 'technical' problems, everyone on our blog 'sign -up' sheet got to post. You were very quick learners. We think you are absolute....

GETTING ON THE COMPUTER - THE PROCESS

How was Mrs.Harvey going to know who wanted to post to the blog?
What order would we go in?
How would we know who had posted?



Mrs M said that when she goes to 'teacher school' she sometimes has to 'sign up' for a workshop.

We liked this idea. We knew it would help Mrs Harvey.






We drew up a 'sign up' sheet and added our names to the list.
When we had finished adding our post to the blog, we ticked off our name on the list. Then we read who to get next.
The list helped us keep track of who had posted and who was still waiting for their turn.
We're going to use a 'POST SIGN UP" everyday!
What else could we use a 'SIGN UP SHEET' for 1M? Leave a comment with your suggestions.

ANOTHER V.I.P.!!

Today we had another V.I.P. visitor - this time in our room!
This visitor was Lauren's mum. She wasn't just a very important person to us- she was a Very Important Parent!
WHY?
Because she'd come to help us put our comments and posts on our blog!

Lauren's Mum spent over an hour in our room helping us with our posts.

We gave Lauren's Mum
3 Cheers and a BIG THANKYOU!!!
See you next Thursday Mrs Harvey! :>)
