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?
