Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has had a safe and happy start to the new year!

I know many of my Northern Hemisphere friends are heading back to the classroom in the next few days, but for those of us in Australia, we’re on Summer Holidays and beginning to think about what’s to come in 2018 with our new classes.

Excitingly, I’m headed back into a classroom next year and I cannot wait. I have a lot of big plans for 2018, that include having my own grade again, continuing to work with graduate teachers within my school (and possibly outside my school!) and continuing to lead the English team.

It’s going to be a busy year!

I also have a lot of things planned for this blog, because I am determined to get back to posting regularly. Whether that’s once a week, or once a month, I want to be more consistent!

But, without further ado, in 2018 I am teaching…

Year 1!

I haven’t taught Year 1 for 3 years (if you don’t count my work from last year), and I haven’t taught a straight Year 1 class before. The last time I taught Year 1 was when I was teaching Prep/1 so I’m excited to see what this year brings.
