Barnesy

15 years teaching experience in early years classrooms. Currently teaching kindergarten (Prep in Victoria, Australia) in an inquiry/ reggio school yet kicking goals in literacy and numeracy with a structured literacy and science of maths approach.

Science of reading/learning has changed my life. Adore incorporating music, movement and hand- on learning experiences into my classroom. I relish in building knowledge, curiosity and inquiring minds from beautiful provocations. Having recovered from a mild brain injury, I have first hand experience for the essential need for classrooms and their learning tools to feel safe and not overload busy or cognitively diverse minds. My resources are pretty, simplistic and reduces redundant information for my precious students in hope they can truly master skills and become lifelong, confident learners.
