One of the many highlights of my job as principal is when there’s a knock at my door, and some smiley faces appear, eager to share with me the outstanding work they’ve been doing in class.
Today, it was these two boys who had worked really well together in their Year 2 Numeracy class. They excitedly shared how they had created their own two-digit addition sentences by playing a card game and showed me the strategy they used to find their answers. They then went on to check their answers on a calculator and were pleased to announce that their brains were quicker than it!
At the end, I got the opportunity to share a new strategy for them to take back to share with their class and off they went.
I wonder who will be knocking on my door tomorrow, allowing me to share in their learning and celebrating their successes?
