What does ASD mean?

Hey Bloggers!

I'm back with a new post today.

This post today is all about a shared story book we are currently reading called 'Anything But Typical' It is by Nora Raleigh Baskin.

This is a story about a twelve year old boy called Jason Blake, he has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). In this story he barely uses any speech and we hear most things through his thoughts and feelings about the people or things around him.

I found it interesting to read and listen, since it's something we are not used to.

Today I and going to be showing some of the work I have been working on for this.

Have you heard of the book before?

Maybe even read it?

And is there anything I can improve on for my work?

Enjoy!

The Tiger In The Well (It's nothing about tigers)

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog!

Today I will be making a new book cover!

This is for a book called 'The Tiger In The Well' It is a Sally Lockhart Mystery by Philip Pullman.

I've already read it, and it's not really about tigers.

It does mention it though.

It's about a girl who's called Sally, who is desperately protecting her 2 year-old child, from a secret enemy who seems to know everything about her. As she runs from home, her life slowly falls apart.

I spent some time using google drawings to create this and it was quite fun, so I suggest for you to try creating something yourself!

Have you read the book before?

Have you heard of it?

And what do you think of my book cover?

Here is my book cover!

Enjoy!

Do you have a habit of Sharpening The Saw?

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome to my blog.

Do you have a habit of Sharpening the saw?
Well, not literally...

Sharpening the saw is one of the habits from a book called '7 Habits of highly effective teens'

We looked at how to be a good leader and a good member of a group. The year sixes were at PAL (Physical Activity Leaders) Training and the year 7 and 8's were left with this gigantic classroom.

Overall, the day was really fun, I really liked the games and activities that we did. I really enjoyed learning about the 7 habits, especially the seventh, which was 'Sharpen the saw'. Although, I think I liked it best because our teacher (Ms Rennell) just gave us this really catchy song that's still going around in my head, which is called, you guessed it, Sharpen the saw.

What kind of leadership qualities have you been taught?
Are they different? Or the same?
What do you think makes a good leader?

Enjoy!

It's all about someone who's name starts with a M...

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about 'I AM ME'

I am me is a workbook that we have been working on for the last few weeks, to learn some things about ourselves.

There is a bunch of quizzes that you can complete which I will link in the slide.

Have you done similar tests to these?

If you tried out some of the quizzes, what were your results?

Were you different from my results?

Awesome Alphabetical Animals!

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be ordering animal names from A-Z.

It was pretty hard think of animal names for Q and X, so I had to google it.

What are some of your favorite animals?

What kind of animal names can you think of?

So without further ado!

Let's go!

Enjoy!

SRL? Hmm... Super Rolling Logs...?

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back, or to, my blog.

Today I will be talking about SRL! which isn't Super Rolling Logs... or Scientific Rising Limbos... or Snakes Running Lazily...

Anyway!

What SRL actually means is 'Self Regulated Learning'

I am going to teach what it means, and what I have been doing for 'SRL'

Have you heard of it before? If so, have you used the term before? Or something similar?

How many windows in my house? It's not 20, it's not 50, it's 105! o_o

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome to my blog! Or back to, if you may have seen my blog before.

Today I will be talking about windows!

One of the activities that I had to do is to count the windows in my house, then times by two, then double it! (which pretty much means times by two and then do it again, or times by four)

I ran around for about 5 minutes in my house to find all the windows, it was a lot more tiring than I thought it would be!

But! Anyways!

Here is my working out!

How many windows do you have?

What about the ones in your school? Or somewhere else?

Enjoy!
