=**Morning Routine**= Think of different ways to make a morning role call as part of your morning routine. As students come into the classroom, drag their name into a certain section to show that they are present.

To help you to think of ideas on what to create, look at maths photos or texts from George Booker/Calvin Irons/James Burnett. Using mathematical concepts in the morning is a great way to reinforce the math's learning you are currently doing in the classroom without the teacher being present.

Stages of IWB Skill Development
great staff meeting/curriculum day activity to do with staff is to get them to look at Beauchamp's Stages of IWB Skill Development and highlight where they are on the continuum. You may want to use the Traffic Light strategy with staff members where they highlight the areas they are confident in, in green (for GO), the areas that they are developing in amber, and areas that are stopping them in red.

**Lessons to create**:

 * Money**: Scan images of Australian money of the internet and add them to the gallery.
 * Time**: Have a range of different clocks (analogue, digital and spoken time). Students drag them to the right clock.
 * Language**: Teaching in concepts in themes have a range of pictures (eg. beach pictures) and the students can drag the word to the picture. Students also explore prepositions (on, behind, beside, on top, etc) using the theme pictures. Include subitising and patterns in the language program (eg. how many beach balls do you see?)
 * Seasons**: Have a picture of the different seasons and a list of all the months of the year. Have a discussion around which months belong in each season.
 * Numbers**: Matching numbers on a clothes line. Match the number, and the counters (grouped) on the clothes line.
