Anniversary

Today is this blog's first anniversary and I want to thank all of my readers for the wonderful support. Since the blogs inception a year ago I have had over 52,000 views (more than 1000. A week), I've moved to the austeacher.tk domain and been nominated for a teaching blog award. There have been over 150 posts and free resources, with over 5,000 downloads from my Dropbox.

Thankyou everyone and here is to the second year!

Letter of the Week Crafts

If you are working through the letters of the week with Prep students then it is always good to have some ideas for craft to complete with the students. The website linked below contains a variety of different crafts for every single letter. Check out the website here.

Free Online Book Reading

I normally use Tumblebooks to read books online with students, but I have come across another website which allows you to read books with the kids on the IWB. It's called We Give Books. There is over 150 free books to read online. You can access the website here.
