Astounded at Swan View Pre Primary

This was something I had looked forward to for some time, so I was delighted to step inside the pre primary at Swan View and see how the two teachers there had put Shoebox into practice. Not only were their two classes immaculately behaved and their rooms a visual treat, but all around the room were evidences that these little ones had started to engage with their language, which made me terribly excited. I was also treated to two performances, one of their Hat sentences and one of Adjective Battles! Both were fantastic and I was reduced to delighted smiles and loud applause at the end. (I was told that one of the children, after having learned adjectives, went home and helped his older brother, who didn't know what an adjective was!) This is the generation of Shoeboxers who will go through school with much better knowledge of their language.

Finally, let me express my amazed awe at the work of the two teachers, Nicole Lavender and Michelle Wenzel, who have made Shoebox their own. Bravissima!
