Look who's back! She's been visiting regularly since we first met about 6 months ago. She mainly snacks on my garden (she's 3x the size that she was when she started coming around) and has no concerns about my presence at close proximity. The first time we met she actually approached me from above from the washing line as I sat below. She very slowly let me reach out and scratch her head and ears. But then I think it all became a bit too much for her and she snapped her little teeth into my finger and scuttled back onto the fence. I could totally relate.

“You look wonderful you precious possum!” said Grandma Poss.⁠⁠ From “Possum Magic” by Mem Fox and Julie Vivas.⁠⁠ ~⁠⁠ #possummagic #memfox #julievivas #possums #possumsofinstagram #possumsarecute #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram #scholastic #omnibusbooks #scholasticaustralia⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9d9lqHxws/?utm_medium=tumblr

As a youngster, my reading experiences revolved heavily around developing my literacy abilities, having come from a household which primarily spoke Armenian. After reflecting on this, I’m able to ensure that when I teach literacy, I will aim to cater for the needs of every student individually. Knowing from personal experience that not all students are at the same standard in their reading abilities will allow me to empathise with the ones who tend to struggle more than others, and provide assistance to areas in order to develop their literacy needs.

Solving the suburban mysteries: now I know why my bird-feeder is always empty, and why the neighbours have an awesome lawn (hungry possums and a domestic sheep, respectively) 🐑 #whoknew #soweird #citylife #wtf #possummagic #sheepshape
