It seems like every day there is an endless stream of students reporting behaviors or incidents that happen in the classroom. On one hand, we want to help our students feel heard and validated so they know we are a safe person for them to talk to. On the other hand, we certainly don't want to feed into the tattle machine. It's a fine line to walk. So how do we handle tattling in our classrooms?
I am always looking for a way to add some art and creativity into my math class, my class this year LOVES to draw so I knew they would love an opportunity to draw and be creative in math class. We just finished a unit on angles and lines. We studied all the classifications of angles (acute, straight, right, obtuse, reflex) and worked with measures of complementary angles, supplementary angles, angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, angles around a point and more! For their end of unit project they had to create their own city map using a variety of angles. I gave the kids a checklist with everything they needed to include. They had to plan where to place the specifics I laid out in the project: the types and amount of angles formed by the roads, what buildings needed to be located on different angle intersections, all the buildings that they must include, etc.. First I had them sketch out a rough draft so they could easily move streets/buildings around to get everything to meet the exact specifications required. Once they were happy with their draft they transferred their map to a 11 x 17 piece of white paper. For their final copy they had to include color, a city name, the city population, street names, building labels, and it needed to be neat and organized. They totally got into this project! It was so fun to see them figuring out how to make the roads meet to form obtuse angles, and where to place buildings. Many of them also got very creative and based their city name and street names around a theme (space, the ocean etc..) I was very impressed with the final projects they turned in! Here are some pictures of some of their finished designs. Do you do any fun and creative projects in your math class? I would love to hear about them!

Would you like to decorate your classroom with fun, hand-drawn anchor charts/posters? Do you simply not have the time to get them done? Well, you have come to the perfect place! I love making these engaging and appealing anchor charts. I also can draw/create any other topic you would like, just contact me directly and ask! My students absolutely love these posters and references them every day. Many of them are visual learners, so the colorful images really help them connect and remember what they have learned. This particular anchor chart is for writers practicing how to revise and edit their papers. This poster really helps them break down each category and remember the steps they need to take in order to finish their written work. They love the colors and visuals! **These will be copies unless asked otherwise for a custom poster. They are not laminated, and are printed on normal, anchor chart paper. I ship these out ASAP after being ordered, but please keep in mind once shipped, it is outside of my control. Therefore, if shipping does not meet your expectations, I highly encourage you to please reach out to me first, and we have always been able to work something out to make up for anything that may have occurred after I have sent your package, thanks so much!! Hope you love it :)
