When I think of the world that we live in and how many colors are all around, I am truly amazed. Rainbows, fish, butterflies, flowers...there are many colorful things in our world. So, when it comes to teaching colors to my little learners, what better way than to let them know that these colorful things come from God.
I love using this Character Changes chart with my students! It really helps them see how a character changes from the beginning of the story to the end. This is such an important skill for our readers to learn, as it helps them analyze motives, and see how events help a character grow, or deteriorate. This chart focuses on thoughts, emotions, and actions a character has. You can use it for just about any book or novel-- fiction or non-fiction! Like this resource?

SPANISH INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS I have put together some samples from my Spanish I interactive notebooks here. For me, the most helpful thing is to see what other people are doing, so I'm working to gather photos and videos to help other teachers along. My first year using interactive notebooks basically made me an expert on what NOT to do. It's true: they can be a little messy. A little planning goes a long way, so since then I've put together an overview of getting started with interactive notebooks for those who are newbies. A few years into my Spanish teaching

When we first started homeschooling, there were a few subjects that I knew I would have to read and research to successfully teach my children. Math and writing come immediately to mind. But spelling? Surely not. How hard could it be to teach spelling? I mean,really. I am a natural speller, and I could tell that my 5 year old Kindergartner was going to be a natural speller as well. And I was right. That little Kindergartner successfully completed 4 levels of All About Spelling by the time he hit 3rd grade, and he spells exceptionally well. Then my next

Lo-Fi Halftone Print Effects You Have to See to Believe. I always wondered why nobody did it before us. I mean, old school halftones are beautiful… you think that one art nerd would’ve made halftone brushes this good. We did make them and it turns out it takes a long time to get halftones right. DupliTone for Illustrator lets you... Get aged, lo-fi halftone shading better than anything on the market. Create diverse halftone effects with no complex settings. Seamlessly layer halftones for shading and texture variations. Choose from all the classic dot and line percentages and angles (see brush list below). Choose between traditional, rough or squeaky clean smooth halftones. Before DupliTone, you either had to make do with the limited default brush capabilities of Illustrator, or if you were dedicated, scan real halftones and add them with a mask. Even with all that work, the results are far from authentic. And if you need more intricate tonal variations for shading you just might find the task nearly impossible. DupliTone was built from the start with classic vintage offset printing in mind. Capture the classic look of print found on consumer packaging, cheap print work, and ephemera. Software: Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and above Hardware: 2.4ghz processor or higher Memory: 16 gb of RAM or higher Storage: 8 GB DupliTone Swatches 9 rough halftone dot swatches (10% - 90%) 18 rough halftone line swatches (10% - 90%) 9 smooth halftone dot swatches (10% - 90%) 18 smooth halftone line swatches (10% - 90%) Note: All swatches are 45° angle halftones and come in 10-90%. Extras Quick Start Tutorial. A short and sweet tutorial to show you how to use the swatches. Just image a good friend spending a minute showing you the ropes. Quick Illustration Tutorial. Did you look at the cat illustration and REALLY want to do a piece like that? Retro illustration master, Robin Banks, shows you how they they made one of the cats from initial sketch to final piece in a quick and to the point two-minute video. The tutorial is in Procreate but the same concepts apply when illustrating in Illustrator. What makes these swatches different than other halftone swatches and textures I own? Each halftone swatch has been perfectly tuned with the other swatches in the set. That means that any halftone dot, line, or tone percentage will paint on top of the others perfectly. That means you can create halftone shading and tonal variation unlike anything on the market. Will these swatches work with Procreate, Photoshop, Affinity, or Clip Studio Paint? Yes! But be sure to buy the brushes for the software you use. The set on this page is exclusively made for Illustrator. Are these swatches difficult to use? I'm pretty new to Illustrator. The swatches are not difficult to install or apply to your work. You only need to download one swatch file. One of our objectives in making these brushes was to make a stupid simple alternative to our more complex ColorLab brush packs. Is this a swatch set or a plug-in? A carefully crafted swatch set. The RetroSupply creative team invested around three months of full time work into designing, building, testing, rebuilding, and tweaking this brush pack. Will you teach me to make illustrations like this? We've included a 3 minute video overview of the illustration process illustrator Robin Banks used to create the illustrations in the pack. This video shows how one of the cats like the ones on the cover is illustrated. We also release new tutorials and articles each week. We also host Instagram Live events each week where we have professional illustrators teach you how they use our products.

*Google Slides and Print Option* *Rubric Added!* About this Product This product came as a result of my students’ love of the biography series “Who Was…?” If you have not looked into this series, I recommend that you do!

Although this product is based on this series, this product could be used for any biography book or project.

The TLL Membership gives you an all-access pass to hundreds of ELA resources for teachers in Grades 3-5. How I Used this Product In my 3rd Grade classroom, I used multiple copies of the same book or books and paired students in partnerships. In my school, we have a 30 minute Reading Intervention Block. I began this project with students who were not pulled out or working with me in small groups during this time. This was a nice way for students to work independently or in partnerships. It also created an extension for what they could already do as readers. Plus, they had so much fun! I let them work on this project in their partnerships. This held several benefits. Many students who were not pulled out or working in small groups tend to be higher level students OR students who have untapped potential. Allowing them to work on a project like this can extend their learning, as well as find new ways to enjoy reading. While other students had special groups or went to see other teachers, it was nice for these students to have their own project too. The Poster Page is a template that you could use for students to turn in with the essay or you could use this as a planning page and then have students create a larger poster on their own. I assigned it as homework and was pleasantly surprised at what my students turned in. I saw a wonderful increase in engagement by students who had shown little motivation or enthusiasm for reading. You can see the photos in the preview or in the product itself. Please know I updated the pages after the photos were taken with more detail and provided the poster template. Good luck to you with this project! If you have any questions, please contact me! You might also LOVE...

I love, love, love Squiggle Writing with my kids! Honestly, it always amazes me to see how differently each child in my class interprets the same squiggle. Let me introduce you to the very first Squiggle Writer: Mr. Squiggle! Yep! A marionette from Australia! Love his pencil nose! My neighbor filled me in on the TV show that ran for FORTY years after she saw one of my daughter's squiggle writing assignments ten years ago. Who knew? Read more about it here. I did see a clip once on YouTube and if you Google it, I bet you could see Mr. Squiggle in action! Here are some of my students' squiggles: (Lots of different ability levels and ELL represented! I snapped pics even before they self-edited.) I've been making Squiggles for a while now and have used them for Do-Nows, Morning Work, Homework, Fast Finishers, and in Writing Centers. Kids love them! I think they often surprise themselves what comes out of their crayons and pencils! Mr. Squiggle would be proud! Grab a few freebies by clicking below. Or if interested in the full product: I finally collected all of my pages and posted this product on TpT. (Both handwriting lines included!) Grab it if you're looking for a fun way to get you kids' creative juices flowing! Makes an adorable quick display, too. (Posters/Optional Book Cover included as well.)
