We all have them... I have been wanting to make a sign like this for a while and finally got it done. Sporadically we have "catch up days" where everyone can finish their work. I finally finished this sign for my board and I LOVE IT! This week will be the 5th graders first catch up day. They will need to: 1. Finish their art folder covers 2. Finish their colored self portraits 3. Finish their Element of Art Monsters 4. Finish the background drawing for their monsters (a space to live) 5. Cut out and put their monster in their "space" 6. Write a story for their monster. I think that should be enough to keep them busy.

Improve students' reading, writing, vocabulary, and spelling with this huge collection of Greek and Latin roots word wall cards. This set of over 250 word wall cards has everything you need to create a color-coded, organized display aligned to your curriculum. Over 250 common Greek and Latin roots, suffixes, and prefixes are covered. These word wall cards can be printed, laminated, cut, and used for years and years. Buy once, use forever!

If your students know the meaning of about 250 roots, they can figure out the meaning of thousands of English words. WHAT'S INCLUDED Two printing options: 2 Cards Per Page 3 Cards Per Page DETAILS To add context and help you stay organized, the cards are color-coded. Green - Prefix Blue - Numeric Prefix Black - Root Word Red - Suffix To save paper and ink, roots with the same meaning share a card.

We are pleased to introduce our latest celebration of menstrual cycles -- The Periodic Table of Your Period. An illustrated guide to all things menses, we have included everything from bloating to chocolate, corpus luteum to period underwear. My geochemist husband came up with the idea and of course I am always dying to draw happy tampons, fallopian tubes and mucous, so I finally got my chance! If you look closely, you'll find smiling condoms, IUDs and diaphragms in the Birth Control Series, alongside chemical diagrams of progesterone, folic acid and other important substances that course through your veins monthly. The first column is devoted to some of our favorite menstrual slang, a few highlights include "Shark Week," "Up On Blocks" and of course "Riding the Cotton Pony." This poster is vaguely NSFW, depending on where you work. There are cute little vaginas, horny uteruses and cock-blocked penises (how else can one illustrate abstinence?), so... maybe not the right thing to share with your kids. Visit our Good Ol' Menstrual Cycle poster for something more educational and kid-friendly.

Dream of Being Published and Cashing In? Writing a best selling book has always been appealing to me. To date... I have written no books. Nada. None. Zippo. Sadly, I just never got around to it. But hey... I still dream about it and hope to accomplish it. And I do write, all the time.
