Kids will love this daily dose of creativity and teachers - you’ll love all the ways you use these pages! Designed for the classroom teacher, this product serves as a valuable resource in enhancing your curriculum, while providing students a creative outlet, and presenting you with a unique and insightful tool for assessment. As an elementary school art teacher for over 20 years, I can attest to the significance of adding student artwork to your arsenal of assessment. It truly can highlight important information about your students, assisting you in your effectiveness as a teacher. This product includes 20 September “picture prompts.” All you need are drawing/coloring materials such as pencils, markers or crayons and you’re good to go. In this September pack, the prompts reference summer vacation, names, initials, birthdays, family, pets, classic school icons and activities – while also addressing dreams, primary colors, simple perspective, pattern, line quality, habitats, character traits, symmetry and design. Each page provides just enough visual and written information to get your students engaged, informed and started. The length of time to complete each activity will vary and the level of difficulty varies slightly as well. That said, the activities are designed to suit a broad age group, with many open ended activities. *ALL the pages are created to give your students a sense of pride and success at the end. Please check out the Preview to see the remainder of the pages you don’t see here. As a classroom teacher, the versatility of these pages are ideal. Use the “postcard activity” in your writing unit, the “school bus symmetry” in your math unit – build a bulletin board around the “birthday cake” activity. Use them for class projects, centers, fast finishers, homework, extra credit, incentives, bad weather days. And although the product was created for classroom teachers, ART TEACHERS will find it a perfect pack of lessons for sub days. Welcome back and have a great year! These original picture prompts will surely put a smile on your kids’ faces, and possibly spark a few new ideas for you as well!

We wrapped up Friendship Week today. We did a lot of discussing what it means to do a friend and what are some fun/safe things you can do with your friend. I created this fun matching game to use in our sensory bin. I dyed some rice for the first time and it turned out perfect! It also reminded me of grass, so I found pictures of kids on the playground. On the cards I wrote words that describe what a good friend does, like share, help, kind, etc. Then, we picked a card, read the word, and discussed the word more. I added these fun "Buddy Builders" from Amazon and they were perfect "friends" for our park. This book is a great way to talk about the nice things our hands can do. Especially, if you have any kiddos who like to use their hands in an unsafe way ;) I also dyed noodles for the first time, too! We used those noodles to make friendship necklaces! We also used a bead kit for friendship bracelets :) Click on image to grab this bead kit! These peanut butter and jelly color matching cards were a huge hit! We played restaurant and worked together to serve the correct colors. I got these from The Homestead Teacher! Grab them HERE! We like to think of words that start with each letter. When we are out, we will see a letter and I always have to think of something that starts with that letter. It totally helps connect learning, so I made these "F is for friends!" page and we decorated the 'f' different supplies. For our play dough invitation, I printed off this cute friendship clip art set from Creative Clips! We put the friends in our play dough and pretended we were playing at the park! The last game we did was this fun math activity! We had to help the boy get to his friends by rolling our dice and counting each circle. It was a great way to practice some counting, number identification, and taking turns! Grab these activities HERE! *NOTE: the play dough friends are not included in this due to terms of use, but they are free for you to download HERE!
