This foundation paper pieced quilt pattern contains templates and diagrams for two identical dancing girls- one kicking towards the left and one kicking towards the right. When I designed this pattern I wanted to create a romantic and whimsical image with this umbrella girl singing and dancing in the rain. The quilt block for each figure measures 7 x 11 inch. This foundation paper pieced pattern has been updated it contains: 1. written instructions which include printing instructions, fabric requirements, tips on accurately sewing paper templates together and a formula for resizing blocks. 2. Diagrams which show the order in which to sew the paper templates together. 3. Colour diagrams which help you orientate the pieces. 4. Colouring sheets to aid in fabric selection and placement decision making. 5. Separate pattern pieces which include a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Printed in the seam allowance are instructions on how to join the sections together. Also included on the paper templates are symbols to aid in fabric placement and crosses which identify critical joining points and help to sew these together accurately. Basic paper piecing instructions are not included, but I have included a few tips and a link to the paper piecing tutorials on my blog.

I wasn't sure how these shaving cream rain clouds were going to turn out, but they were beautiful! I love any experiment that's easy enough for my kids to do themselves.

I don't think I've ever used the expression it's raining cats and dogs, but I have told my students to "shake it off!" My middle schoolers LOVE pop music and think it's really cool to learn language through song lyrics. I decided to share what has been successful in my room by creating a product with the latest hits for you. Top Hits uses today's pop music to explore figurative language. Multi-Model Approach You may find it helpful for students to read the full song lyrics and watch music videos prior to using the cards. Be sure to preview videos for appropriateness and search edited lyrics as needed. I also wanted to let you know that my SLP Runner store is participating in the TpT SALE!

This is a small-ish bathroom with mostly builder-grade features, including the typical outdated glass door and glued mirror, not-so-great tile floors that, according to Brissette, were so hard to keep clean, and an outdated vanity and light fixtures. Honestly, it wasn't too bad because it was in goo

In a previous post I talked about how I set up the beginnings of the rainforest in my classroom. Once that was done we used our class rainf...
The Rainforest is a tropical biome. The weather is hot and humid and rains most of the year. This makes the plants grow like crazy. So there’s a lot of vegetation. The giant trees soar into the sky. The woody vines climb the trees reaching for sunlight. The animals, in turn, climb the woody vines. […]
Teacher Sample One of my students was desperate to do a sloth project, and made her wishes clear each time we met for class. Eventually, the whole class was behind this request. To appease their yearnings and fulfill their wishes, I developed this hanging sloth project using watercolor with crayon resist for my group of 7 year olds. The results were just amazing - too adorable - and the kids were wild for this project. They all went home to make many more sloths on their own. See my time-lapse video here for a quick overview of how we did this project: Step 1: Drawing Draw the sloth in pencil. Begin with very simple basic shapes: body shape (like an large kidney bean), then head (round, oval shape) with eyes and snout, then back legs (thicker at the thigh, thinner at the ankle, arms (thinner than the back legs), branch (curved and uneven, with knots and stubs), claws (three pointy long fingers that are wrapped around the top of the branch. Refine all shapes for more accuracy. Draw several very large leaves which enter into the composition from at least three sides of the picture frame. Go for variety in shape and size. Leaves should both overlap and underlap the sloth to show depth. Step 2: Crayon Contouring Outline all the leaves, branch and the sloth in crayons. We used many greens, blues and yellows for the leaves, and added plenty of implied texture to the leaves indicating veins. We used many browns, black and white for the branch and sloth. Add fur texture to the body of the sloth using short dashed lines, and implied bark texture to the branch with short horizontal dashes. Be sure to use white in the sloth too, as this will show up nicely once the watercolor resists it. A ring of white or light pink can also go around the outside of the eye for contrast. With a permanent black marker, color in the black part of the eyes and the eyeball (leave a reflection spot in the eye). This could also be done in black watercolor. Step 3: Watercolor Using many greens, blues and yellows, and mixing combinations of these colors, paint the leaves. Using different browns, paint the sloth and the branch. Think of light and shadows: The underside of the branch should be darker, and upper side lighter. The bottom of the body is darker than the top, inside of the legs are darker than the outer side, etc. The kids grasped this concept and rolled with it, and their sloths took on really good dimension. The face of the sloth is A very light brown or beige color. Tip: Important is that watercolor is applied in light transparent layers, and darker values are slowly layered on. Step 4: Background - Negative Space With a small, round brush, paint the negative space in the background in opaque black. Students were very careful to paint along the contour edges of all leaves, sloth and branch, and made sure to fill up all the small spaces between leaves with a small detail brush where necessary. If the black was not dark enough after the first layer, add a second layer of extra opaque black paint for super strong contrast. Optional: To fill up empty space in your composition, add additional simple details on top of the black with crayon where there is space (for example, thin twigs, long grass, etc.) The kids were amazed by the magic of the crayon resisting the watercolor. We took off the tape to reveal the crisp white border. My seven year olds LOVED this process, and were so proud of their results. One mom told me her daughter took her cherished painting to bed that night. Now that’s love! Day 1 Progress Day 1 Progress
