I LOVE saving figurative language until June - it's such a fun language unit ... and perfect for our "dreaming of summer brains". We finished up our EQAO testing mid week, and this onomatopoeia activity was the perfect break from testing. How fun is that??? Students chose two contrasting colours - one for the background and one for the word and border "bursting out of the page". They also needed newspaper (cut just a fraction smaller that the "bursting out of the page border" and glued the newspaper on top. They glued their word on top of that (we had brainstormed a lot of onomatopoeia words, but for some reason most of them chose SPLAT for their word). I also had them do a little shading under their letters for that little extra POP (see, I know some onomatopoeia words, too). ;) I had seen this awesome idea on Pinterest and followed it back to Artisan des Arts. Her examples are FANTASTIC!! We also wrote simile poems this week. I found a little template HERE for the students to use for their rough copies. When students were finished their templates, I had them write out their good copies, and illustrate a few lines with a small image. I hung these up, too ... LOVING our bulletin board switch up ... even this late in the school year!!! (I have two of these "smART class" bulletin boards side by side in the classroom. 15 more school days left ... I think I can ... I think I can ... Happy Friday!!!

I was messing around on Canva one day, and ended up making a feelings wheel based on Brene Brown's Atlas of the Heart! As a therapist in training, I love having feelings wheels on hand to use with my clients, so I thought I'd share the wealth! Available in color & black & white. I'm also happy to share the template link, if you'd like to add your own touches! Just message me! Adapted from Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart (2021)

I got the idea for this activity here. I'm starting polynomial functions in my pre-cal classes tomorrow and will be using this activity. End Behavior Of Polynomial Functions Sorting Activity I'll start with a basic introduction to vocabulary (degree, leading coefficient), then I'm going to give each group a copy of the first page to cut out and sort based on the degree and leading coefficient. We'll then compare the end behavior of the graphs in each group to come up with the "rules" for polynomial end behavior. To make sure everyone gets it, I'll have them stand up and use their arms to show me the end behavior of some of the equations shown on the second page. I've also included the exit ticket I'll use to assess them for understanding. The last page is something they can cut out and put in their "Stuff You Must Know" folder (my current version of an INB that will be upgraded to a full on INB next year). Update: I'm also including my End Behavior Foldable for my INB
