Trekkie Canada Day Printable

Good Morning!

I've been searching the net for a Canada Day print that would be perfect for my little family, but did you realize how few there are? Canadian Patriotic products are truly few and far apart. I think my Pinterest board has most of them, and I hate that so many of them I have to pay for if I want their version!

In case you can't tell, yes, my family is a family of Trekkies :)

So this morning while nursing I created this little beauty. Click on the image for the high resolution google doc.

Do you have any Canada Day freebie? Share your link in the comments!

Superhero Obsession Part Two: Inspiration

As promised, today's entry contains my inspiration board for my imaginary classroom.

I will explain each part and if I can, I will share where the image came from.

To the original owners of these images, I hope no one takes offense to my sharing these images, please take this as the highest form of flattery!

I have a TON more ideas for this theme collected on my Superheroes Pinterest board. I add every idea I see, and regularly do Pinterest searches for this theme. Check them out here.


A:
Zero the Hero. I've seen a few different sources for similar units. I can use this for counting to the 100th day of school, and showing how the 0's (the ten's) make it easier to count to our goal. This particular unit includes a few different songs and poems. I wish I could find the link on my computer to this unit. I wish I pinned this version!

B:
On student's birthday's, one idea I like is to have a birthday cape for them to wear instead of the crown, I'm also considering a chair cover that hangs like a cape, but I've never seen anything like that. If you do that, I'd love to see a picture! This cape I found on Teacher Idea Factory.

C:
Classroom Helpers would be Hero of the Day, and to distinguish them, they could wear these "power bracelets" Image is via Pinterest. The original pin is missing, I wish I could track it down, sorry!

D: One part of my Classroom Management system will include these mystery heroes. Every day the teacher pulls the name of one student and spends the day keeping their eye on their behaviour. The class never ever knows who the teacher is following until the end of the day. If they did great, the hero is revealed and rewarded, of not, the hero remains a secret and gets to try again a different day. This image is from patiencepupstersprek.blogspot.com

E: I've been in love with these clip charts since I first saw them near the end of my last year teaching. I was going to implement one this year, but my job fell through. This Superhero inspired one comes from 3rd Grade's a Hoot

F: Every Lower Elementary Classroom needs day's of the week cards for yesterday, today and tomorrow. I love these themed ones from Preschool Printables

G: My last classroom had AWFUL curtains. How about replacing them with Superhero capes? From Mrs. Jones Superheroes

H: The internet is full of hero alphabets to choose from, here's one poster you could put up in your classroom. From Piccsy

I: I've never used the daily five, but I plan on using a form of them next time I teach. Here are a set of Superhero headers I found on Teachers Pay Teachers.

J: Every Superhero classroom needs calendar headers, here's a cute set I stumbled also from Teachers Pay Teachers

K: I used to have a bulletin board titled awesome work, next time I'll have one like this from mme. Borton

L: And  finally, I NEED to have comic book pows, bangs, etc decorating the random corners of my classroom like these one's from etsy.

Many of the rest of the ideas I've found are individual lessons, and are not long term ideas, but I love them all so much! It will be very hard to pull off this theme without going overboard.


Do you have any ideas I haven't pinned? Please direct me to them!!!!

Superhero Obsession Part One: Poster Freebies

I have a new classroom obsession. I've recently become a tad bit obsessed with having my next classroom be Superhero themed. I don't even have any idea how many years will pass before I'll have a class again, but I'm holding tight to this!

Today as part of Manic Monday I'll share a couple posters I whipped up, and in the next few days I'll share my inspiration board and some other ideas. I hope you'll check back!

Just click on the images to go to their individual google docs.



Do you have any suggestions or requests for matching posters? Leave me a message, and I'll post them in a follow up.


Have you thought of doing a Superhero theme?

The Weekly Four

You're probably scratching your head and wondering what the heck is the Weekly Four, right?

Well, for my Sunday School class next year I'm hoping to make my class more interactive, so I was inspired by the Daily 5!

The Weekly Four, at least in my room, will be as follows:
Play, Recite, Art, Your responses

P: Students will play a game or make something with playdough in reaction to the lesson.
R: Students will be studying memory verses, and this centre is where they will be able to recite them to me to earn their certificates.
A: Students will participate in an art or craft activity connected to the lesson.
Y: Students will write their own responses, letters, etc.

In the document you will find a poster, the four letters to cut out and mount, and the title card saying what each letter represents to display directly under the letters. I hope someone else finds these useful. I will post pictures of the room this summer.




Let me know what you think!
