This creative Winter Concert Decorations: Art Unit was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on the big screen. For this assignment, I asked students to get with a partner or into small groups and brainstorm subject matter, orientation, and theme of the overall composition. Plus, decide which group member(s) will be in charge of what to draw and where to draw it. Students will need to sketch out ideas first inside a sketchbook, transfer the sketches to Final Copy Paper, outline the large image, and start coloring in everything with crayon. Sadly, most other art materials will ruin the roll paper. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy!

Teachers, celebrate your students' hard work and foster a sense of pride in their accomplishments with this end-of-year letter template. Make each of your students feel special with this cute owl-themed "I will owls remember you" keepsake.

Features:

• Add text, photos or graphics

Celebrate the age-old tradition of blowing out birthday candles, even in distant learning times, with this delightful interactive resource!

The student will experience the joy of attempting to blow out all the candles at once, but as you advance the slide, they'll notice that only the ones on the right (or left) have been extinguished. They'll need to try again, blowing towards the other side. Finally, they'll have one last try to blow out the candles in the center. On the last slide, they'll be pleasantly surprised with a heartwarming "Happy Birthday" message personalized with the student's name.

The best part is that you have ample room for personalization and creativity! You can add vibrant balloons or any other ornaments, incorporate a cheerful Bitmoji, and even include a lively birthday song on the last slide.

Your feedback and ratings are highly valued as they allow me to improve and cater to your specific preferences. Your satisfaction is my priority, and I'm here to make your distant birthday celebrations unforgettable and full of joy!

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but that also force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character! Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when completing these challenges.

✈️The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

Editable End of the Year Letter to Students and Parents for the Last Day of School:

These editable (the greeting and signature fields are the ONLY editable portion of the letters) end-of-year letters to students and parents include an encouraging letter that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students (each letter contains a different message and is ORIGINAL).

The letter to parents has a female, male, and gender-neutral option. It also has three background color options and similar black-and-white backgrounds.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ PLEASE NOTE: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in the letters included in this file (the greeting and closing fields).

NOTE: The body of these letters are NOT EDITABLE. If you want a letter that you can edit, this is NOT the product for you. The greeting and signature fields are the ONLY customizable portions of this product.

The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds in black and white. Note: This letter does not require gender options since the teacher uses the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter, if you choose. If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein.

AGAIN, THE BODY OF THE LETTER IS NOT EDITABLE!

ALL THE LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I did NOT copy a letter that I found online and retype it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask prior to purchasing. If you aren't sure how to edit text boxes, I've included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.

Do you like to send a letter home to your parents and to your students at the beginning and the end of the year? These heart-felt letters from the teacher are sure to convey your genuine passion for teaching!
