Group Mural Art: Winter Concert Decorations. Fall/Autumn.

By Art Shack by JB

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!

This activity asks students to consider their role in the group, some traits that make a good team member and has them set a goal to be the best they can moving forward in the project.

*This product also includes 35 posters for a bulletin board that explain each topic above (a black-and-white copy of these posters is also included). A pre-assessment and a post-assessment are also included as well as sample answers or notes for each activity.

This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or just don't know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please take a look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it them your class. Older students will be able to use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Younger kids (4th grade and perhaps 5th grade) may need a bit more support depending on their level of exposure to growth mindset concepts.

There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. I emphasize SAMPLE because there are rarely any “correct” answers, as most of the warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their own thinking and growth. Occasionally, there will be a tip or trick in the sample answers. Those are there to guide you, but should not be viewed as an exclusive or ultimate idea for approaching a topic.

There are 35 posters that correspond to each of the 35 concepts presented. Please note that there are 40 weeks of warm-ups, but 5 of those weeks are reserved for self-reflection (and there is NOT a corresponding poster for those weeks).

The growth mindset pre-assessment and post-assessment are designed as reflection tools. These are not designed to be graded or evaluated in a formal way, but rather used as a tool to reflect on changes in thinking and behavior (most of the questions are the same so that students have a clear way to compare shifts in their thinking).

The scaled questions that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, small group, or the entire class.

Each 8th week (Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, Week 32, and Week 40), there is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning, their growth, and the areas they want to continue to work on. The inventory on these weeks will have statements that are REPEATED from previous weeks. It is a good idea to ask students to save their warm-ups for each 8-week period so that they can compare some of their inventory answers (looking for growth, in particular).

On pages 146-148 (at the very end of this product), you will find an OPTIONAL cover page and Table of Contents that you can use IF YOU CHOOSE TO BIND all the activities together for each student at the beginning of the year (or the beginning of the instruction). If you copy one sheet per week, your students will not need those pages.

NOTE: THIS FILE NOW INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

As of 4/23/20, this product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

Technology Requirements:

  • A Google Drive account
  • If sharing with students, a Drive account that is linked to student Google accounts
  • Can be shared/delivered on Google Classroom
  • Only need access to Google Drive--no outside links to worry about!

These file can be used with iPads, chrome books, laptops, and desktops as long as your students have access to Google Drive or Classroom on a device. The digital portion of this product is on Google Slides.

By Kirsten's Kaboodle

These back to school or first day of school welcome letters to students and parents are perfect for any elementary teacher who wants to start the year on a positive note! These welcome back to school letters come in printable and digital forms for whatever you prefer.

Please note: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in this file (the greeting and closing fields).

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option to send paperless letters (via email or through Google). Look at the final six pages of the FILE for instructions on digitally sending these back-to-school letters to students and parents!

PLEASE NOTE: THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE. THERE ARE EDITABLE FIELDS IN THE GREETING AND SIGNATURE ONLY! If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, this is NOT the product for you!!

This welcome back to school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents and a letter that teachers can send home with students. Each letter comes in a variety of border choices and black-and-white versions.

  • The letter to parents comes with a neutral gender, a boy, or a girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter). This letter has three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds in black and white.

  • The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a neutral/boy/girl option since the teacher uses the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

  • The new letters that have been added for 2020 can be found at the BEGINNING of the product file. You will find them on the first eight pages following the instructions for editing the text boxes in the greeting and signature fields.

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 and the size is 14. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.

By Kirsten's Kaboodle

Please note: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in these files (the greeting and closing fields).

PLEASE NOTE THAT BOTH OF THESE FILES INCLUDE A SPECIAL 2020 LETTER TO ADDRESS EDUCATION CHANGES AS A RESULT OF THE CORONAVIRUS. COVID-19 WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE WAYS WE DELIVER INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS AND THESE LETTERS ADDRESS THAT UNCERTAINTY.

NOTE: The body of these letters ARE NOT EDITABLE. The only editable fields on these letters are the greeting and signature fields. If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, these letters are NOT for you!

Please read the description for each product below:

BACK TO SCHOOL LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:

This welcome back to school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students. Each letter comes in a variety of border choices and black-and-white versions.

  • The letter to parents comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well the corresponding backgrounds in black and white.

  • The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

  • The new letters that have been added for 2020 can be found in the BEGINNING of the product file. You will find them on the first six pages following the instructions for editing the text boxes in the greeting and signature fields.

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 and the size is 14. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped 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.

END-OF-YEAR LETTER TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS:

AN ADDITIONAL SPECIAL 2020 VERSION OF THESE LETTERS HAS BEEN ADDED to account for the changes that occurred in the 2020 school year due to the COVID crisis. These letters make note of the fact that your school year ended early unexpectedly due to the coronavirus.

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option so that you can send paperless letters remotely (via email or through Google). Look at the final page of the GOOGLE SLIDES FILE for instructions on sending these end of year letters remotely!

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 field are the ONLY customizable portions of this product.

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 comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well as similar backgrounds in black and white.

The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

Growth Mindset Activities: Multi-Level Bell Ringer Daily Warm-Up Journals BUNDLE

By Kirsten's Kaboodle

Growth Mindset Activities MULTI-LEVEL BUNDLE: Bell Ringers with Digital Options

This Growth Mindset Bell Ringer Warm-Up MULTI-LEVEL MEGA-BUNDLE for is right for you if you:

  • teach in a multi-level classroom or school
  • teach students with special needs during different times in the day
  • are meeting the needs of students with varying language abilities or students who are acquiring English
  • homeschool your children and are looking for a growth mindset warm-up that every child can do at the same time

NOTE: THE DIGITAL PORTION OF THE KINDER-1ST GRADE BELL RINGER IS ACCESSIBLE IN SEESAW!

THE DIGITAL PORTION OF THE 2ND-3RD GRADE AND 4TH GRADE AND UP BELL RINGERS ARE ACCESSIBLE IN GOOGLE SLIDES!

Please note that this bundle contains THREE PRODUCTS. It includes growth mindset bell-ringers for K-1, growth mindset bell-ringers for 2-3 grade, and growth mindset bell-ringers for 4th grade and above. These products are not perfectly aligned in terms of weekly topics because of the differences in student needs between these grade levels.

This is what you will find in each product:

GROWTH MINDSET K-1 WARM-UPS:

These growth mindset activities are perfect for teachers who are looking for easy-to-use, information-packed, daily growth mindset instruction in the form of warm-ups, bell ringers, or station activities. These 200 activities, which span across 40 weeks, will give you everything you need to teach your KINDERGARTEN OR 1ST GRADE classroom about all things growth mindset! Please look at the thumbnails and preview to assess the appropriateness for your class.

NOTE: This pack of activities may be TOO DIFFICULT for Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year! I advise Kindergarten teachers to wait for a couple of months to begin OR be prepared to do the activities as a group (or provide extra support). Some warm-up activities will be quick, but others will require discussions and extra time to complete.

Please note that there are 40 TOPICS that come with affirmation posters. You will also find over 40 vocabulary cards to support the new growth mindset verbiage your students will learn. I advise teachers to display the vocabulary as it is introduced (on a bulletin board or whiteboard). INSTRUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK TO INTRODUCE NEW VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS. Be prepared to support students each day during the warm-up as well.

The following topics are covered, week by week, in this full-year growth mindset instructional package:

At the very end of this product, you will find an OPTIONAL cover page and Table of Contents that you can use IF YOU CHOOSE TO BIND all the activities together for each student at the beginning of the year (or the beginning of the instruction).

This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or just don't know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please take a look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it them your class. Some students or groups of students will be able to use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Other students or groups of students may need a bit more support depending on their level of exposure to growth mindset concepts.

There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. I emphasize SAMPLE because there are rarely any “correct” answers, as most of the warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their own thinking and growth. Occasionally, there will be a tip or trick in the sample answers. Those are there to guide you, but should not be viewed as an exclusive or ultimate idea for approaching a topic.

There are 35 posters that correspond to each of the 35 concepts presented. Please note that there are 40 weeks of warm-ups, but 5 of those weeks are reserved for self-reflection (and there is NOT a corresponding poster for those weeks).

The growth mindset pre-assessment and post-assessment are designed as reflection tools. These are not designed to be graded or evaluated in a formal way, but rather used as a tool to reflect on changes in thinking and behavior (most of the questions are the same so that students have a clear way to compare shifts in their thinking).

The scaled questions with emojis that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, small group, or the entire class. There are no incorrect answers for these exercises.

Each 8th week (Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, Week 32, and Week 40), there is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning, their growth, and the areas they want to continue to work on. The inventory on these weeks will have statements that are REPEATED from previous weeks. It is a good idea to ask students to save their warm-ups for each 8-week period so that they can compare some of their inventory answers (looking for growth, in particular).

At the very end of this product, you will find an OPTIONAL cover page and Table of Contents that you can use IF YOU CHOOSE TO BIND all the activities together for each student at the beginning of the year (or the beginning of the instruction). If you copy one sheet per week, your students will not need those pages.

*This product also includes 35 posters for a bulletin board that explain each topic above (as of 10/23/17, a black-and-white copy of these posters is also included). A pre-assessment and a post-assessment are also included as well as sample answers or notes for each activity.

This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or just don't know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please take a look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it them your class. Older students will be able to use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Younger kids (4th grade and perhaps 5th grade) may need a bit more support depending on their level of exposure to growth mindset concepts.

There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. I emphasize SAMPLE because there are rarely any “correct” answers, as most of the warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their own thinking and growth. Occasionally, there will be a tip or trick in the sample answers. Those are there to guide you, but should not be viewed as an exclusive or ultimate idea for approaching a topic.

There are 35 posters that correspond to each of the 35 concepts presented. Please note that there are 40 weeks of warm-ups, but 5 of those weeks are reserved for self-reflection (and there is NOT a corresponding poster for those weeks).

The growth mindset pre-assessment and post-assessment are designed as reflection tools. These are not designed to be graded or evaluated in a formal way, but rather used as a tool to reflect on changes in thinking and behavior (most of the questions are the same so that students have a clear way to compare shifts in their thinking).

The scaled questions that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, small group, or the entire class.

Each 8th week (Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, Week 32, and Week 40), there is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning, their growth, and the areas they want to continue to work on. The inventory on these weeks will have statements that are REPEATED from previous weeks. It is a good idea to ask students to save their warm-ups for each 8-week period so that they can compare some of their inventory answers (looking for growth, in particular).

On pages 146-148 (at the very end of this product), you will find an OPTIONAL cover page and Table of Contents that you can use IF YOU CHOOSE TO BIND all the activities together for each student at the beginning of the year (or the beginning of the instruction). If you copy one sheet per week, your students will not need those pages.

NOTE: THIS FILE NOW INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

As of 4/23/20, this product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

Technology Requirements:

  • A Google Drive account
  • If sharing with students, a Drive account that is linked to student Google accounts
  • Can be shared/delivered on Google Classroom
  • Only need access to Google Drive--no outside links to worry about!

These file can be used with iPads, chrome books, laptops, and desktops as long as your students have access to Google Drive or Classroom on a device. The digital portion of this product is on Google Slides.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:

  • This back-to-school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents and a letter that teachers can send home with students (each letter contains a different message).
  • The letter to parents comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Including all versions of the parent letter (gender, color, black and white), there are 12 pages.
  • The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Including all versions of this letter, there are 6 pages. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.
  • THE BODY OF THIS LETTER IS NOT EDITABLE! 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 and the size is 14.
  • BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.... none of your parents will have seen this one (at least in 2016, as it was created in June 2016).

END-OF-YEAR LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:

This letter has three color background options as well the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white.

  • 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.

If you have any questions, please ask me prior to purchasing!

AND AGAIN IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... IF YOU TEACH MORE THAN ONE GRADE LEVEL, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BUNDLE FOR MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS BECAUSE THE LETTERS FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL AND THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL ARE THE SAME! Please message me if you are interested in more than one grade level and I'm happy to create a custom bundle for you.

NOTE: THESE FILES INCLUDE A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

These products include a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The digital portion instructions appear at the end of each packet.
