Watercolor Technique
By Dmitry Terner First off I would like to finally clear up a question a few of you might have asked or wondered about: is it watercolor or watercolour? Now then, watercolor is a medium that scares and discourages many people, because it is unpredictable, difficult or impossible to correct or change, it leaks, it streaks, and makes the paper buckle. Supplies No one can do wonders without the right tools. Brushes- When you go to pick out your watercolor brushes you are faced with the choice of natural or artificial hair. *note: remember watercolor brushes are the ones with the short handles (just a reminder) A large wash brush- size does not really matter, what you need is a rather cheap large round soft brush to make washes over large areas such as backgrounds. Regular brushes- these depend on the size you want to work, for this technique I would not recommend anything larger than 10x12' so the brushes you need are round sablette #s 8, 6, 2. The basics ! important The process (my way)

The Inspired Classroom
As you are going to discover, I adore foldables. Many of my postings will show the foldables I use in my classroom. Here is my model for plant parts. To create it, a regular sheet of copy paper (or in the case of my model, cardstock) is folded in half, hotdog (or lengthwise) style. Inside, using the cuts as a guide, my students and I fill out the information needed for each plant part, in particular the job of the part. Once the foldable is ready, students use them to study from and to self test. Tip: reluctant artists may find free hand drawing a flower intimidating.
Fun Free Stuff to Print
What’s Here Part of maintaining a well-run classroom is having lots of kid-friendly learning tools, such as centers, manipulatives, flashcards, pocket chart activities, and so on to make lessons interesting and interactive. Unfortunately, filling your classroom with these types of things can be expensive and searching for free stuff on the internet is time-consuming. So, I’ve collected a bunch of incredible sites with FREE printables of all sorts–NOT just worksheets! Most of the printables are in Word form, meaning you can change them as you see fit, but all that’s really needed is to print and use! Sites with Too Many Resources to Specify The Virtual Vine has all printables listed on one page for quick and easy reference. Carl’s Corner is probably THE BEST site for free primary literacy printables on the ‘net right now. ILoveThatTeachingIdea.com has hall passes, bingo boards, Venn Diagrams, graph grids, and more printables, plus lots of great teacher tips. Now What?
