I want to do anchor charts with my class, but I stink at drawing. Who here does anchor charts and lack drawing skills? How do you do yours?

What I'll do is find videos online that teach me how to draw simple objects. lame I know but they're super relaxing and easy to draw afterwards 😂. If the drawings are too complicated, cut and paste onto them! Get the kiddos involved to help paste the pictures ok the right side too.

Here are four of my recent charts. I photocopy the pictures from books and then laminate the pictures- I can remake the charts if I want but I can reuse the pics because they are laminated.

im semi-artistic but you shouldve seen my llamas for math today. i just try my best and tell the students to do the same when they draw, it doesnt have to be perfect or even good but as long as i tried my best and i can tell you what it is! after modeling it this way for a few weeks you should see how much more theyre willing to do with their drawings now too!!!

I REALLY stink at drawing. I've learned to just laugh and the students do too. It helps when they say they can't draw something. I tell them to remember my drawing and that as long as it looks "ish" it will be good. ("This looks a little cat-ish, dog-ish, cow-ish, right?") Sometimes the kids will point out that my drawing looks like something totally different than what I was attempting. We just laugh and laugh. Sometimes it's good not to be perfect.

I ALWAYS preface my drawing by saying, “I am not an artist”. Then the kiddos are super sweet and tell me that my drawing is good. 😊👍🤭👏

I do as well. Depends on what I’m making. For my characters chart- will gives a definition of what characters mean- I make photocopies of characters straight from books and place it on the chart. For other things I go online and find a picture of what I want and draw it to the best of my ability and it works out.

My settings chart- this is old. I make it better now. Will post my recent charts this week if I remember

Clip art. I stink, and we laugh together. "Mrs. G, your horse looks like a cow..." You should have seen my ape!"

Married to a crazy rich girlfriend and it's the worst experience of my life. She can afford anything, flying first class everywhere, wears all branded stuff and she doesnt have to work for life. I am working very hard to provide for family and I am still not able to add any value to her life and she's been distancing herself. We havent had any meaningful interaction in the past 1 year too, been sleeping separately, no touch/kiss/sex or anything like that. We might be divorcing soon...

Really struggling with a few students in my kindergarten class this year and looking for suggestions. I've been teaching K for 10 of the 16 years I've been a teacher, and have never felt as disrespected by students as I do this year. Several students continually talk, yell, and laugh over me, or make noises when I am talking. They are sent away from the group to reset and make a better choice, but usually continue when they return. Parent contact has been supportive, but hasn't helped.

What are your routines for cleaning up after indoor recess?? My class gets so energized and loud during this time, and as they come to the carpet they are still having lots of sillies 🤪

How the heck can I teach a kindergartener over the computer? It's all hands on in my class for the first couple of months. I have made and bought so many manipulatives but I can't send twenty home with the kiddos. When we do go back to in person learning they want to separate my kiddoes into two groups and I have to move between the two classes to teach. I'll be hauling my stuff on a cart to each class! I'm overwhelmed at the thought of all this.
