And we are super excited about this one 😆
These Directed Drawing Slides will automatically play one step at a time while your students follow along creating their own masterpieces. Now you will have time to actually finish that coffee we all know you weren’t getting to!!
As Kindergarten and first grade teachers, we constantly were looking for systems and routines in our classroom that could help us get the best bang for our buck.
Our vision for this resource is for teachers to use one of the many ELA practice writing pages from this resource to enhance or compliment their language and writing objectives. They can push Play on the Automatic Directed Drawing Slideshow and students can follow along independently as it takes them step by step through the tutorial.
This will give teachers 5-15 minutes to take a deep breath, drink some of their cold coffee, prep materials for another lesson, check that never ending email inbox, or whatever else they may need to do that day!
Then students can complete one of the following ELA writing practice pages that best correlate with your learning objectives.
- letter sounds
- writing words
- writing sentences
- writing conventions
- adjectives
- verbs
- fact
- opinion
- story elements
Teachers can either buy these resources separately depending on the Directed Drawing they want, monthly with 4 Directed Drawing slideshows each, or a Growing Bundle for the whole year (48 slideshows total)!
We would set up a weekly writing center in kindergarten or a Fun Friday activity each week using these Directed Drawing slideshows so that our students would get used to the procedures and expectations. Then this entire resource can run like a well oiled machine WITHOUT your help!
Students will know exactly what to do, have so much fun creating their masterpiece, and will get so much amazing practice while hitting a variety of language, writing, and even reading standards! Watch the TikTok below to see all of the gorgeous components!
