What is This New Resource?

Our Winter Poems and Activities resource includes ten simple poems, each with a unique winter theme like snowflakes, skiing, and snowmen. Designed for beginner readers, each poem uses simple words and rhyme to help students practice fluency and understand poetic rhythm. Weekly comprehension worksheets (with an included answer key) prompt students to reflect on details, fostering both enjoyment and deeper learning. Plus, we’ve included poetry writing templates to encourage students to create their own winter-inspired poetry!

Benefits of Incorporating Poetry into the Classroom:

3. A Fun, Engaging Way to Learn Language
   Poetry introduces language concepts in an enjoyable, memorable way. The seasonal themes and language in each poem make learning fresh and exciting, helping students relate language skills to experiences outside the classroom.
4. Creative Expression and Writing Practice
   Our resource includes 30 poetry-writing templates, which invite students to try their hand at creating their own winter poems. Writing poetry allows young learners to experiment with words and structures, building confidence and excitement around writing.

Incorporating poetry into the classroom can transform language lessons into something truly magical. Winter Poems and Activities for Grades 1/2 provides teachers with ready-to-use resources that will keep students engaged, learning, and inspired.

This resource invites students to explore the beauty of nature while engaging with important academic concepts in a fun, interactive way.

What is Ephemeral Art?

Ephemeral art is a form of temporary, nature-based art made from natural materials such as leaves, sticks, rocks, or flowers. What makes it special is its fleeting nature—ephemeral art doesn’t last. Wind, rain, or even time will eventually erase these works of art, returning the materials to the earth. This makes it an ideal form of creative expression for young learners, as the focus is on the process, not the end product.

With our Ephemeral Art resource, students will discover the joy of creating temporary masterpieces while connecting with the environment around them.

Resource Highlights

• Slide Deck: A visual and engaging introduction to what ephemeral art is and how it ties into math and science.
• 5 Guided Outdoor Activities: These hands-on activities guide students in creating ephemeral artwork while exploring concepts like patterns, symmetry, and shapes found in nature.
• Reflection Worksheets: After each activity, students have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and solidify their understanding of the math and science concepts behind their creations.

Why Choose Ephemeral Art?

1. Quick and Accessible:
Ephemeral art can be completed within a short time frame, making it perfect for outdoor breaks or shorter class periods. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to integrate art into your day.

2. No Materials Needed:
Students use what they find in nature—no need to buy supplies! Whether it’s a collection of colourful leaves or a handful of rocks, these activities encourage students to see everyday objects in a new light.

3. Eco-Friendly:
Ephemeral art teaches students to create sustainably, using only natural, biodegradable materials. They’ll learn to appreciate the impermanence of their creations and the beauty of nature’s cycles.

4. No Clean-Up Required:
Because the artwork returns to nature, there’s no clean-up! This means you can focus on the experience and leave the “clean-up” to the elements.

5. Connecting to Nature:
These activities foster a deeper appreciation of the environment. By observing their surroundings, students begin to notice patterns, textures, and colours in nature that they may not have paid attention to before.

Lots of Learning Opportunities!

Through these activities, students will explore:

• Patterns and Symmetry: Whether it’s arranging leaves in a spiral or balancing stones, students encounter the natural symmetry and patterns found in the world around them.
• Shapes in Nature: Students will develop an understanding of geometry by identifying and creating shapes found in nature.
• Environmental Stewardship: By working with nature, students gain a sense of responsibility for the environment, learning that they can create without leaving a lasting impact.

We invite you to introduce your students to the world of ephemeral art, where creativity meets nature and learning goes beyond the classroom. Stay tuned for more new resources from Teacher Resource Cabin designed to make teaching both fun and meaningful!

Crayon resist is a fun and simple technique that combines waxy crayons and water-based paints. The process starts by drawing an image with crayons, and then covering the entire piece with a wash of watercolours or tempera paint. Because crayons are made from wax, they “resist” the paint, allowing the colours and designs underneath to shine through. This creates beautiful, multi-textured artwork.

Introducing the Farmer’s Field Crayon Resist Art Project

Our Farmer’s Field Crayon Resist Art resource is designed for Grades 1-3 and gives students the chance to explore line art in an accessible, creative way. Using the crayon resist technique, students will design their own farmer’s field landscape, with a barn, line textures, and the open sky. This assignment focuses on different types of lines such as straight, curved, and zig-zag.

This resource provides everything you need, even if art isn’t your specialty! We’ve designed this unit to be accessible to all educators.

What’s Inside the Resource?

• 10-Page Teacher Guide and Worksheets: The guide includes step-by-step instructions and helpful teaching tips.
• 32 Google Slides: Use these ready-made slides to introduce the project to your class. They cover key concepts, such as the different types of lines, and provide visual examples to inspire students.

Materials Needed

You won’t need an elaborate supply list to get started—just the basics! Here’s what you’ll need:

• White watercolour paper
• Crayons (assorted colours)
• Watercolours or tempera paint cakes (or tempera paint mixed with warm water)
• Paintbrushes
• Paper towels or cloths for clean-up

Step-by-Step Learning

The unit is structured to ensure students not only have fun but also understand the art concepts at hand. The Types of Lines section teaches students about the many ways they can use lines to create texture, movement, and depth in their art. They’ll then apply these lessons by drawing and painting a barn and a farmer’s field. The resource also includes a rubric to help you assess their understanding and application of line art.

Perfect for All Classrooms

One of the best features of this resource is its flexibility. Whether you teach in-person or remotely, the combination of Google Slides, printable worksheets, and easy-to-follow materials makes it adaptable to your teaching environment.

Incorporate this Farmer’s Field Crayon Resist Art project into your lessons, and watch as your students learn about art in a hands-on, exciting way. With no previous art experience required, you can create memorable lessons that foster creativity, develop fine motor skills, and deepen your understanding of artistic techniques.

Let’s get ready to create some colourful farm landscapes!

Media Landscape in Recent Years:

In the past, media literacy education primarily focused on traditional media such as printed books, magazines, newspapers, and television. Though these topics are still incredibly important, teachers are now responsible for learning modern media forms and relaying their information to their students. With the rising use of social media, such as TikTok, as well as AI ChatGPT technology, students must learn to question the sources of their information and the motives behind their creation.

I remember vividly teaching high school fitness classes and seeing just how quickly TikTok emerged. I figured it would be a short-lived trend, but found out in a matter of weeks that it rapidly changed the social media landscape and it would be here to stay.

Oh, the struggle to stop the in-class TikTok dances!

Unique Tips for Teachers:

There are several unique tips that teachers can incorporate into their classrooms to help their students become media-literate digital citizens. Here are a few:

1. Start Early: Introduce media literacy to students as early as possible. Fortunately, media literacy education in Ontario begins in Grade 1, but – let’s be real—most children are already heavily engaged in media consumption before Grade 1. Because students are already exposed to media, it’s important to teach them how to navigate it from a young age.

2. Analyze Advertisements: Use advertisements as a tool to teach media literacy. Analyze the messages that advertisements convey and the tactics they use to persuade viewers.

3. Encourage Critical Thinking: Encourage students to ask questions and think critically about the media they are consuming. Teach them to consider the source of the information and to question whether the information is reliable. Case studies are a great way to present scenarios with questionable sources of information or bias.

Teach students to consider the sources of information and how to recognize bias.

4. Teach Digital Citizenship: Teach students about digital citizenship. Digital citizenship is the ability to navigate digital environments such as social media safely. A good digital citizen is responsible and considerate and can respectfully engage in these spaces. Developing strong digital citizens requires teaching online safety, privacy, and responsible online behaviour. Again, case studies are a great way to do this!

Digital citizenship is the ability to navigate in digital environments such as social media in a safe way.

5. Engage Parents: Involve parents in media literacy education. Encourage parents to talk to their children about media literacy and to monitor their media use.

Where to get started?

Teaching media literacy to elementary students in Ontario is crucial in today’s digital age. For those wishing to design their own resources, we always recommend beginning with the curriculum and planning your programming around these expectations. However, for those looking to purchase a program, we recommend our Teacher Resource Cabin media literacy units.

Topics found in these workbooks vary depending on curriculum expectations, but common themes include media purpose, stereotypes, and media techniques. Also included are engaging vocabulary, activities, small projects, and quizzes. Each page is directly linked to an Ontario curriculum expectation, ensuring that you cover everything you need to in your lessons. Plus, our suggested activities and instructions make it easy to incorporate other ideas and create a complete, comprehensive unit.

Teaching the importance of Remembrance Day goes beyond just acknowledging historical events; it instils values like empathy, gratitude, and the understanding of the profound impact of war on individuals and societies.

The Importance of Teaching About Remembrance Day

1. Fostering Empathy: Teaching students about Remembrance Day helps them develop empathy and understanding for those who have served in the military and the sacrifices they’ve made. This empathy extends to their families, as they comprehend the emotional toll of war. It encourages students to connect with the stories of veterans and war survivors, recognizing the human faces behind the history.
2. Promoting Gratitude: Remembrance Day serves as a reminder to be grateful for the peace and freedom that we enjoy today. By teaching students about the sacrifices made by past generations, we help them appreciate the privileges they have.
3. Encouraging Critical Thinking: Discussing the causes and consequences of wars and conflicts encourages students to think critically about the world they live in.
4. Honouring Tradition: Observing Remembrance Day allows students to become part of a national tradition. They learn about history and actively participate in honouring the legacy of those who have served.

Resources for Teaching Remembrance Day

To help you teach about Remembrance Day, we have developed several resources suitable for different age groups:

Literacy Activities for Grade 1-3 and Grade 4-6: Our literacy activities are designed to engage students of various age levels. They include reading comprehension exercises, vocabulary lessons, and poetry prompts, allowing students to explore Remembrance Day from different angles.

Bell work refers to an activity or task that students do at the beginning of class to focus their minds and prepare for learning. Thought-provoking, creative bell work is a great way to begin a literacy block and establish writing as a daily practice.

Fortunately, resources, such as the Teacher Resource Cabin’s daily writing prompts exist so that teachers don’t need to think of their own writing prompts.

These writing prompts provide everything you’ll need for a year’s worth of bell work prompts. These are a great way to spark student interest and engagement. This resource includes 100 writing prompts themed for each day of the week, giving your students the structure and routine they need to thrive in the classroom.

The slides can also be printed and used as writing task cards. Best of all, this resource is paperless! Students can record their responses online or in their own journals.

In addition to providing structure and routine, the Daily Bell Work Writing Prompts resource is also great for facilitating classroom discussions. By having all students start with the same prompt, you’ll be able to dive deeper into a topic and help students make connections between their ideas.

This resource is flexible as it is suitable for daily tasks in distance learning classrooms or homeschooling. This flexibility allows you to provide consistent bell work activities no matter where your students are learning.

Also, the Grade 1-3 primary prompts are available in French!
