Teacher confession #1,973,293: I am a horrible artist. Even my stick people look like they fell out of a tree that was frozen solid and hit every branch on the way down. #seriously #kindergartenstyle However, anchor charts are SO important in elementary classrooms so I knew I needed a work around. Guess what? I found it and I'm willing to help all struggling artists out today! You're welcome!
It's Meghan from Keeping Up with Mrs. Harris. Today, I am sharing a very well kept secret that those Pinterest Boards do not tell you...if you can't draw, it's ok sister!
Yes, I tried my very best! That is all that counts right? So this is the before picture. And NO...HECK NO...this cannot be displayed on a wall.
Let's start with supplies because you have or can get those.
- Post-It Anchor Chart Paper
- Mr. Sketch Markers
- Colored Pencils
- Pencil
- Clipart!!!
With your newly purchased clipart, print the image enlarged. I typically do 200% and click poster. This will allow the image to be larger than a single sheet of paper. The image you see above is four pieces of paper.
Now watch as the magic happens...
YES! You can make pretty anchor charts! Just give it a try using this technique. This anchor chart is part of my Presidents Day plans that I am using next week. If you want to see the rest of the plans and grab the #freebie, head over to my website by clicking here.
