6 Trait Posters






Someone asked me for a copy of my 6 Trait Posters that hang on my wall, and actually I found these many years ago from a website. I believe it was kimskorner4teachertalk.com which has not been updated since 2008, so I couldn't find the posters on her site again.  I had to convert the file to be able to post them. I LOVE these posters.Get POSTERS HEREPin It

 FOR WRITING
 In the younger grades, students do a lot of illustrating with details in their pictures. I discovered that bundling up their colored pencils and markers and teaching them to take only one out at a time and then slide it back in before taking out another one, works FANTASTIC. No pencils on the floor, no pencils rolling around, and no mixed up colors. Store them in a box or bucket and WAAA LAAA, you're ready to go!.
