Created by

Sprout Classrooms

I've been wanting to create this board for-ever! It's perfect to use for emotional regulation and morning meetings that focus on character education. I finally gathered all the plushies (Amazon links included in the bundle) and grabbed a shelf from Hobby Lobby. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the black vinyl wording on the top and bottom-both cut files are included and can be used with the Studio software.

Disney's Creative Process Display

Created by

Sprout Classrooms

I've always been fascinated with Walt Disney's creative process. The story says he had three physical rooms in his animation studio-one for the 'Creative', one for the 'Realist' and one for the 'Critic'. In the Creative room, ideas flew. No ideas was a bad idea. Everyone was encouraged to go out on a limb, and the walls were covered with contributions. In the Realist room, the big ideas met reality. Disney and his animators started to ask 'would this actually WORK?'. They became harsh judges

To fulfill our NGSS requirement of sustaining a long-term observation within the classroom, our fifth grade team is using plant observations! Students were able to design their own experiment, choosing from a variety of seeds, containers, soil types, watering methods, growing locations and light sources. The trick? They could only pick ONE of these to be their variable! I created this booklet to help them visualize their experiment-they had to outline exactly how they were going to grow Plant

After students change the character's thinking, it's time for them to change their own t
