Critical Thinking Skills Posters

September 23, 2015 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Hello everyone out there in blog-land! It’s been a super crazy busy start to this school year so I’ve been a bit MIA on the blog (but you can find me on Instagram more often)! I have a student teacher this year, I am Junior Class Advisor (and this week is Homecoming week), and I have my normal course load to attend to so my plate has been full! However, I’m here with another set of FREE POSTER PRINTABLES for your classroom!

As a social studies teacher, I’m always seeking ways to work on my students’ critical thinking skills. Discussions within my academic department at school lead to the realization that many students lack a basic understanding of what some of this critical thinking terminology means. We ask them to analyze, infer, evaluate, and interpret information and sometimes assume they know what these words mean. Thus, I decided to create a set of four ‘CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS‘ posters to put up front and center in my classroom. This way we can all reference these definitions and examples when working on various tasks during daily lessons!

The posters come in two sizes…a basic 8.5″x11″ standard paper size that can be printed on any printer at home or school and a larger 11″x17″ which I had printed onto thick photo stock at Staples for a total cost of $8! One of these days I’m going to open up a ‘Teachers Pay Teachers’ shop but for now, these are FREE, FREE, FREE for you so grab them while you can! Enjoy!

That’s a wrap on all things Halloween! 🎃 I find my That’s a wrap on all things Halloween! 🎃 I find myself acutely aware of how short this season of motherhood will be, the time when my little one is SO excited about alllll the holiday things. Trying to truly be present and savor all these beautiful moments.
Witches Night Out is one of the best nights of the Witches Night Out is one of the best nights of the year! Main Street comes alive with witches of all kinds. Music, dining, shopping on a perfect fall night. Just one of the many reasons to love Smithfield!
I typically decorate for the general fall season r I typically decorate for the general fall season rather than specifically for Halloween, but this year I’ve really leaned into the holiday. Over the last month or so I’ve found so many fun decorations that give off “cute” Halloween rather than “spooky” (although the witches are bordering on the spooky side)! C is at the perfect age to really love the decorations, plus now that we are in a neighborhood, others can hopefully enjoy our decor, too! 

Tell me, do you decorate for Halloween? 🎃 👻 🧙
Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA for a friend’s birthday and fell in love with the sweetest little barrier island town. We stayed @keywestcottages, shopped and dined at many locally owned places (highly recommend Island Creamery for the best homemade ice cream), and we even spotted some of the infamous wild ponies at Chincateague National Wildlife Refuge. On the drive home we did some antiquing and popped into Cape Charles (another darling little town) for lunch. I would love to take C back one day because it’s is a pretty family friend town as well. Such a sweet spot for a long weekend getaway!
Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeli Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeline, aka “Emmie”! We found her after visiting several local shelters and are happy to report that she is settling in well. She’s super sweet & affectionate…C is smitten! 🥰
Sometimes you just have to drop everything and giv Sometimes you just have to drop everything and give something a makeover, am I right?! 🤣☺️ C has a little craft table in our living room so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cabinet to corral all her art supplies and some toys she frequently plays with…I finally found the perfect piece for $50 on FB Marketplace! We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺
