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!

We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

I can’t get enough of these cute visitors (and also know I won’t be spending a ton on landscaping since most plants won’t stand a chance)! 🤣

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!
Facebook Marketplace for the win! I’m so in love w Facebook Marketplace for the win! I’m so in love with my recent find…the curves are just so darling! I often see many great finds on Marketplace but because I don’t have a truck or trailer, I have to miss out on a lot. I knew this desk would fit in the back of my SUV so I jumped at the chance to grab it. What’s your favorite secondhand find?
