“Giftedness is not what you do or how hard you work. It is who you are. You think differently. You experience life intensely. You care about injustice. You seek meaning. You appreciate and strive for the exquisite. You are painfully sensitive. You are extremely complex. You cherish integrity. Your truth-telling has gotten you in trouble. Should 98% of the population find you odd, seek the company of those who love you just the way you are. You are not broken. You do not need to be fixed. You are utterly fascinating. Trust yourself!”

Figurative Language Bookmarks Manic Monday FREEBIE


Welcome to another Manic Monday!  I made these Figurative Language bookmarks awhile ago when I was trying out some new techniques using Powerpoint to make printables.  

As you have already noticed, I am also obsessed with all things chalkboard.  I forgot I had uploaded them until I came across them the other day.  They had been downloaded hundreds of times, without my needing a blog post!  

I decided they would make a great Manic Monday Freebie as many of my bloggy buddies south of the border are getting ready for Back to School.  Warm up your colour printers and laminators!

Classroom Freebies Manic Monday


I find that while teaching reading, it is important to refer to the different types of figurative language frequently.  I have poster sets up on bulletin boards in my classroom, but I found giving my students different bookmarks during the year was also helpful.  

Print on cardstock, cut in half and laminate!  EASY!

      Amy,
      Let me know how they turn out. You will probably get to do them before I will. I was learning how to change out backgrounds when I made them. I think I might even make other coloured backgrounds to practice!

    Dee,
    My pleasure! The book is not hard to find. You can order it from Amazon or from Chapters Indigo (in Canada). Worth adding to any classroom library!

    Theresa,
    Thank you! I tried to use examples the kids might hear in everyday language or a song "shine bright like a diamond"..thank you Rhianna! I am glad you think you might be able to use them. I just really wanted to have a set and I didn't want to buy pre-made ones.
