Poinsettia images for homeschooling – free use for you. Created on Canva

Ideas for these images:

These images are meant to be poetry backgrounds which you can use to add any type of text to such as you can create greeting cards, images, your own social media posts, add quotes to, or use in any of those ways for homeschooling.

If you are a homeschooling parent who can use these graphics, then download all of the ones that you like and present one to your child, ask them to get inspired and see if they create something with it.

My daughter Lilli is not writing poetry into these right now but she is using them to create greeting cards, poetry backgrounds, they can be used for memes, jokes, anything.

In homeschool, they can be added as pops of color to any Christmas materials.

  1. Download the background
  2. Add your text on top
  3. If possible, share your creation back on X @evelovestar

If you or your child create something creative, consider sharing with us.

More Christmas content soo,

Songwriting: Give me my guitar

Dear reader,

This is a cool song I wrote many years ago.

I have a very old video singing it. I will not show you because it was too awful.

But, I created the lyrics for the song in a better way today.

I am looking for singers or musicians to sing this or any of my other songs. Just ask and I will allow you to.

Lilli is creating a Pandacorn (my newest song) animation right now which is simply adorable.

With love,

Eve

Words: Advice vs. advise

Dear reader,

English is my second language. learned it as an adult. Since I love to learn properly, grammar has been my best friend.

With this short poem, I was trying to make the distinction between advice and advise after I realized I had used the improper spelling of the word. Actually, I thought it was only one word long ago.

When you write, you learn. My advise if you are trying to make a distinction between the two words is to use them in writing. I know now, before, while I was confused and knew I could make a mistake, I would search the difference and find help from a blog post like this one or an article.

Difference between advice and advise

The difference between advise and advice is simple:

  • Advice is a noun, meaning a suggestion or recommendation. Example: “She gave me great advice.”
  • Advise is a verb, meaning to offer a suggestion. Example: “I advise you to listen carefully.”

Tip: Use “advice” when you’re talking about the suggestion itself, and use “advise” when you’re talking about giving or offering that suggestion.

To advice is a verb or a word that refers to action. The action is advising. The word is spelled with an s whenever you say TO ADVISE or ADVISING because these refer to the verb or the action of advising another.

A noun is a thing, wether a physical thing like a table or a non physical thing such as advice

Sentences and examples

When someone is giving a suggestion or recommendation, the action is called advising. So, “advising” is the act of offering advice.

Advice is the thing: the words or suggestions and to advise is the action of saying the advice.

For example:

  • Verb: “The teacher is advising the students to study.”
  • Noun: “The advice she gave was helpful.”

Just remember: the action of giving advice = advising!

Here are a few simple sentences for children to help them remember the difference between advise and advice:

  1. Advice is a thing you give.
    • Example: “My mom gave me good advice on making friends.”
  2. Advise is an action you do.
    • Example: “Teachers advise students to study hard.”
  3. Advice has a “c” because it’s like ice—a thing you can have.
    • Example: “His advice helped me.”
  4. Advise has an “s” because it’s like say—something you do.
    • Example: “Doctors advise us to eat healthy.”

These can make it fun and easier for children to remember the difference!
