Are you looking for some practical ways to help make your kindergarten (K-3) classroom bright and happy?
Our easy-print cute posters are bright and colorful and feature positive, motivational messages that little learners understand.
So many teachers have told us that they love seeing the smiles on peoples faces as they walk into their classroom! They also say:
- the cute posters complement any classroom decor
- they make the classroom welcoming
- the kids love coloring the matching pages
Today we wanted to give you a quick peek at Set 1:
The posters included are:
- Be happy (hippo)
- Stand tall, wear a crown, be sweet on the inside (pineapple)
- Keep on moving (school bus)
- Be the reason someone smiles today (frog)
- Be a rainbow in someone's cloud (rainbow)
- You matter (apple)
- Be the change (butterfly)
- Have a fancactus day (cactus)
- It's owl good (owl)
- Courage doesn't have to roar (lion
- Have a happy day (sun)
- Tiny seeds grow big ideas (flower)
Please note, my illustrations are whimsical and the animals are playful colors, not true to real animals.
The included blackline version can be used to conserve ink toner in your printer - just print on bright colored paper.
They also make for lovely coloring pages and painting projects. Students will love seeing their work up on display and helping to create the classroom decor.
If you have limited display space, try printing the posters '2 to a page' to make smaller posters.
The posters can be used to open a discussion, building classroom community.
- talk about the message, unpack its meaning and contextualize it for your cohort of students
- ask students to give examples of how the positive message can be 'seen' in the classroom or school - how can their actions and words demonstrate this practically
- draw pictures to reflect aspects of the message
- ask students to think of books you have read in class that reflect the message or where a character has behaved accordingly
- read books that value students identity, diversity and help make everyone in the class feel included
Over in our TPT store, you can also find a free sample! Here is a You are fantastic! fox themed classroom poster and coloring page.
