Let the games begin! These two signs sit right above my desk in my classroom. We will designate them as our "class motto" because they pretty much say it all. ;)
Don't worry...I have encouraging signs in my room too. One says "Every day is a gift" & it's hung just below the clock (ie, the most looked at object in the whole room). I thought this unique message would be appropriate to remind kids of as they were wondering how much longer they had to endure my class. :) I also have a giant dice with positive thinking words on it. I plan on rolling the dice in moments when the students are starting to get sassy or negative.
I am excited about this year. Today is off to a great start! The students I've seen that I had last year have gotten taller, the boys voices have gotten deeper & they seem to be excited to be back! Which is a blessing!
