\"motivationalIt’s important to have motivational posters in\u00a0classrooms, after school rooms, and in any areas where children spend their time and need inspiration to learn, play or explore. Special Education teacher Neva Fenno shares how these posters can make a difference for students, and which posters she has used in her classroom.<\/p>\n

The first classroom I was assigned was a blank slate. And I mean blank. Except for the water stains on the ceiling and the cracked plaster, there was no decoration or any indication that the room was for teaching. I visited in late August to get ready for the students (grade 4 SPED) to arrive, and was met by a true conundrum. What to do before my first paycheck to liven things up?<\/p>\n

We all spend our own money on our kids, it\u2019s just easier than trying to navigate purchasing systems in a big school district (although it gets easier over time). In 2013, 99.5%<\/a> of all school teachers spent over a billion dollars on back to school supplies.<\/p>\n

Today, we usually find at least a whiteboard in our classroom, and if we\u2019re really lucky, we have a SmartBoard\u2122<\/a>. But that still leaves a great deal of real estate to brighten up in a teaching space.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at some ways to use posters for inspiration and learning.<\/p>\n

Start with inspiring your kids to greatness:<\/p>\n

Everyone needs to be reminded of the many ways we can use self-talk to raise our spirits and inspire ourselves to greatness. Hang a few of Mindset Posters<\/a><\/strong> and use them \u2013 when you see a student being glum, discouraged, or not trying, take\u00a0them\u00a0aside and point to one of the posters.

I also like these Positive Messages Posters<\/a><\/strong> – which can be colored, and their messages are short and effective.<\/p>\n

\"positive<\/a><\/p>\n

These posters provide encouragement and affirmation for children that may be going through a tough time.\u00a0I have a laminator<\/a> in my classroom (don\u2019t forget the film<\/a>) and\u00a0it\u2019s great for protecting those spontaneous moment images we collect in our daily teaching.<\/p>\n

Paint-a-Dot\u2122 Braver…Stronger Poster Craft Kit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Easy as brushing on water – Paint-By-Water Poster lets you decorate a beautiful design of Christopher Robin\u2019s famous quote by A.A. Milne. The paint is in the paper, and with markers, glitter glue, brushes, and instructions included, creating this inspiring piece is fun and effortless!<\/p>\n

In my SPED classroom, I\u00a0have used\u00a0the \u201cPaint-a-Dot<\/a><\/strong>\u201d poster series. Just brush on the water and the image appears!<\/p>\n

This is a great interactive poster. If you see your students need some inspiration and motivation, plan an activity. Have them add water to one of these posters and read the message that appears. Have a discussion on what it means and ways they can remind themselves they are brave, smart, and strong.<\/p>\n
