Greeting my students with a smile and shouting a big “GOOD MORNING!” always does the trick to wake up my classroom. BUT… one other important tool not to overlook in the “be a positive teacher everyday toolkit” is the glamorizing of the white board. In the beginning of my teaching career, having a pretty whiteboard everyday wasn’t easy (because I had three different preps and three different classrooms!) Now that I am more settled beautifying my board is one of my favorite things to do in the morning as I am drinking my cup of tea and reviewing my lesson plan of the day. Here are some of my favorite tips to do inspire in your classroom:
- Use multiple bright and bold colors on the board
- Think of a fun question for your AIM– make it a grabber so students will want to be interested in your lesson
- Don’t forget to have fun! Your class should be be energized and vibrant especially to set the tone for the morning
Here are some photos of my boards!
It can be so difficult to create a PowerPoint everyday but I agree, in the end, its worth it. Enjoyed this post very much!
Love this! Thanks for this post!
