Help me give my students positive illuminating messages to light up our classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Colton's classroom raised $956
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Incorporating inspirational quotes into your classroom is a great way to get your students motivated, thinking critically, and discussing deeply. Inspirational quotes are also an effective way to directly teach character traits and life skills that need to be reinforced.
By starting the day on a bright note with a warm greeting, students feel happier about coming to school and approach learning with a more optimistic mindset.
The act also helps build relationships between students and teachers, which is an important part of making connections for learning for the rest of the day.
It really can bring up your self-esteem. Starting the day by reading a positive message affirms that it will be a good day and allows you to put out more positive vibes into the universe. Positive vibes lead to a positive life, higher self-esteem, self-love, and higher achievements in academics.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
