Positive Vibes Only!!

My Students

Our students come from impoverished neighborhoods, the entire population are eligible for free lunch, and many lack basic “success” tools. What makes them so resilient is they come to school with the desire to get educated the best way they know how. Students who display positive behavior should be celebrated. I am in the process of creating a positive behavior room where students can play games, earn incentives, and hang out with other peers who display positive attributes. Classroom management has become an issue across the board for many educators, but giving kids an incentive to help adjust their behavior for a conducive environment.

My Project

As we continue to instill positive words and positive energy into our students, visuals support what we stand on in our middle school academy. The vinyl will be used to add positive quotes throughout the building, so that our students continue to know that the world is full of positive people, despite the circumstances of the pandemic. Our students will be the Ambassadors, encouraging other students and staff to be kind, positive, and emphasize self-care. The learning outcome will be to remain steadfast in the face of adversity. This is a hands-on project that will allow other students to start the domino effect for living a more positive life.
