I love to post inspirational quotes on the white board each morning as students enter the classroom. Starting the morning off on a positive note helps set that tone for the entire day and the kids can't wait to see what the new quote is. At first, I wrote all the quotes on the board but as the year went on, I had several students beg to do it for me. Now, I rotate through the class list and each student gets an opportunity to write something positive and sign their name to it. It warms my heart to see what fourth graders have heard or feel is important in encouraging their fellow classmates.
Here is one of my all time favorite quotes. It is prominently displayed in our classroom and I post it on all my e-mails underneath my signature.
"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think."
(Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh)
