Affirmation wall

Affirmation walls

Students' well-being is one of the most important things. As teacher we must make sure our children are well and feel safe in the classroom environment. This Affirmation wall would be a really great way to get boost up children's confidence and self-esteem, not only physically but emotionally. This activity can be implemented at any point of the school year, then could be continued by discussing different affirmations and why they are important. This could be done student-by-student or have the student anonymously post something on the wall for someone. If one student has a turn every week then everyone is able to write and post positive affirmations about them. This gives students the opportunity to write beautiful and meaningful affirmations for someone else. This would continue on until each child has had a turn and then we would do another round of affirmations for each student. The goal is to create an open environment where they feel comfortable and safe.
