Rights and Responsibilities of a Child Posters and Notebook Size Prints

Just like adults, children also have rights and certain responsibilities that come with them. These printables highlight 12 of the rights and responsibilities explained in the UN Charter. I created these posters with kid-friendly graphics and simple sentences to make a clear distinction between both terms. There are 12 Rights and Responsibilities that come in black and white and color. These posters work well as notebook pages or anchor charts for social studies or character education lessons. I included mini version for you to use as reading cards also. This set works well with Children’s Day which is recognised on various days in many places around the world, with Universal Children’s day celebrations or it can be used all year round to enhance social skills.

Feelings - {We Let Our Feelings Show!}

(0)
Feelings: We have many feelings in common, some are good and some are bad. However, the difference lies in what we do with them. We must teach our kids to accept those feelings and to learn how to manage them well. We need to tell our kids that these feelings are shared and also that we must devise reasonable ways to cope with them. In this poster set there are 12 colored Feelings posters and 12 black and white posters all sized 8.5 x 11 for elementary classrooms. That is a total of 24 posters. These posters show kids who share common feelings and emotions using various facial expressions and body positioning. They are aptly named :- -Angry Ana -Confused Connie -Content Contessa -Embarrassed Emma -Excited Exodus -Proud Preston -Shy Shane -Happy Harry -Sad Sam -Scared Scout -Shocked Sheldon -Worried Wilma In this set you also get 12 Feeling Shuffle Cards that stimulate small group discussions. I also created a mini book that goes along with the characters entitled ‘My Feelings Matter’ This is a great chance to get your kids writing about feelings they share with the poster characters. You may choose to guide them with this activity to get the best results. You might also be interested in: Feelings Mini Book.

These posters are a great classroom display for them to refer to whether setting goals for a day, a week, a month or a year. Included are three (3) classroom general posters:- one with a boy playing soccer, one with a girl playing soccer and one with a simple breakdown of the S.M.A.R.T. goals.

Back to School Classroom Rules - {Bright Stripes}

Classroom Rules. It is always a good idea to set your class on the right path from day one. It is also a good idea to create the rules with your students. However, I want to share some baseline rules that I believe can transcend any classroom simply because they collectively spell out most of what teachers would want for their classrooms. The following rules are contained in this set:- We enter our classroom quietly and all lined up. We leave our classroom quietly and all lined up. We listen when others are talking, especially our teacher. We look carefully and follow the directions of our teacher. We use a quiet voice and tone. We only speak louder when presenting. We are kind and respectful to our teachers and to each other. We help keep our classroom clean and tidy at all times.. We always keep our hands and feet to ourselves. We raise our hands when we have a question or when we need help. We share with our friends when they are in need. We work quietly at our desks and do not disturb our neighbors. We walk carefully in the classroom and hallway. We always greet our visitors with a smile when they enter our classroom. I am pretty sure that they cover a wide area. However, if you are in need of additions to this set, let me know through the question and answer tab below..

Positive and Negative Behaviour Cards Sorting Activity and Poster

Classroom Rules This is a set of both positive and negative classroom behaviour sorting cards that can double up to create a reminder poster for young students. This is a way for them to recognize acceptable and unacceptable behaviours and to keep their behaviour in check. The cards can be used over and over or they can be permanently mounted either on the teacher’s desk facing the students or on the classroom wall or door. The teacher may choose to discuss each scenario depicted while students get an opportunity to place each one where they belong. For the wall option coloured ribbons can be used (red and blue) preferably to reflect the choices. All Rights Reserved by © 2012-2018 Nicole Hernandez

It's back to school so it's time to get organized! These large and colorful classroom helper cards are great for getting your kids in tuned with what responsibility is all about. All you need to do is determine which helper cards you wish to show on the chart, print and laminate. You can mount the cards on the display board using velcro or sticky tack or you can hot glue ribbon down the middle to the back of each card vertically. The size or length of your chart depends on the number of helpers you choose. If it turns out too long you can make two or more columns, depending on your board space. This set contains the following helpers done in two different designs: Pencil Sharpener Paper Monitor Chair Stacker Door Monitor Eraser Librarian Energy Monitor Line Monitor Table Captain Plant Technician Desk Inspector Animal Trainer Teacher Assistant Attendance Person Homework Monitor Bulletin Board Coordinator Messenger Calendar Captain Caboose Substitute Clean Sweepers Computer Kid {Also included is a description of each of the classroom helpers task. } **If you would like me to customize the list for you before purchasing simply use the 'Ask a Question' forum to contact me or email me.
