Reminding students they are enough should be done on a regular basis and this bulletin board gently sends that message loud and clear!
From the creator:
“I did this board for the school counselor using a motivational saying.
Butterflies were 3D and purchased supper cheap from Amazon.
Fabric background 3 yards of sky blue, and clearance glittery white tulle gathered for the boarder.
Letters were cut from black and glitter blue card stock using the Cricut.”
How can you use this board with your students?
- Instead of adding remade butterflies, have students create and color in their own unique creations. Discuss how they’re butterfly is perfect just the way it is.
- Do a journal writing prompt “What does it mean to be enough? Do you feel like you are enough? Why or why not? Discuss the entry with individual feedback via the journal paper.
- Have students practice reminding each other how special their friends and classmates are. Each student fills out a slip of paper with a compliment on it for each student and the papers are given to the recipient to read in private.
