All summer I have been thinking about what I want on my back wall and how I was going to decorate it. I love having something encouraging on that board. No, the students don't know what it says at first, but I tell them, and it reminds me during the year that we are in this together, and we can do our best.
I came up with the name Sunshine and Rainbows in Teaching for a couple of reasons. Obviously one is that I like sunshine and rainbows! They are beautiful!!! Rainbows are a vision of hope and remind me of God's love and faithfulness.
Another reason is that there is good in every day. Some days we can name so many things that were great that day. There are also days that it may seem really hard to find the good, but it is there. ALWAYS! We begin to appreciate and feel gratitude in the good AND the challenging days. As a teacher, it is important to find the positives and to stay positive because it impacts the children! They react to us and how we feel. I want them to enjoy learning and want to be at school! Nothing is sweeter than big smiles as they come in the classroom each morning because they are excited to be there! I like to start our morning with everyone sharing one thing they are grateful for, and they love hearing what each other has to say. Start each day with a grateful heart and find the sunshine and rainbows every day!
Soooo.... here is the bulletin board!! It came out just as I had envisioned! I LOVE it!!! The borders are from Schoolgirl Style (which are absolutely AMAZING)!! The letters are on my TPT. I printed all the letters on white and colored cardstock, so it was pretty simple to make! The poms are mostly from Hobby Lobby. I have also created this look using more poms to make a larger rainbow.
