In high school, my favorite English teacher started class off each day with a journal entry. Sometimes it was free writing. Sometimes we wrote an entry about the book we were reading. & some days she had things written on the board, like correcting a sentence. I especially liked when she would write an inspirational quote on the board. They really made my day sometimes. She inspired me to do things like this in my classroom. It really makes for a good classroom discussion sometimes. Of course, I don't think I'll do this everyday in my class. I plan on utilizing many different forms of "bell ringers" to start off our day. This is just one I wanted to share with you all. Here are some inspirational quotes I could see myself using in my classroom:
"Treat people as if they were what they ought
to be, and you help them become what they are capable of becoming." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can
do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve." Mary Kay Ash
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the
world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead
"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." B.B. King
