Free Resource: All About Me Poster - An Identity Education Printable
Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday Funday! Today, I want to share a fun freebie with you! This year, my school's theme is "Building an Identity to Be Proud of!" So far, it has been an incredible initiative, and it has brought a high level of intentionality to the school experience.
As one of the first school-wide activities to promote our theme and to get our students thinking about their identity, students created these #MyIdentity posters:

Step 2:
Challenge students to be intentional by creating hashtags to bring purpose to their actions:
"I am" - Have students write a hashtag defining who they are
Example: I am #AWellnessEducator
"Striving to be" - A hashtag establishing who they want to be
Example: I am striving to be #AnIntentionalTeacher
"Who you will see" - A hashtag proclaiming what the student will be seen doing
Example: Who you will see #ThrowKindnessAroundLikeConfetti
Step 3:
Spice up the posters with coloring + construction paper and put them up on the classroom/hallway walls!
We did this as a school-wide activity during the first few weeks of school. We took photos of every student (350ish kids) and had them printed at Costco. After students designed their individual posters, we hung them up throughout the entire school. Every day I see teachers, students, parents, and visitors reading the posters. It is so cool to see how a simple project can have such a huge impact on the school culture and climate!
