Quotable Quotes!

 
This week, I added 2 new quotes in our room. I had a local artist, Kal Barteski, create a favourite quote of mine in her amazing script and vibrant colours. I just love it! I then found a cute "play on words" which I framed and placed in our classroom. The students noticed both right away!

It made me think of how I don't want the quotes just to become part of the wall, and get ignored! So today, students had to choose 3 quotes and explain what it meant to them, then give an example of the quote in action. It was super neat to see how mindful the students were! There were over 20 quotes to choose from posted along our walls! Whoa!

Here are their thoughts . . .
