Gratitude Jar Bulletin Board

Our PBIS monthly theme is gratitude. While I was brainstorming a bulletin board idea, I stumbled upon an image of a gratitude jar in Canva. I decided to create it as a bulletin board.

This gratitude jar bulletin board was super easy to put together.

I added things to be grateful for, such as…
✨ Friends
✨ Family
✨ Teachers
✨ Education
✨ Hope

What else would you add? 

You can get a copy of the words for this bulletin board here or by clicking on the image below. 


I got a little carried away and made my jar too big for the space. I could barely fit the words - "So much to be grateful for!" - but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

I used Crayola Slick Stix to draw the jar and the accents (hearts and squiggles). I have used them for years. I love how Crayola Slick Stix write like a marker but look like a crayon. I linked Crayola Slick Stix in my Amazon store under favorite bulletin board supplies, in case you want to check them out. My Amazon store has links to my favorite school counseling products.

For the string around the top of the jar I cut the handles off of a gift bag. ;)

Take What You Need, Give What You Can Sticky Note Board

Image
Last year, I saw a lot of "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" Bulletin Boards popping up everywhere. I decided to fuel my new found love of printing on sticky notes and make a sticky note version. The idea behind the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" board is that you take a positive message that you "need" to hear or "give" (write) a positive or uplifting message for someone else to take. I displayed the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board on a window near the school counseling office. A traditional bulletin board could also be used to display this sticky note board.  I created 18 different positve messages to print on sticky notes for the "Take What You Need" side of the board. To make this "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board, you will need the following items: A printer Printer paper to print the sticky

Spring Mindfulness Bulletin Board with QR Codes

Image
I created this colorful, interactive, spring bulletin board for our March & April PBIS theme, mindfulness. I made this bulletin board interactive for students by adding QR Codes with different mindfulness activities. Since most things need to be touch-less right now, I thought using QR Codes would be an easy way for students to access some mindfulness activities. If you are not familiar with QR Codes, QR stands for Quick Response. QR Codes are scannable with a smart device camera (iPad, tablet, or smart phone). you can easily make your own QR codes by using a QR Code generator. You can link the QR Code to a website or online document. When the user scans the QR Code they will be directed to the link. I used  QR Code Generator  to create the QR Codes.  I got the idea for this bulletin board while looking for mindfulness resources. I stumbled upon a New York Times article about "Pinwheel Breathing." This sent me down a rabbit hole of brainstorming a
