Poster "Be Happy Not Sad"

The goal of this poster is to create an enthusiastic learning environment where students and teachers are challenged with engaging and open discussion on creating a Happy environment in the classroom. Question why a student may be feeling Sad, but with support and education a student can change to feelings of being Happy.

This poster creates discussion on feelings “Be Happy Not Sad” in a happy, safe, loving environment in the classroom. This poster highlights that from their feelings/emotions, how emotions manifest to thoughts and lead to actions.  I encourage a student to be AWARE of their emotions and how emotions may affect their thoughts (negatively or positively), which lead to their actions (safe or harmful).  How their emotions may affect other student(s) positively (safe and fun interaction) or negatively (e.g. bullying).  Become aware of their Emotions, Thoughts and Actions.  

This poster gives a good opportunity to discuss positive feeling of being Happy or Sad. Positive emotions/thoughts such as happiness, joy, play and creativity. To be mindful of playful interaction without fear.

I would like this poster to create awareness that if a student is aware of their positive feelings and with transformational education can CHANGE their MINDSET to positive feelings.
