Description
Create a positive classroom environment with these vibrant We Believe statements! These visually appealing posters help establish clear behavior expectations, promote positive behavior, and enhance classroom management.
These belief statements can change an entire classroom culture. Rather than introducing or creating ‘class rules’, these basic tenants are ideals my class holds about our classroom, our work together, and the world. Short, sweet, and easy to remember, these phrases have tremendous power.
Within the first few weeks of school, we discuss (as a class) the implications of these statements, students collectively decide which fit for our classroom (with my support), and as we add them to our walls we ask “How will my actions reflect these beliefs?”

To create this space in my classroom, I used black bulletin board paper. Then, I printed the statements on cardstock, cut them out, and then, added a coordinating color of cardstock behind them. Then, I laminated and re-cut the belief statements. I printed the letters for “WE BELIEVE” on cardstock, cut them, and glued them onto my piece of black bulletin board paper. It was a fairly simple process with huge effect in my classroom. (The posters look great in color or black/white.)
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like anything else included in this pack, please let me know!

I had one last bulletin board to complete. I had an idea in mind that would coincide with a GOAL theme. I plan to have my class refocus on personal and academic goals made before the Christmas break. I decided to create a eye-catching and captivating bulletin board for all of my students to see and comment about by using WE BELIEVE! It was so easy to print, cut out, assemble according to the my needs. Thank you so very much for sharing! I cannot wait to “hear” my students’ hearts as they reflect on each poster our first week back to school and beyond!
