Inspirational Quotes for Students

When decorating your classroom for back to school, having inspirational quotes for students on the walls or your bulletin boards can make a huge difference. Since your students will spend a lot of time in your classroom, why not share empowering messages and ideas from successful people, leaders, and other historical figures that they can observe and learn from throughout the school year? These printable inspirational quotes posters are easy to use and ready to display with minimal effort, making them a perfect last-minute option.

Inspirational Quotes by Theme

There are many different inspirational quote themes listed below that are ready to print and display in your class! Some posters you may choose to print and display all year, while others you may choose to rotate throughout the year, such as the seasonal quote posters! Each set of posters can be printed on regular 8.5 by 11-inch printer paper, and while they look best printed in color, they can also be printed in black and white. Check out the following themes for different ideas!

Growth Mindset Quotes Posters

These posters remind your students to keep trying, even in the midst of short-term failure, and help them develop a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset, which is a great message for students to take away from being in your class!

There is now an editable version of the file included so you can change out any of the prompts or edit the directions.

⁣
This first day activity is a great combination of a traditional ice breaker and an introduction to your social studies course content, so it was always our favorite way to start the year! One of my favorite parts about it was having a chance to have that first one-on-one conversation with each student. ⁣

Hello hello! It's been a long time since our last Hello hello! It's been a long time since our last post, but we are excited to be back and look forward to sharing more teaching ideas this year! It is also exciting to see many new faces here! Welcome! ⁣
⁣
Today we figured it was fitting to share some of our new printable welcome banners. We have specific sets for Ancient Civilizations, U.S. History, Geography, and many other designs that are linked in our bio. ⁣
⁣
I didn't even realize printable welcome banners were a thing early in my teaching career...I remember buying stencil letters, some thick permanent markers, and coloring in the letters I wanted by hand. It was tedious and not the best use of my time. This sounds like a first year of teaching mistake, but this was year 4 😂⁣
⁣
Don't make the same mistakes that I did! These are so much faster, and you can edit them to spell anything you want!
Happy New Year! We hope you have had an excellent Happy New Year! We hope you have had an excellent winter break so far and that your 2022 is off to a good start!⁣
⁣
We also want to thank you for all of your support of us at Mr and Mrs Social Studies! Creating resources for you to use in your classrooms is such a privilege. We love getting to nerd out and research different historical topics and eras, while also creating new templates and activities! ⁣
⁣
We are pleased to report that we added 133 new resources to our store in 2021 and were able to donate over $10,000 to educational and social justice organizations and non-profits, as part of our initiative where we donate 10% of our TPT profits every month.⁣
⁣
We have a lot of new resources and helpful content planned for this year, so stay tuned! Thank you again!
While the concept of a morning routine or evening While the concept of a morning routine or evening routine might already be something you are doing, you may be able to establish some time-saving routines during your school day! ⁣
⁣
For example, you might set a routine for your plan period, such as replying to emails, making copies, checking your teacher mailbox, followed up by prepping your agenda for the next day. Alternatively, you might schedule routines that only happen on certain days of the week. For instance, maybe Tuesday and Thursday could be grading days, and you don’t even think to check or update grades on the other days of the week. ⁣
⁣
While a routine is still new, it might be helpful to put a little reminder about it on a post-it note or set a reminder on your device until it becomes habitual!
After the time change, it’s always a bummer how After the time change, it’s always a bummer how quickly it gets dark outside. The colder weather certainly does not help either. However, we have found that putting up some fairy lights in a central part of the home makes a huge difference in our mood. It makes our home feel much more warm and almost magical, and we’ll keep the lights on from dusk until we go to bed. If you are struggling with this too, we highly recommend trying it!
Did you know that we have curriculum videos with d Did you know that we have curriculum videos with details about how to teach each of the major Ancient Civilizations units? These videos walk through our favorite resources to use, how we organize our unit plans, and other general tips or reminders to make your planning easier!⁣
