What is an Affirmation Station?
An “Affirmation Station” is a place in the classroom where you have hung different signs or posters that have variations of the phrase “I am…” or “We are…”
Students learn to repeat the phrases when they need a confidence boost and a reminder of how much they are loved and valued in the classroom! In each set I have created, I have 20 statements that you can cut out and hang up.
Where should I put my Affirmation Station?
Often times, teachers will hang their affirmation station around a classroom mirror. Do you have a blank bit of wall you can hang a dorm-style mirror on? Cut out the affirmation posters and hang them around the mirror! Students can repeat the phrases to themselves. Talk about a confidence boost! These posters can also be hung near the classroom door. Students can repeat them as they enter or leave the room. These posters are meant to be seen and spoken!
Why do I need one?
Including an affirmation station in your classroom is an excellent way to introduce a growth mindset and help foster confidence in your students. Now more than ever, students need their teachers paying attention to their social-emotional learning. Including this station in the classroom is an easy way to remind students they are loved, important, and working on being their best selves each day. This station is also a fantastic addition to a calm-down corner. Sometimes a student needs a moment to take a breath. Give them an opportunity to repeat these phrases and soon they will be ready to rejoin the class!
