Self-Esteem Bulletin Boards are helpful for reminding students to think positively about themselves and to feel good about who they are. Positive affirmation bulletin boards and ‘You Are’ bulletin boards are the most popular types of self-esteem bulletin boards that teachers usually create.
These bulletin boards are worded in two ways. They can have messages written in the first person or in the second person. The first person messages start with the phrase ‘I am’ and the second person ones start with ‘You Are’. The rest of the message is usually a list of positive attributes that students can see in themselves like brave, smart, intelligent, etc.
