Voice Level Posters
PURPOSE & BENEFITS
These voice level posters help your students understand the expectations for the noise level in the classroom. No more repeating which volume you want your kiddos at! This system is the perfect solution!
How to Setup
Print these posters in colour on cardstock, laminate and cut. Display them in an area where your students can easily see them. I recommend the front of your room or in your teacher zone. Hang a tap light next to each of the posters. This allows you to turn the light on next to which volume you want your students to be at. You can also use a clothespin or other visual marker if you prefer.
Posters come in two versions: BLACK background and WHITE background (both in colour). And both are available in FRENCH and in ENGLISH.

HOW TO SETUP
Simply print on cardstock, laminate and cut. They can be displayed anywhere in your classroom. I like to put them in an area that is easily visible to all students. Make sure you practice these hand signals often so that students become familiar with them.

PUPOSE & BENEFITS

These posters can be used perfectly with both Seesaw and Google Classroom!

Help your students feel a sense of community and connectedness with their teachers and fellow classmates while being safe!
HOW TO SETUP
Print on cardstock, laminate and cut. Display them at the entrance of your classroom, by your carpet area or anywhere else you would like your students to use these greetings. I like to choose 3-5 greetings at a time and change them up to make them more engaging. This also makes it easier to introduce and teach each one.
These greetings are available in FRENCH and in ENGLISH and include two versions: Square and Circle.
