Title of Bulletin Board: "Otter"ly Healthy and Successful School Year

Category: Beginning of School

Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Materials: Background paper, border, pictures of otters with health tips

Description:

This board was created to remind students of things they can do to be healthy and successful as they start a new school year. My students know how much I love otters, so I found pictures in Google Images of otters being adorable and related the pictures to tips for health and success at school. This board is in a hallway that all students (K-6) pass through frequently and I am expecting that the cute otters will cause them to pause and then they will read the tips and ideally, put them into practice.

Additional Information:

The tips include:
Wash hands often.
Eat a healthy breakfast every day.
Drink plenty of water.
Get enough sleep.
Take time to relax.
Play 60 minutes each day.
Celebrate your successes and those of others.
Learn from mistakes and challenges.
