Positive Paint Strips

Paint strips are free!! Yes, free and one of the most fun materials to use with students. Because I work with students that range in age I created a list of different inspirational quotes. Then the students selected a paint strip and chose one or more quotes to write on the strip. Some of them decorated them and others wrote several quotes- there were no rules. Then before they left for class they randomly selected one from the pile to take with them :)
