Whether you're working on self-esteem, social-emotional learning, or simply want to add a motivating activity to your classroom routine – these templates give you plenty of flexibility. The material includes 96 hand-drawn door hangers in three differentiated formats: – Pre-filled with strengths (ready to color and hang) – With gaps for students to add their own words – Completely blank for free design and writing All versions are included in both color and black-and-white, making them perfect for creative work, quiet time, or even as a thoughtful take-home project. Fonts are provided in print, tracing, and decorative styles – so you can adapt the activity to your students' level and needs. What makes it practical for teachers: I’ve used these door hangers when starting a new school year, during transition phases, or when I wanted to quietly support students’ confidence.

Easy prep, lots of uses: Print, cut, and let students decorate their door hangers with drawings or personal messages. You can hang them on lockers, desks, or classroom walls. Some teachers also use them for class community projects or parent nights. This activity encourages self-reflection in a gentle and creative way – and reminds students that recognizing their own strengths is part of learning too. This is more than just a decoration – it’s a tool for early math learning wrapped in a bit of adventure. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Therapy Dog Rules Poster Helping Students & Dogs Feel Safe and Happy! 🐶✨ Having a therapy dog in school is a wonderful experience. There’s something truly special about how dogs help students feel calmer, more focused, and even more motivated to learn. But to make sure that both students and the dog feel safe and comfortable, we need clear and easy-to-understand rules. That’s why I created this Therapy Dog Rules Poster—so that everyone knows how to interact respectfully and kindly with the school dog. 🐾 Why This Poster is a Must-Have for Your Classroom or School ✔ Gives students clear expectations – Kids need to know how to behave around a therapy dog, and this poster makes it easy to remember! ✔ Reduces stress for the dog – When students understand the rules, therapy dogs feel more relaxed and happy in their school environment. ✔ Supports social-emotional learning – Encourages empathy, patience, and responsibility—great lessons that go beyond just interacting with a dog. ✔ Works in any classroom setting – Whether you’re welcoming a therapy dog regularly or just preparing for a visit, these guidelines help create a smooth and positive experience for everyone. 📌 What’s Inside? 📜 A Printable Therapy Dog Rules Poster ✔ Simple, easy-to-follow rules that students can understand at a glance ✔ Friendly, inviting design to make the message clear and approachable ✔ Available in multiple formats for flexible printing and display 💡 How to Use This Poster in Your Classroom or School 📍 Introduce the rules before the first therapy dog visit. Go over the rules together and talk about why they’re important. Encourage students to share how they think dogs might feel in different situations. 📍 Keep it in a visible spot. Hang it up in the classroom, hallway, or near the therapy dog’s resting area. The more students see it, the easier it will be for them to remember! 📍 Use it as a discussion starter. Talk about respect, kindness, and responsibility—not just toward therapy dogs, but in everyday interactions with people too. 📍 Encourage positive behavior. When students follow the rules, acknowledge their effort! You can even let them read a story to the therapy dog as a reward. Why Teachers & Schools Love This Poster ✔ “The perfect way to set clear expectations before our therapy dog visits!” ✔ “The visuals make it easy for younger students to understand.” ✔ “Students now remind each other of the rules, which makes everything so much smoother!” 🐶 A Small Change That Makes a Big Difference Therapy dogs bring so much joy into schools, but a well-prepared environment makes all the difference. This friendly and easy-to-read poster helps students understand exactly how to interact with a school dog in a safe and kind way. 📥 Print it today and help create a positive, stress-free experience for your school’s therapy dog! 🐾✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Chemistry Blackboard Cards – Chemical Elements 1–118

Chemistry Blackboard Cards – Chemical Elements 1–118 Visual support for teaching the periodic table in grades 7–11 🧪🧲 This printable set contains blackboard-sized cards for all 118 chemical elements, designed to make the periodic table more accessible and interactive in your classroom. Each card includes the element’s name, atomic number, and chemical symbol in a clean, easy-to-read format – perfect for whiteboard work, displays, and hands-on sorting tasks. The cards are arranged two per A4 page and can be printed, laminated, and reused across many lessons. I’ve used them to build a large-scale classroom periodic table, support sorting games by group or period, and even for spontaneous quizzes at the board. What’s included: 118 blackboard cards (PDF format) Each card shows: element name, chemical symbol, atomic number 2 cards per A4 page for easy printing Black-and-white, ideal for printing and possible color-coding How it’s used in class: These cards are great for front-of-class instruction but also work well in group activities or as a station-based task. Students can work in teams to arrange the elements in correct order, match symbols to names, or explore relationships between groups and periods. Because the design is simple and consistent, students can focus on the content rather than being distracted by layout. The cards support visual learning and active participation. They’re especially useful for mixed-ability classes: more confident students might work from memory, while others use a printed periodic table for support. You can also let students take on teaching roles by explaining selected elements to peers at the board. This is a practical tool for visualizing chemistry concepts – no extra prep required beyond printing and cutting. Laminate for longer use. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

Beautiful 2” x 6” standard size bookmarks with 1970s colors and designs. Colorful bookmarks that are unique like these funky, hip, modern 70s style bookmarks are a great way to encourage reading, especially in your more creative students. Printing the bookmarks, cutting them, and folding them, if you choose to make them double-sided, are also great ways to practice fine motor skills. These bookmarks are truly unique and there are 20 different designs. These bookmarks can be printed and cut for one-sided or folded for double-sided versions. Printing them on cardstock will make them last longer. You can also decorate them further by punching a hole in the top and adding a matching ribbon or other ephemera. You can also laminate them for an even longer lasting product. Bookmarks make great gifts, especially for those who love to read and for those who are highly creative. These bookmarks can be used as a creative way to encourage student interaction and as part of a unique themed center for reading. You could also use the theme as a starting point for historical study of the unique styles of the 1970s. If you are teaching a unit on the history of this time period, these bookmarks will add interest to the study. You could also choose to use these in a study on the iconic art of the 70s. And because the colors are so vibrant, you can also use these to decorate your classroom bulletin board or door or other, involving the students in the process. Decorating a room is considered a family and consumer science activity and also interior design. Two double-sided bookmarks per page, total 10 pages of unique bookmarks, pdf, downloadable, printable file. #history #socialstudies #culture #1970s #colorfulclassroomdecor #readingstrategies #guidedreading

Chemistry Class Guidelines – Editable in PowerPoint & KeyNote A clear and customizable set of rules to start your chemistry class off right 🧪📋 Whether you're starting with a new class, taking over a course mid-year, or simply want to reset expectations, having a set of clear, student-friendly guidelines can make a big difference. This editable resource gives you the flexibility to present your classroom rules in a structured, visually consistent format – while still adapting the content to your own teaching style. The rules cover core areas of classroom life: from behavior during experiments to notebook organization and grading criteria. You can choose between 12 calming "boho" color themes or two clean black-and-white versions – depending on whether you want something simple, customizable, or a bit more colorful for student binders or digital notebooks. What’s included: Editable PowerPoint and KeyNote files Non-editable PDF for quick printing 12 color themes + 2 black-and-white layouts Sections included: – Materials for class – Homework – Absences – Notebook organization – Classroom behavior – Experiments – Grading How I use it in class: I introduce these rules at the beginning of the term and give students a printed copy or add them to their digital notebooks (e.g. GoodNotes or Notability). Some even choose their favorite color version and use it as a cover page in their binder. We go over each rule together and I invite students to ask questions or offer suggestions, which helps build a shared understanding of expectations. This isn’t a rigid rule sheet – it’s a flexible tool you can shape to fit your classroom. Whether you're teaching in a lab or more theory-based setting, it gives your students something they can refer back to all year long. Just open, adjust, and you’re ready to go. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Therapy Dog - Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭

Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭 There’s something special about the presence of a therapy dog in the classroom. Even the most restless students seem to relax. Some kids who rarely speak up suddenly open up. And for many, it’s the first time they’ve had a chance to experience the unconditional support that a dog offers. But what if we took that experience and turned it into a learning moment? That’s exactly what this reflection activity does. It helps students think about what kindness means, why responsibility matters, and how their actions affect others—whether those others have two legs or four. Why This Activity Feels Different ✔ It gets students thinking, not just answering. It’s not about memorizing facts. It’s about pausing for a moment and reflecting on simple but meaningful questions. ✔ It connects emotions with actions. Why do therapy dogs have rules? Why does kindness matter? These questions lead to unexpectedly deep discussions. ✔ It’s easy for any grade level. Younger kids can draw their answers, while older students might write or discuss. No one feels left out. ✔ It works with or without a therapy dog. Even if your school doesn’t have one, this still sparks conversations about empathy and responsibility. ✔ No prep required. Just print it out, hand it to students, and let them think. How I Use It in My Classroom 📌 First, we talk. I ask, “How do animals teach us about kindness?” or “What do therapy dogs need from us?” The answers are never what I expect—and that’s the best part. 📌 Then, students reflect. They complete a few simple but thoughtful prompts about their own behavior, their emotions, and what they’ve learned. 📌 Next, we share (if they want to). I never make sharing mandatory. But I’m always surprised by how many students want to. 📌 Finally, we put up the poster. It’s a small reminder that kindness and responsibility go beyond the classroom. 🐶 One more idea: If you have a therapy dog visit your class, have students read their reflections to the dog. You’d be amazed at how much more open and engaged they become! What Other Teachers Have Said ✔ “I used this before our first therapy dog visit, and it made a huge difference in how students behaved around the dog.” ✔ “It’s simple but powerful. The class discussions that came from this were amazing.” ✔ “Perfect for social-emotional learning, even without a therapy dog!” Why This Activity Sticks with Students At the end of the day, this isn’t just another worksheet. It’s a way to help students slow down, think about their actions, and reflect on what really matters—whether that’s how they interact with a therapy dog, a classmate, or the world around them. 📥 Give it a try—you might be surprised by what your students come up with. 🐶✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨
