Glimmers, which are the opposite of triggers are those moments of pure joy and serenity that light up their lives. I use the materials to share and practice glimmers with my students & after just 3 days back the kids have already started using the term "glimmer" when something brings them joy!

The word Glimmers originates from Deb Dana, LCSW, psychotherapist, and author who coined the term. Glimmers which is the opposite of a trigger are those fleeting instances that bring us warmth and peace, offering a profound positive impact on our mental health.

• I feel a glimmer when....

• track your glimmers

• Things I see, taste and hear that bring me glimmers

Bulletin Board: Colorful lettering (multiple styles) to make a bulletin board for your classroom or your school. Cards are included for students (& staff) to share the things that bring them glimmers

2 pages of "me and my Glimmer". Take a picture of your students happy with their glimmers & attach to the page. A great reminder of the things that bring us joy.

8x11 Posters: Sprinkle your class or school with five 8x11 posters. Whether it's in your classroom, hallway, or on your door, these posters serve as tangible reminders to celebrate life's Glimmers.

These fun and engaging posters aim to foster independence and autonomy in the French Immersion classroom for your young K-2 students. Posters are used as visual cues and reminders of morning routines helping students to do things on their own. Ideal for the Kindergarten to Grade 2 classroom.

I use these posters in my cubby area as a visual checklist for students each day as they arrive. I also post visual cues for work time with the order of operations for each task. 1. write your name, 2. colour, 3. cut, 4. glue, and 5. raise your hand. The order is for you to choose.

When my students are brand new to cutting and pasting into scrapbooks they: write their name, cut, raise their hand (so I can check before they glue), glue, and then colour. It’s entirely up to you!

Posters include:

Each poster great graphics so students can easily associate the picture with the action. Clear step by step instructions. Regular sized poster so you can copy and go, or larger sized numbers and cards for placing into pocket charts.

Slogans included:

Je mange: 1. sac à diner, 2. reste assis, 3. range mon sac, 4. jette les déchets, et 5. nettoie

Je travaille: 1. écris ton nom, 2. découpe, 3. colle, 4. lève la main, et 5. colorie

Le matin: 1. sac à diner, 2. cahier de communication, 3. bouteille d’eau, 4. souliers, et 5. faire le travail matinale

Appropriate audience:

I use these posters in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from K-6 and for those students with IEP or special needs learning in a French environment.

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from Kindergarten to Grade Three will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
