This was the first Friday I have taught where I wasn't pulling my hair out at the end of the day. Perhaps it is because I am beginning to figure the kids out and they are figuring me out too. Or perhaps it was the pink sweater I was wearing. Yes, you read right: my pink sweater.
You see, it is thought that the colors we choose to surround ourselves affect us more than we think. As a society, we associate colors with so many different things – they have meanings beyond simple visual stimulation. Some studies even suggest that we feel colors more than we see them.
Here is what researchers have found out about the color pink: upbeat, good health, calming, friendly, compassionate, faithful, femininity
So my pink sweater not only made me more upbeat today, but it also put a nice calm on my students. Looks like I need to stock up on more pink clothes!
