Decorations for Inspiration

Help me give my students a welcoming and encouraging environment through new classroom decorations.

My Project

The students will have new posters with encouraging quotes on them. The new carpet will be a gathering spot for our book read-alouds and morning meetings. The sticker labels and name tags will show the students where they can find their seat and the supplies they will need for activities.

Birthday Charts will display the student's special day!

The border will help to highlight the student's work that is being displayed on the classroom walls. My students are a small class of super hard-working children. They all have their own unique personalities. Again, please help my students feel encouraged and welcomed in a new classroom makeover.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
