A Beautiful Classroom Makes A Better Learning Environment

Help me give my students a beautifully decorated classroom! Students learn better in a homey classroom!

My Project

Our classroom is quite boring. We need some color and decorations to make it look more appealing. Students learn better in a colorful environment! Each item has been carefully chosen to match the theme "When We Learn We Grow." The walls are painted a light yellow which is not the best color. These decorations can distract students from the unappealing wall color and create a beautiful scenery instead. The decorations will also be used for the class calm corner. Plants help to create a calming environment and these decorations can help students reach that Zen feeling they often need when they take a break.

The theme "When We Learn We Grow" creates a great classroom cohesiveness!

Our students would love to enter a room that makes them feel good about learning together.
