Classroom Curtains

Help me give my students an aesthetically pleasing classroom that a fourth grader would feel welcomed in.

My Project

Help me cover the institutional drab blinds in my classroom.

Let’s create an aesthetically pleasing, warm and inviting fourth grade classroom.

I want to cover the drab and old blinds in my classroom. One wall has 20 windows so I need to use the space to be more inviting for youngsters.

The paint is peeling. The colors are drab and we can only control so many things in our four walls. Students spend a significant amount of time in my room…three periods a day. Covering the blinds will make our learning space more inviting and appropriate for fourth graders!
