Decorating the Decades

Help me give my students an inviting atmosphere to kick off the 2021-22 school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. White's classroom raised $320

My Students

My students in grade eleven are hard-working, multi-tasking-style learners. They balance academics, athletics, and social commitments with after school and weekend jobs. They range from high to low socioeconomic levels as well as a broad range of learning levels. Their ethnic backgrounds are diverse; foreign exchange students share the halls of our school.

My students are winners in the classroom, standouts on the field and court, and compassionate future leaders of our community.

They work together with faculty members to achieve greatness each and every day.

My Project

The materials in this project will be used to decorate the classroom according to history and theme. Moving from the Native Americans to the 1960s, American literature covers themes from origin myths, the Great Depression, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Roaring 20s to name a few.

“A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.” – Walt Whitman

Sadly, our classrooms are mostly internal, so we have no window(s) in our classroom. In order to make it as inviting as possible, I have added window decals to our decorations so that we can benefit from the effect. Dimming the lights with the light covers and using floor lamps that we already have will create a relaxing learning atmosphere for my students.
