My Project

My school recently was renovated and I now have a beautiful classroom that needs more decor. I need help making my classroom more eye-appealing for my students. I found some really cute decor that fits my farmhouse style that I already have in place in my classroom.

The decor is self-motivating and inspirational.

I try to instill these ideas into my students. Ideas like they make my classroom better, that they are the future of the world, that they don't have "it" yet, etc. Having signs and decor to reinforce this will not only help my classroom look appealing but also hopefully make my students believe in those words and themselves.
