My Project

I recently moved from second to sixth grade and want to decorate our very plain classroom walls with some color and beauty. We will use the decorated boards for powerful affirmation messages and a vocabulary wall. The runner rug, pillows, and end table will be put in an area for a classroom library where they can feel cozy reading and working on writing assignments.

I want to make our classroom feel welcoming and appealing which will aid in the students being engaged in their learning as they begin to do more independent work and can choose their areas in the classroom to work!

Grades 6-8
