Some Greenery for a Different Scenery

Help me give my students a different scenery within our classroom. The decorations will help create a better learning environment for students coming into the space every day.

My Project

On average, students spend at least 7 hours a day in school. For the one hour that they spend inside my classroom, I want to foster an environment that allows their creativity to flow, builds an appreciation for the space they share, and invites a different scenery into the space.

With the borders, wallpaper, and lights, I plan to transform the classroom into a space where students can comfortably learn and see the outside world within the classroom.

From blank walls to a decorated room, I believe students will feel more engaged and at home.
