My Project

Welcoming students into a classroom that is briefly transformed with decorations amplifies their excitement for learning. By securing these resources, our classroom will be transformed multiple times throughout the year based upon what students are currently studying. Whether it be a winter wonderland with hot chocolate, a focus on the planets and stars, digging deeper into a math concept such as volume, or bringing to life ecosystems, or sending them off for their last year of elementary school, these decorations are sure to appeal to all students. Students' faces light up when they spot something new in the classroom. It gets them excited and also gets them talking with their peers. Help me give my students room transformation decorations for a variety of lessons in reading, math, science, and social studies and a TpT gift card for room transformation printables.
