It has worked WONDERFULLY in our classrooms and we
have heard nothing but positive feedback from parents and guardians.

No real theme - just bright colors & kids clip art.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a particular theme or color scheme, but art and nature are the things I tend to put up on the walls as I think they are so important for all of us. I also think they have a very calming influence,
ReplyDeletekganon@sanjuan.edu
Agreed! Thanks for sharing :)
DeleteI would have a theme for sure (and most likely change it throughout the year!)
DeletePs- love the compliment cupcake! <3
Thanks, Cathi :)

I did owl's in my classroom one year. I made the classroom look like an old pioneer house. I had a huge tree on the wall and purchased these owl mailboxes that hung on the branches and used them for the student job chart. Thanks for your comment Fern. :)

Thank you, Ivett. It has been fun to work on.
DeleteThinking about using a superheroes theme.
ReplyDeleteMy classroom is painted in lime green which has a calming and soothing effect on my students.

Hi Roxanne, Thank you for your comment. Have you seen on pintrest the superhero suckers? I did them for Valentine's day one year. You print off a cape and personalize a message and they fit onto suckers and you glue on the superhero mask. They turned out amazing. Thanks for the comment. :)
DeleteThank you and you're welcome. Off to pinterest!!!
DeleteThinking about using owls and bright colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Markisha. I have seen some really cute crafts for owls, with sunflower seeds glued on for the body. I like to use a craft the students have made as a boarder on one of the bulletin boards in the classroom. Makes it feel like they are part of the room. :)
DeleteBlack and white and splashes of yellow throughout the room...love to use daisies. Last year I used bees...but I had a kiddo who was absolutely terrified of them. I think daisies might be a better option. Ha!
ReplyDeleteHi Shana, Thank you for your comment. Funny and Sad about the Bees. I love using nature in the classroom and love the look of bees. Didn't even cross my mind about the fear factor for some. You should be safe with daisies. :)
DeleteNo real theme just lots of primary colors
