My Project

Our classroom is quite boring, now more than ever kiddos need to be excited to be in school! It can be very scary and different this school year, especially for our little ones. A bright and inviting classroom is so important! We need some color and decorations to make it look more appealing.

Students learn better in a colorful environment!

When entering each morning students need to feel excited and motivated! The walls are painted a light yellow which is not the best color. These decorations can distract students from the unappealing wall color and create beautiful scenery instead. Having bright, colorful, and new bulletin board paper and borders are important in a classroom! Students are working hard all day in this classroom and it needs to be bright and cheerful! Colorful walls and bulletin boards that show their creativity is exciting for them! Our students would love to enter a room that makes them feel good about learning together.
