Under the Sea Classroom!

My students need a vibrant engaging classroom to learn in! We're tired of boring old drab classrooms. Give us color, give us a theme we can immerse ourselves in! My students need brightly colored borders, construction paper and plenty of cutouts that draw the eye in. My students need to feel like they really want their work up on my colorful classroom walls and these supplies will do the trick!

I teach 7th grade in a highly diverse high-needs area. I teach students from all over the world - some of my students are English Language Learners and really need extra motivation.

Often times, students are bored in classrooms. They are used to sitting in dull classrooms that lack color. They don't feel motivated to do well and have their work displayed on the walls because the room is ugly. My classroom would be vibrant and engaging! Kids would be so excited for a chance to have their work hung on the walls!

I will need various supplies for this project that will increase the aesthetic value of my classroom. I will need construction paper to back excellent work on. I will need borders to frame exciting bulletin boards. I will need lots and lots of bulletin board kits to make the walls really come to life!

Please help my students want to actively learn in my room. With your help my students would have the most engaging colorful room to learn in - and that would make a big difference to them!
