Each post highlights an aspect of my room amongst photos, a detailed explanation of it's purpose, as well as frequently times videos. Be certain to banking concern gibe out all the other posts.

When I started to plan my classroom design for the upcoming twelvemonth I flipped as well as flopped betwixt doing a classroom theme vs sticking to a color scheme. I've done both inwards the by as well as loved each room for unlike reasons. Over the years my classroom has featured a beach theme, camping theme, western theme, Hollywood theme, detective theme, as well as a jungle theme.

Then I switched to a "color scheme" final year and was quite happy amongst it.

Because I similar alter as well as I beloved to ready classrooms, I couldn't resist mixing things up.

I loved how the dark accents looked amongst the bright colors inwards my room as well as ultimately decided to acquire amongst a bright as well as cheerful scheme. This was perfect because my finish this twelvemonth is to actually divulge ways to foster inventiveness as well as inspire kids to desire to larn instead of precisely expecting them to practise so.

With the national force for data-driven instruction, it is of import to pose inwards extra efforts to brand certain that opportunities for inventiveness as well as open-ended, project-based learning exist.

To assistance amongst my goal, I've designated a board inwards my classroom specifically for displaying all of those gorgeous, colorful creations that kids blueprint when given to a greater extent than or less structure paper, paints, glue, as well as scissors. The locomote volition endure changed out regularly, but the hot pinkish background as well as the championship inwards the view volition stay the same throughout the year.

It states simply, "Create." It volition endure a constant reminder of the importance of establishing an surround that values learning "outside the box."

Plus, the darn matter makes me grinning everytime I facial expression at it's Crayola-goodness!

It was super fun to brand too.
