Of course, the decoration of the classroom is not the MOST important thing. But we want to walk into the classroom knowing that we’ve taken the time to prepare our students for when they arrive. We want students to know they are entering a positive space where they can build trust, build relationships, and learn content. A positive classroom environment helps students experience this. So how do we build it?

You want your walls and classrooms to be uncluttered. The cleaner your decorating style is, the more room you’ll have for other accessories in your classroom.

Your students will thrive in a clean, organized and attractive space. You still love the pictures and ornaments your students gave you two years ago, but it may be time to retire them. Throw away the old furniture that is no longer useful in your room. Find a place to stack boxes in the corner. Functional decorations like bubble shelves and fabric storage cubes are great for hiding books, supplies, and extra materials.

How to hide boxes/stacks of books: I was a classroom teacher at school and always had extra classroom textbooks in my room. My class was tiny! I hid all the boxes under the computer desk and hung a cloth to act as a “tablecloth” to hide the mess. It was a great way to de-clutter the classroom!

There will be all kinds of students in your classroom, including those who are easily distracted or overwhelmed by an overly stimulating class. You can create a colorful and fun space while keeping it simple. Avoid busy styles, hard-to-read fonts, and clashing colors. And you don’t need decorations and posters on every inch of your room. Leaving empty wall space in the room is a good idea and will benefit your students.

Think about how you work best. For me, I need a quiet environment for lesson planning or assessment. Your students may thrive in a quiet classroom environment, too! Add soothing lights to your classroom that you can turn on when the lights are off. This ‘enlightened’ atmosphere helps students focus during independent activities. Create a cozy and relaxing space with throw pillows and cozy rugs for students, and add accents throughout the room.

You can put artificial trees in the corner of your room to give it that “outdoor” feel.

This is one thing I didn’t realize when I started teaching. I asked my students to hang up posters and diagrams related to the content. Later, when I was alone, I realized how much my students needed me

The purpose of anchor charts is to support students in their current learning. By showing them on the first day of class, I lost their value. Anchor graphics blend in with our other decorations. It’s okay to start the school year with a blank slate.

1) They are easy to prepare at home. To make this easier, I recommend getting a personal laminator. This is my favorite.

2) With your purchase, you are supporting other teachers like you! (You also earn credits with your TPT purchases that you can use toward future purchases.)

3) You’ll find unique pieces you can’t find in stores. Most classroom design packages include over 1,000 pages of materials!

Amazon has it all. If you’re looking for borders and paper for this year’s bulletin board, check out Amazon! The prices are very good and there are various resources.

Astrobright paper is great because it’s an easy way to add color to your screen without spending a lot of money. Use it to frame student paper or create bold letters, among other things. You can save on color ink by printing with black ink on colored paper!

Organizing the best classrooms. Consider getting a trash can to keep your library and supplies organized. You can get colorful trash cans or baskets that match the theme of your classroom. Print colorful labels to help students know where the supplies are. Trash cans are a great way to hide clutter and give your classroom a cohesive look.

Word Wall is an excellent reference tool for students to use in their writing. They help students with spelling, sight word practice, and vocabulary study. Add one to your wall to encourage students and celebrate the many words your students will learn this year. This is a great tool for building vocabulary when students are writing independently. Sound walls are great for elementary students.

It is important to have a teacher’s corner in the classroom to keep important documents and personal memories. Create a dedicated space for your study materials, papers, and details that will make your classroom your home away from home.

Even a small classroom library is a space where your students can interact with meaningful books and practice independent reading. Add some bean bags to your reading area to create a little reading station for students.

Label bins for copies, materials and blank paper keep your desktop organized and organized. They also help you know which documents need to be graded, copied, or returned to students at the end of the day.
