Classroom Decorations Help Create a Motivating, Learning Environment !!
I always wanted my classroom to be a fun and welcoming place for students, parents and other visitors. I had an open door policy for anyone to come in with the only exceptions being when the students were writing a test or when we listened to music during art class. I used various decorations throughout the year depending upon the season. Primary grades seemed to have a lot of classroom decorating ideas - more that the junior grades - perphaps a lot more were displayed because of the age of the students. But for me, my classroom decor really stood out during several months of the year because of the celebrations held during those months: * October (definitely) - Halloween It is important that students play a important part in decorating the classroom. When students feel ownership of their classroom, it motivates students and creates a positive learning environment. Encourage students to suggest their classroom decorating ideas based on their different cultural backgrounds. You can display pictures, posters, etc., originating from the different countries and cultures. My students loved putting up the decorations and we left them up all month. Always save the decorations for the following year.
