Do you have a classroom theme? I love a good theme, whether it be a party, a shower, or a room.
One thing you can do with a theme is to pick up some blank canvases, some paint and brushes and create themed-paintings that will turn your room into a warm and inviting atmosphere to welcome your students!
Obviously, my classroom is Monster-Themed. How FUN are these? My husband and I had a little craft night one night and whipped these up for my classroom! The best thing about monsters is that they don't have to be perfect! ;)
What better way to end the summer than having some friends or family over for a craft night. Fun and productivity at its best!
In my classroom, I placed these cuties on the windowsills that stretch across two walls of my room. But, you could also use command hooks to hang them on walls to create a gallery space or to enhance a classroom library.
It's the little touches that really make a room a space that students love. The best compliment ever is when students ask their parents at Meet the Teacher if they can decorate their bedrooms like our classroom! That's when you know you've achieved your goal!
If you were to paint canvases for your classroom what would you paint??
Don't forget to post pics of your classroom crafts on Instagram for the #Create2Educate Contest (August 1-15)!
