Like most teachers, I love to add brightness and motivation to my classroom, but I am on a budget! I can’t go out and buy all new things to liven the place up. When I was was going to college, I had a teacher that told me it was important to put “good” things on the walls of my classroom for those students who might be zoning out. While I would prefer to think that my students will be completely engaged in every thing I say, but I know the reality is that students sometimes drift. With that said, I have tried to make sure that my walls are full of fun things that motivate my students.
I created some classroom mini-poster sets and a set of mini-posters for my classroom library area. I printed mine and mounted them on black construction paper. Then I laminated them and hung them up. Another great option (if you have a larger budget than I do) is to frame these mini-posters and hang them up on your walls. If you are interested, you can find my posters here:
