The Caffeinated Classroom

Classroom decor is something I’ve seen in my feed lately in a pretty negative light - there seems to be a growing faction of teachers who believe that focusing on decor and classroom setup deters from curriculum and rigor… and unsurprisingly, many of those voices come from the secondary world.

Well, I say POO POO to that! Decorating and making a classroom feel comfortable is absolutely important and ENHANCES CURRICULUM! Especially when it is done mindfully and with purpose!

While I wait to get back into by classroom to get things ready for the upcoming year (construction will *hopefully* be done right before school starts), I’ve been looking back through some of my classroom setup videos from the past few years.

This one documents the process I went through planning some of the decor and bulletin boards in my classroom a couple years ago - link in bio to watch.

What sorts of purposeful decor do you have in your classroom?
