I hope you have had a beautiful day. My day was lovely and full of music making. I've been working hard re-designing my classroom because when I came back in January, I realized I was totally over my nautical themed classroom. I get stressed out in the third nine weeks because we have a lot of music events that happen all at one in my county. So to counteract my stress, I decided to re-design my room theme to kick my post-Christmas blues to the curb. For a reference point, this is what my classroom looked like last January:
I love the hand drawn chalk thing that has been going on in classrooms the last few years, and I also ADORE cute little woodland creatures and the idea of going on an adventure in music class, so I went with a camping theme. Also, I added in touches of chalkboard hand drawing for good measure because it makes me happy. Things I found on Pinterest inspired me, like schoolgirl styles camping classroom and I took those ideas and inspirational images and tried to make it my own. Feel free to check out my Pinterest board for my camping themed classroom to see other images that inspired me. My room isn't complete, but I'm overall very happy with the direction it is moving in. I hope you (possibly non-existent reader) enjoy the photos below. If you notice from the pictures below, there is a lot less on the walls as well as items physically in view in my room. I've been purposely trying to focus and pair down what I need in my room. I'm embracing minimalism both at home and at work. The students enjoy it too a few students mentioned they feel like they can focus better and said some other classrooms are too stimulating for them. I'm hoping to provide a space that makes them happy and comfortable as well as ready to participate, learn, and create together.
I will be posting my growth mindset Fox bulletin board in my TPT store soon, as well as my rules and other items I'm creating or have created for my new classroom design. Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely day, and your kids were well behaved. :)
