My second year teaching I switched to black paper on all of my walls and added different colored bright bulletin boarders! My classroom looked so much brighter and I felt like it was more cohesive! I love black butcher paper!!!!

I LOVE IT! I have been spending hours and hours drooling over your ideas for the past couple of weeks. I love the 3D idea too. As far as displaying your students' work, how do you have space for all 30 of your students on a b-board? Do you choose the best for display? Again, thank you. I'm having so much fun following your blog. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-15962949684141161352012-04-28T15:10:20.671-07:002012-04-28T15:10:20.671-07:00I LOVE black bulletin board paper!

I am so impressed with the variety of ways you are able to connect it with other content (specifically ELA since those are the two subjects I teach). I would LOVE to hear more about your projects in other periods (explorers, etc.) Your room looks SO FUN! <br /><br />P.S. Do YOU staple the paper behind each student sheet for each thing you display?

Then she saw how much the work "pops" and changed her mind.

It is very important to have some blank space, especially if you want the students to focus on you. As an occupational therapist, most of my students would be too busy looking at everything in order to pay attention to anything else. I worked with a teacher who had alphabets at each seat, on several posters on each wall and on the carpet. There was also a lot of "stuff" hanging from the ceiling. The teacher said that it was her belief was "more is better." In her case, I would definitely say, "More is only more--not better." My student in her room was a very bright boy, but he wasn't making academic progress. He told me, "I just can't stop looking!" We had to move him to a less cluttered classroom, where he became more successful.Dr. Kratz, OTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-12365925391204460362012-02-11T08:59:36.775-08:002012-02-11T08:59:36.775-08:00It is always refreshing to see a teacher think out...It is always refreshing to see a teacher think outside the box, demonstrating creativity/imagination. Changing out displays regularly peaks children's interests, which leads to a better learning environment. My favorite display was made by suspending an inflatable orca whale from the ceiling, and adding crepe paper, streamers, and animal cut outs to give the "look" of being under the sea. Fabulous displays can be made without spending a fortune.

I love that 3-dimensional look to them! I just switched to black fabric this year and I will switch to a different color. Every sign and student project displayed just stands out so nicely and I don't have to back everything on construction paper. I used ribbon for the borders this year too and they look really vibrant (it's just turquoise ribbon). <br /><br />Thanks for sharing Steph, I love looking at your classroom photos!<br />KristenKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502794638519071800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-26596103823282576782012-02-11T05:16:45.114-08:002012-02-11T05:16:45.114-08:00Whoa you are super creative! :) Thanks for sharing...Whoa you are super creative! :) Thanks for sharing your tips!
