Looking Back: Evolution of a Classroom

When I think back to how my classroom has evolved over the last ten years, so much has changed.  But, many things have remained the same.  From the very first moment I stepped into my classroom I knew one thing… I wanted my students to know that I was excited to have them there, learning together was going to be awesome, and it was our room.  I also have always wanted them to know that I value creativity.  I never set out to create everything from scratch, but every summer it became a fun game of hunting thrift stores, spray painting, re-purposing, creating digital art, and making the classroom space we would share together for the next year something special.   The best classrooms don’t have to be expensive, they just need to come from your heart. A place of learning, where everyone belongs, and where each kid is celebrated.   Truly, that’s not even about the decorations at all. But decorating a classroom?  It’s so much fun.
