Add fun decorations to school bulletin boards and desks

Adding teacher classroom decorations to a bulletin board makes it stand out more. Use letter and number cutouts, solid or patterned borders, and felt shapes to create a fun space that students can reference each day to see their current projects and progress. Change decorations with the seasons, using themed sets to represent holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, or different weather patterns. Use name tags and scalloped borders to add some fun to teacher and student desks at the start of the school year to make introductions simple.

Streamline organization with teacher classroom decorations

Organization is essential to keeping kids on task. Add colors and patterns to large weekly and monthly calendars to display the current schedule and due dates in a prominent place, whether on school bulletin boards or designated assignment spaces. Keep artwork and important papers in place with the help of magnets and clips, and add hooks to the wall to store book bags.

Classroom decorations add fun for preschoolers

If you teach at a preschool, you know that toddlers are attracted to colorful elements. Teach them letter and number recognition with magnetic letters, and keep lots of arts and crafts supplies on hand to keep little hands busy. Decorate each cubby with each child's favorite color or character, and create a welcome space just for them. Reward excellent behavior and milestones with an assortment of stickers -- add them to a chart or hand them out at the end of the day.
