The goal in setting up classroom decorations is to make the classroom an inviting and fun place for both students and visitors alike. Decorate your classroom based on the season or any upcoming holiday or occasion. Students will be very keen on helping you decorate the classroom. It is their classroom so be sure to use their suggestions.

Creating a stimulating learning environment with their input is sure to motivate them and build up their self-esteem.

Most students get a huge boost to their moral and self-esteem when something they have produced is displayed for other students and visitors to see. So, motivate them, by letting them know that their best work will be displayed on the wall of the classroom or set up a bulletin board for it.

You should always divide up your bulletin boards in the classroom to display different material in your curriculum — whether it’s your information or the students’ work on a specific topic. For example — students’ art, creative stories written by the students, science diagrams, pictures and information on a unit.

You can use different parts of the room to display posters (preferably ones with a motivational message), hang displays (such as the different planets) from the ceiling, or string displays in one area of the classroom (if permitted). All it takes is some imagination and you’ll find your students will want to participate in making their class one that everyone will want to visit.
