Superheroes.
The theme in the room allows the students to add to or take down as they see fit for their learning. The room becomes theirs and they change it through out the year. I teach 7 classes of grade 7 science and I find many of my quite students want to stay behind after class to talk to me about a connection they have made with something in the room. Sometimes students I even catch students quoting something they have read or seen in the room. The room changes through out the year but the theme gives us all a starting point to grow from.
So as the summer draws to an end I look forward to presenting my NEW Superhero classroom to the 250 new students that I will welcome to the school this year. My wish is that the positive messages throughout my room makes them smile, empowers them, challenges them or takes them to whatever adventure they choose to take. So, maybe the classroom theme and decorations are not for everyone but they work for my students!
Here's to a SUPER year!
