Bright and Cheery in 4th Grade
Creating a caring, child-centered environment takes a lot of planning. Basic bulletin boards are not enough. I believe in a very colorful classroom with posters, functional bulletin boards, and other ‘interesting’ items to enhance the environment. I consider the physical environment to be “another teacher” – in the sense that it can motivate children, enhance learning, and reduce behavior problems.
