I don’t know about you, but the start of a new year and unpacking a classroom, all your goodies, laying things out in a new way. It just gets me really excited. I love organizing and setting things up (hence the title of my blog) and so this time of year is always really fun for me.
I know it can also be really overwhelming, especially for teachers who have a ton of stuff and may not have organized well before the end of the year. Which is why today I want I am going to share about how to unpack a classroom. And hang on tight, because it may not be what you are thinking.
The podcast episode will share way more deets for all of these steps!
1.Start fresh by emptying out your room and giving it a good clean
2. Layout the Furniture in your Classrom
3. Set Up Remaining Areas (like library, stations, etc)
4. Unpack boxes in an organized way. Start with one box and stick to it. Put things into their homes in the cabinets.
5. Decorate!
Classroom Makeover
Perhaps your classroom is already set up. You are one of the lucky ones that gets to leave your room set up over the summer and spend your time at the beginning of the year planning and creating fun projects for your classroom! Or maybe you get to leave your classroom set up, but you are ready for a classroom makeover.
Sometimes a makeover or a face lift is a nice way to spruce up the room. After 5 years I finally decided to change things a bit in my room. I had been staring at that decoration for the last 5 years…and I was ready for something new! And maybe you are, too!
I have a packet of pages that can walk you through developing a plan for a classroom makeover that is yours for free when you sign up for my email list!
I’d love for you to have a listen HERE. And I would especially love it if you shared it with your other teacher friends!!!
