Looking to create a calming space for your students? Here is what I did to create my first classroom where my students felt at peace.
This post is all about my first classroom.
After spending some time researching the science of color psychology, I discovered which colors promoted learning, calmness, and helped reduce stress and anxiety in students, I decided on an “Under the Sea” theme for my classroom. I focused mainly on blues, purples, greens, and obviously had to have my yellow and orange for my submarine. I spent hours searching Pinterest saving any ideas I found to be useful to create the perfect classroom.
Throughout the summer, I made my vision come to life. I handmade most of my decorations, including the jellyfish pictured here, an octopus, and a submarine word wall. My goal was to create a calming environment, free of clutter, for my students to thrive. See More Pics Here
