Many painted only accent walls, but that was not enough for me.I used colorful objects as the inspiration in my classroom. I love it but many say they could not handle so much color. Each of the four walls is a different color. One is pink, one is neon green, one is turquoise, and one is purple. My trim is yellow. My air duct is orange. My daughter took several tiles down from the ceiling and painted pictures on them. They are gorgeous. She also painted flowers on the walls and a saying from Dr. Seuss on my air duct. The students love it! I too place many things around my room that are colorful! However, I am not nearly as organized as you. Our classrooms are small. We are a small K-12 school with about 650 students total. It is a great school in Sweet Water, Alabama. I teach 4th grade. I am pinning many of your shots for inspiration next year. Thanks for sharing! I love your room and your great ideas!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119566304190199168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-80212963099752375182014-10-28T19:57:31.136-05:002014-10-28T19:57:31.136-05:00Hi Meryem, I got the organizer many years ago (17 ...Hi Meryem, I got the organizer many years ago (17 years to be exact) at Office Depot or Office Max.

I currently use tray baskets for this that sit side-by-side on one of my shelves. I love your idea to use the stackable bins b/c that takes up much less room that would allow better use of the valuable shelf space!

I just got creative with it. I have added a few things here and there throughout the years, so it wasn't one big hit of money at one time. Once I had it set, I can reuse the same decor. I don't hang things on tables, only because my students move their seats all during the day. Very rarely are they sitting in the same spot. Student work is great decor for any room.Alison Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353164628345963175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-87100914530595230832013-10-09T10:36:52.908-05:002013-10-09T10:36:52.908-05:00That room is absolutely fantastic!

Right now I am in the process of ordering some <a href="http://www.schooloutlet.com/" rel="nofollow">school furniture</a> for the classroom and was wondering if anyone here had some ideas on how to spruce it up. I was thinking maybe have the kids decorate the front of their desks with streamers and name tags but I'm not completely sold on that idea. Anyone have any suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450774443008411298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-53856682768814613482013-08-11T22:10:49.237-05:002013-08-11T22:10:49.237-05:00Thank you, Heather!

My kids have a home base table, but they don't stay at that table all day. We are constantly all around the room. If I have a specific assignment that I am managing, I may have them quickly highlight their paper and I can glance at the papers and colors to see who hasn't turned something in. They do have to highlight their name on every single assignment, solely for the purpose of checking to make sure they have written their names on their papers. I don't care which color they use on these assignments.
