Create some space for reflection and positive self talk with our affirmation station. Retro classroom decor is simply happiness on paper (or lightweight card if you don’t like laminating everything).

USING VISUALS EFFECTIVELY

Visuals are important in class regardless of age. I’m not one to put up unnecessary displays. Wall space in classrooms can be limited so be discerning about what you display.

What will support the learners in this space? Can they be viewed easily by everyone in class?

A simple check is to sit in some of your student’s spots so you can see what they do.

The front of any classroom is prime real estate so reserve that for your most important displays. Keeping key displays at eye height can help students engage with the material without straining their necks or needing assistance. This accessibility promotes independent learning and encourages exploration.

One must-have for front of class is a visual timetable for me. I made one for my very first classroom and haven’t been without one since because it was such an important tool.

For younger grades, I use a visual schedule with visuals to help those learning to read but with older grades, text only options are still helpful to display and help build independence amongst your students.

Younger grade levels can also benefit from having alphabet and number posters on display. Using meaningful displays can help reinforce taught concepts, just pick the one that best fits your classroom needs.

Again, keeping key visuals at eye height in early years classrooms promotes accessibility, engagement, and optimal learning experiences for young children. They are more likely to retain information when it is presented in a visually appealing and easily accessible manner. By positioning important visuals at eye height, educators increase the likelihood that students will interact with and remember the content.

With varied curriculums to satisfy, you can find a handful of different alphabet and number displays to choose from along with an expanded math display pack so you can be sure you have everything you need to set up a dedicated math wall in your retro themed classroom.

Or a include a large wall calendar, the days of the week in a focus wall along with other key learning focuses.
