Gotta give a shout-out to my girl, Ms. Garrison, for really steppin' it up today and helping me in my classroom. Some of that Barton 3rd grade teamwork right there! It's looking pretty good, with the exception of poor color choice for butcher paper. Kind of looks like an Easter egg basket threw up on the walls (pictures to come).
All this interior design-type stuff has got me thinking about how kids feel in a new space. I was fine with my colors until I realized that boys have to live in my classroom too. I can't go fluffy and frilly and expect the boys to feel ultra comfortable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one for pastels, but my attempt at "cool" colors, turquoise, teal, and purple--as opposed to "warm" colors, like red, yellow, and orange--turned south. The paper seriously did not look that bad in the store. Maybe they won't notice.
Word to the wise: Stick to primary and secondary colors. Tertiary and beyond--you're asking for trouble.
