To reinforce lessons about various types of habitats, decorate the classroom with images of caves, oceans and ponds. You can decorate your classroom to look like these places, complete with pictures of plant and animal life. Showing students what various habitats look like will help visual learners understand the concept better. Students can help decorate with art projects that create representations of animals and plants for the habitat.
Decorate your classroom to help teach students about different cultures. This can include trimming bulletin boards and other areas of the room with decorations for holidays celebrated around the world. For example, cover you classroom with New Year's dragons and colorful paper lanterns during Chinese New Year. Ask students to contribute to the decorations through craft projects or by bringing items from home.
Decorate your classroom to correspond with subjects that you are teaching. For example, when teaching about hibernation, use bulletin boards to display pictures of animals that hibernate. When sharing in an "about me" theme, decorate a wall or bulletin board with photos of the featured student and things that relate to his interests.
Use your classroom space to create a homey, inviting atmosphere. This is especially important with younger children. Use bright colors and posters to stimulate children. Add a reading area with comfortable pillows. Decorating walls and bulletin boards can add color to your classroom and make it less dreary.
