Yesterday I was considering re-vamping my classroom's look to make it more collegiate and mature looking. You know, less Mickey-Mouse, overpowering colorful posters everywhere, more somber tones and hues conveying deep thoughts to aid in students' self-actualization.
I solicited the advice of a student who was helping me grade. I asked him, "Is this classroom too childish looking? Does it remind you of kindergarden?" And he said, "You shouldn't change it. Some of your students actually need that. I didn't know half the words you taught us last year."
That made me so, so happy. So bright colors and youthful energy it has been and will be.
