Help bring some calm to your classroom with this lush TROPICAL COAST classroom decor!
There's just something so calming about adding green to a classroom. The first time I used this tropical decor in class, I was amazed at how tranquil and soothing the space felt.
With several children with special needs in our group this term, it was just what was needed. A perfect backdrop that helped alleviate some of the 'noise' some Early Years classrooms are prone to.
I used a mix of tropical themed labels and signs around the classroom to help define the different spaces.
Solid greens as tray labels for each child then a different design for our literacy centre tubs.
Each child has their own desk space to work at but as we're starting to trial elements of flexible learning in class, there are other zones they can choose to use as well.
Being a mix of Reception and First Grade, I've used the desk plates with the alphabet and number line for each child. The smaller name only desk plates we're using as locker labels.
The same colours and tropical designs have been used for our all of our displays and classroom signs.
Not liking everything looking the same, I've included a few different tropical designs that work to compliment each other.
We'll add new words to this display as the term progresses.
All our required classroom posters - alphabet + numbers to 20 are tropical themed as well.
I often use smaller versions of these posters to create backdrops to our learning invitations as you can see with this number sorting task in our math centre.
All my folders for assessments, groups and data collection have also been given a tropical makeover.
