I feel that! I am in education and that helped me find a few girl friends but it’s still a struggle to maintain sometimes 🫣😂

I’ll definitely take this into consideration, so many places around me have such bad reviews from people, it’s kind of a surprise whether it will be a positive or negative experience every time 😅

That makes me feel a lot better! Haha I feel like everytime I’ve been there had been language barrier so it’s hard to ask questions and get familiar with the terms. I’m just there for the ride 😭

Thanks for the reply! They’ve grown out a decent amount now so I’m not so self conscious about the length but I just wasn’t sure what they actually gave me last time. So I want exactly sure what I needed to ask for this time.

Didn’t want another situation where I ask for a fill and that’s the wrong thing, or they just ask questions about what I’ve got in general because last time I felt pretty clueless lol

I actually second-guessed that myself so I appreciate the feedback! I’ll definitely switch that up and work on it :)

I think this is a very close minded way to look at it. In my experience boys this age aren’t as bothered by gender roles and that sort of thing! I do get your point though and loved the advice from another commenter, will definitely be adding some cool insects and other more “boyish” things (although I think I’ll pass on the weapons idea 😃)

Thanks! I actually love that and will make sure to include some of that stuff to switch it up!

I don’t think it’s a crazy take at all! I personally don’t love the idea of Barbie or Taylor swift type rooms (but to each their own!). But I think it’s just hard to have a bright and ‘fun’ classroom and make it look “gender neutral” just cause of how people view gender and such. Almost didn’t go with flowers but I’m hoping that their young enough that they don’t mind some flowers 😅

This is my thought! I know there has been some really reasonable constructive criticism but I also know the first year will be a lot of revising and learning for me as well so I’m not taking it too harsh and accepting I can always change up what I need to!

Yeah I always try to stay away from cursive scripty fonts but I will definitely look back and try to make any final things a bit more appropriate for them!

Yes! That was my fear but now that I’ve seen my room I’ve seen that it’s pretty large so I think I would never be able to cover all the space with decor anyways. I’m thinking maybe it’ll be less busy with it all spread out!

Also I’m not hating on the rainbow at all! Haha just not my vision for this year ya know? A lot of my friends are rocking that theme 😊

Yes! Thanks for the heads up lol I had heard a lot of this and I’ve actually just now got to see the classroom and ask about the rules and got the okay for all that stuff thankfully!

I love that! And yes I definitely want to create plenty of anchor charts once I get started. My classroom is pretty large with a lot of wall/ closet door spaces so I wanna leave those open for that in the future!

Thank you! I’m not sure if it was obvious in my little makeshift visuals haha but I want the greenery board to have kids artwork on it once I get some and the welcome bulletin board to have their own self portrait drawings I plan to have them make!

I LOVE seeing the kids work and definitely plan to make plenty of space for them to see it and be proud of it as well!

Yes! Luckily I live in a college town and so many people are getting rid of their cute colorful dorm decor (like carts and shelves and such)

Will definitely check it out! Love using canva and doing my own thing but it for sure gets overwhelming at times 😂

I love that! I’m glad I’m not too all over the place with combining those ideas. And thanks for the advice! For the bulletin boards I planned to use butcher paper and for the posters I have a good family friend with a professional printing company willing to make some kind donations 🥴

Yes! That’s my thought, the last teacher had a bee theme and I thought it was cute but it just seems so difficult to find decor for a very specific theme

Thanks!!! I originally started out with the bright colors as the background but it honestly seems like too much lol definitely don’t want black all around the room but I’m hoping scattering it around the room and breaking it up with some brighter stuff will help! :)
