Creative Crafty Creatures in the Middle School Music Classroom

Designing & Decorating our classrooms

  

Good Morning!!!! Hope everyone had an amazing September, because it's October 1st, can you believe it?? Now that school is in full swing, everything is hustle, hustle, rehearsal, concert, performance, music video, Pep rally, assemblies, AHHHHH!!!! I have a great vibe so far about this school year, which has been considerably successful so far, so I'm hoping it stays that way. I've also been making it a point to keep up on Classroom decorating, which there's never time for. I'm finding it way more difficult to come up with ideas that fit the middle school classroom than the elementary classroom, without being too cutsie or corny for 7th & 8th grade, but I love a good challenge. 

The most important aspect of Decorating a classroom is organization, so I've decided to dedicate a box/bin to each holiday & only fill it with items I absolutely love & every year, edit the box by taking away & adding, or just adding something new, which could be store-bought, homemade, or made by students, while keeping things simple. 

Right now, the only substantial boxes I've put together are Halloween & Christmas. So, this year, if time permits I may add a Valentine & Easter Box. I don't want to have every Holiday because you'd go completely crazy taking things down and putting things up, runnin' around like a turkey without a head. Speaking of turkeys, I don't have any Thanksgiving decor, but I'll group Halloween & Thanksgiving into "Fall" I guess, tehe!! Well, here's my attempt to fit in some "Fall"/Halloween Decorating!! What ideas have you thought of for Holiday Classroom decorating or Classroom design?

 The last two pictures aren't really Holiday design, I kinda just stuck em' in there!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
