3 Reasons You Need Frames in Your Classroom

Frames in Your Classroom

School is in session, classrooms are full, and teachers are busy. Classrooms are where children spend 8 hours of their day. Classrooms should be creative, organized, stimulating, and a resource for learning. Frames can help a teacher set up a classroom with a creative flair that can help assist their students’ success. Here are three reasons you need frames in your classroom.

 

Instructions

Framing important rules for you classroom can help students remember and abide by instructions. Frames are focal points for any room, and eyes are naturally drawn to them. Highlighting code of conduct and classroom etiquette rules is a great way to make sure your students notice and remember the rules.

This can also be helpful when a student does break the rules. You can remind them to look at the frames. That reminder will be a cue to look at the frames before they choose to break the rules in the future.

 

Inspiration

Another great way to improve classroom creativity is by framing inspirational quotes. Frame quotes that are related to education and creativity to inspire your students. Having them framed highlights the importance of thinking critically and creatively, which can motivate your students to new levels of success.

You can also have the students pick out quotes that they like, or that motivate them. Create a list of inspirational quotes and ask your students which ones they find the most helpful.

Students can also be motivated to put in effort to get their artwork displayed in a frame. Consider doing “student work of the week” and framing their art or project in your classroom each week.

 

Decoration

Frames will tie all the aspects of your room together. Loose posters and messy photos on the wall can make a classroom feel hectic and disorganized. Organization is important for effective teaching, and it is easier for students to concentrate in an organized atmosphere! Frame the decorations on the wall to make the room feel put together.

 

With frames in the classroom, you will be able to have a more organized and efficient classroom experience. Your students will be comfortable in the classroom environment and will be inspired to create every time they look at the frames on the walls.

Chic Ways to Camouflage Clutter

When homes are featured in magazines or on television, we typically see spotless, clutter-free spaces. In the real world, clutter seems like an unavoidable reality. However, it doesn’t have to put a damper on your home’s style. With a few easy tricks, you can whisk away clutter while still having the items you need most close at hand. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

 

Hide it in plain sight

Some items are simply too lovely to tuck away in a cupboard. Open storage is a great option for objects you want to keep safe, but still show off. Showcase your favorite set of china on an open shelf or cabinet with glass doors. Use a plate stand to prop up a dish with an especially beautiful design. For delicate keepsakes, consider having them framed to showcase them and keep them protected.

 

Create atmosphere

Sometimes it’s necessary to store some extra items nearby. In the bathroom, roll up spare towels and place them in a basket. This treatment gives the room a spa-like feel while also making sure a fresh towel is always handy. Store toiletry items, such as cotton balls, in glass apothecary jars to make them into an attractive display.

 

Blend it in

For some items, boxing them up and storing them in a closet isn’t an option. With items you’d like to keep out of sight, but still need easy access to, decorative storage is a great solution. Large baskets provide an attractive way to wrangle magazines or extra blankets. Decorative storage boxes can be a perfect solution to make storage part of your room’s decor. If you have multiple storage boxes, use subtle yet attractive labels. You’ll know what’s in each box, so you won’t have to sift through them all to find what you need.

 

Get Creative

Put under-utilized storage spaces to work. Try using over-the-door organizers to maximize your closet storage. You can even purchase organizers that hang inside of bathroom or kitchen cabinets. These are perfect for storing cleaning supplies and other items you need handy but would prefer to keep tucked away. Pieces that do double-duty, such as a storage ottoman, can help you make the most of your space.
