My Classroom Window.

For many preschool teachers, the month of May means getting the classroom ready. Okay, so I’m running a wee bit late myself! I’m still trying to decide on a classroom theme for this year. Last year I went with a garden themed room. Maybe because it was my first year back from a two year hiatus, I went a bit overboard. Here is my classroom window.

I love painting on glass windows because it gives the transparent, boring glass life. However, because I had no poster paint on hand I had to find an alternative. Then, chancing upon a pile of scrap cut-up colored papers, I decided to used these! I cut the shapes individually then glued them to the window :-) Unfortunately, because the glass is hit by almost direct sunlight daily, the colors of the papers have faded. Nonetheless this window became inspiration for many class projects for the kids. We sure used a lot of recycled paper and scraps for art projects!

For this year, maybe I’ll go with a city theme. Or maybe a zoo. Suggestions?

by the way, I wanna share this glass window with the rest of the readers of Window Views, a weekly meme featuring, yup, you guessed it, windows.

  1. That’s a wonderful idea! I think kids would enjoy more cutting out animals from a ZOO than city scape :)

  2. How cheerful. A child could not help but be inspired to learn in such an environment.

  3. what a bright and cheery window. Hope you can stop by to see my sepia scene and window view Thanks!

  4. What fun windows you decorated!!

  5. I bet the kids love your windows, Ria! What about the botanical gardens… I like the idea of a zoo… Thanks for joining us! :)

  6. How pretty, and an interesting ‘window view’! I like the ideas of a city theme or a zoo. Another idea could be ‘under the sea’ :)
