[quote=Anonymous]I worked in an elementary school as support staff for almost 20 years. One of the most popular and also effective teachers was a guy who had very little on his walls, bulletin boards, etc. I think he had a few sports posters and a toy basketball net hanging on the back of the closet door where on Fridays the kids shot baskets to win a homework pass. This was 4th grade. The point is, he did great and nobody complained about his minimalist decor. If your students are early elementary I think you ought to let them create stuff to decorate your walls. Also, create your own calendar on a piece of poster board, maybe even build your own small bookcase or ask a friend to do it or help you with it, etc. Get a cheap rug at the goodwill store. And ask your fellow teachers for help and advice. Most of all, stop crying. There will be plenty to cry about later once the school year starts, trust me. [/quote]
