Colorful Palette
It is important to consider the classroom color scheme, graphics, and patterns when choosing a decor theme. Bright colors often evoke feelings of excitement, rejuvenation, and productivity. They are perfect to use in the classroom. This nostalgic retro theme features a vintage-inspired color palette. The same 7 colors are used throughout the art, patterns, and designs to create a cohesive look. Bright colors can easily overwhelm a space. This retro themed classroom bundle balances bright colors with fun patterns using black and white.
Editable Classroom Theme
Take your classroom decor to the next level with editable and customizable resources. The retro rainbow classroom theme is a digital download. All 40+ resources within this color classroom theme come with multiple premade options and editable styles to customize. Each digital file will be downloaded as a Microsoft PowerPoint. Text boxes with embedded fonts are placed throughout the PowerPoint presentation, allowing you to edit each resource to meet your classroom needs. Easily change the wording, font, or language of everything in this classroom bundle. This classroom bundle is perfect for the bilingual classroom. All resources feature a clean design, easy-to-read fonts, and many options to choose from! You can sign up for a free trial of PowerPoint if you do not have access to it on your device.
Helpful Classroom Organization Tools
Classroom organization is extremely important when considering your daily routines and planning. The retro rainbow theme features a variety of organizational tools to help you systemize your classroom this school year. Paper flow and organization are critical. Using a rolling cart with drawers to organize your lesson plans, weekly copies, and student work is a simple way to keep papers tucked away. Choose from the many styles of cart labels featuring bright rainbow colors and begin to edit each label to your liking.
Housing materials and supplies is another important organization system to consider when assembling your classroom. Small teacher supplies such as paper clips, staples, and red pens can be stored in a toolbox. This toolbox* is the perfect size to house the necessities and keeps you from spending valuable lesson time rummaging through your desk drawers. Choose from many brightly colored labels to edit and add to your toolbox. When considering larger items stored in bins, utilize the general classroom labels. They come in many sizes and shapes. Use the group signs to organize bins for your math or reading groups. This ensures that student materials have a home and can be easily found when needed.
Colorful Academic Displays
Improve student learning in your colorful classroom by utilizing many of the academic tools included in this retro classroom theme. A favorite part of this resource is the inclusive American Sign Language alphabet with positive character traits. Each poster features an ASL letter sign, a positive trait, and the letter. Another favorite academic tool is the calendar display! This display is complete with a classroom weather kit, months of the year, days of the month, weekday cards, and cards for special days. Also, support basic skills like numeracy and phonemic awareness using the rainbow alphabet and number posters. These academic tools include helpful visuals for learners in addition to bright colors and fun patterns.
Bright Decorative Displays
Colorful and fun classroom displays can anchor your classroom. There are different ways you can set up displays in your classroom. Bright bulletin boards with encouraging sayings and trendy graphics will bring happy vibes to your classroom.
