Outus Motivational Erasable Laminated School Decoration

Classroom posters with inspirational messages and attention-grabbing graphics can motivate students, make classrooms more welcoming and keep teachers and administrators happy. They are an excellent medium for transferring knowledge and encouragement, and many students are attracted to the visual appeal they bring to the room.

Try to think outside the box when it comes to choosing artwork for your classroom. Teachers can look at different posters to decide which ones are appropriate for their students’ age groups; many products will include this information.

You can buy a pack of the posters and rotate them throughout the year to mix things up from time to time. Younger students will enjoy putting them up, so you can make it a classroom activity. Some have laminated finishes that you can write on with dry-erase markers, so you can erase messages and write new ones as needed.

Teachers usually have to foot the bill for their classroom decorations, but these wall banners and posters are usually $12 or less. You can then add ribbons, balloons and other inexpensive decorative items onto them, too.

There are many ways to hang school posters and decorations, from tape to staples and glue dots or other means. Be sure it’s OK with your school’s custodial staff to hang decor on the walls before you start.

• Don’t put up posters with messages that are too young or old for your students because this can confuse or alienate them.
• Another good way to hang up posters is to stick double-sided painter’s tape to the walls and dot on hot glue.
• Do something extra special for the first day of school with posters that welcome students back. You can add balloons and other fun accents.
• Before the first day of school, you can hang up a poster that includes the students’ names, which can make them feel special when they come in on the first day.
• After the school year is over, salvage whatever classroom decorations you can and store them away for the following year.
