When I moved into this office I decided I wanted to decorate it in SUPERHEROES! Since I was a little girl I have always loved superheroes. I remember as a young child dressing up as Wonder Woman. I would grab a stick, a card board box for a shield, cuffs I made from paper, and tape and would play for hours outside. I wanted to bring my love for superheroes into my new office.
First, I have a picture my husband's baby brother painted when he was in the 7th grade. This picture is special to me because he died tragically in a motorcycle accident just over a year ago at the young age of 20. As you can see he was a very talented artist. He was pretty much talented in everything he did. This picture is a great reminder of him and makes me smile on daily when I see it.
In this picture you can also see the Lego wall and my awesome new red bean bag chairs. I wanted to create an area that students can play and just hang out when they are doing a really great job in class.
Here is my awesome new desk! The office I am in now was the nurse's office. We decided to switch our offices simply because mine had a bathroom and she needed it more than me when kids are sick, need to change, etc. When she moved she left her desk and I wasn't about to complain. It is so adorable!
I had an old round table that wobbled and some chairs that I am pretty sure were original to the building (1950s era). I still wanted a table, but I felt like a rectangular table fit in this space better and I could easily move it around when I have a class in here. I also decided to buy these cool blue chairs to add a pop of color. I really like how it turned out. Also, isn't that the coolest Superman poster? My husband bought it from an artist who sells a limited number of a certain poster. Once he sells out he never sells them again. So it is definitely special! Shout out to my husband for letting me hang it in my office!
Here is a closer look :)
My awesome new cubby shelf! This is where I keep all of my supplies for lessons and professional developments. The giant board above allows me to hang some of the awesome pictures and cards I receive from the students.
On these shelves I display my diplomas, books, and games for students to play. Underneath the table are filing cabinets.
I am a firm believer that every space in the school should be kid friendly ...even the principal/assistant principal's office. How can you make your office more student friendly? Comment with your thoughts and ideas below!
