2 min read No Comments

Let’s face it—teachers like me can’t walk into a Target without making a beeline to the dollar spot or wandering “accidentally” into the storage bins aisle. We may tell ourselves we’re just browsing, but let’s be real: your classroom has a look. A vibe. A whole identity. And that decor you so carefully chose? It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s a window into your teacher’s soul.

So here’s the big question:
What does your classroom decor reveal about YOU as a teacher?

Dinosaurs? Camping? Tropical Paradise? If your walls tell a story and your students walk into a world of thematic details, this one’s yours.

Style 2 –

Think clean lines, calming tones, and clutter-free zones. If your classroom says “serenity,” this might be your match.

Style 3 –

Anchor charts and student work everywhere you look—if your walls do the teaching, this one’s yours.

Style 4 –

Rainbow bins? Color-coded groups? If your label maker gets more love than your coffee mug, then this is you!

Style 5 –

Wobble stools, floor cushions, and a rotation system so smooth it rivals airport boarding zones—if you’re seating-savvy, you know who you are.

Style 6 –

Lamps, plants, soft lighting, and spaces that feel like grandma’s living room? If you’ve ever brought in your own throw pillows, this is your style.

Go ahead. Pick the classroom that reflects your style.
Because behind every bulletin board and bean bag chair…
There’s a brilliant, intentional, one-of-a-kind TEACHER.

Let’s celebrate the style—and the superpower—that makes you you.

When I started teaching, I quickly realized that student teaching didn't prepare me for the real challenges of being alone in a classroom full of young children. The learning curve was steep and time was limited. That is why I created the Literacy Garden. My hope is this will be a place for inspiration, mentoring, and connecting.
