We returned to our classroom on January 4th to find that our back wall had been painted a calming blue color. We were all so excited! These pictures do not do it justice. It has already made a difference in our classroom. In fact, multiple teachers have told me that they want a painted accent wall too. The blue cupboard in the back cupboard looks completely different. It is a built in original piece. We contemplated tearing it out, but we were not sure about what the flooring underneath would be and didn't want to chance having an unexpected expense. I'm going to change that big bulletin board to match better, but decided to wait until the rest of transformation takes place in order to pick the best color scheme possible. I can't wait for the final product...
