Make a Welcome back to school bulletin board like this using a rainbow markers border trim and these crayon cut-outs. (#ad)

Crayon classroom banner (#ad) and Crayola classroom caddy (#ad)

I think that scribble patterns go perfectly with a crayon theme because it looks like the scribbles could have been shaded in with crayons. It reminds me of Elmo's World on Sesame Street, the set there rocks the crayon scribbles and it is so cute. So, you can merge the use of scribble borders, labels, and letters to decorate your classroom like in the picture above. (#ad)

TpT has printable scribble frames for classroom decor like these scribble labels (#ad).

Social Distancing Classroom Furniture for Students

2020-11-26T07:02:00.001-08:00

Social Distancing Classroom Furniture is now a must-have for students in classroom. The school-wide focus now is to have well spaced individual seating in classrooms. You would really need for each student desk to have its own storage compartment to allow each student to have his/her own supplies to prevent the passing around of tools. If tools are shared, then germs are shared also.

Make a classroom jungle using fake plants. Use lots of brown wrapping paper to make the base of the plants. The cute monkey cut outs used in this room above are but I think that they are etter suited for bulletin boards. Using them to create a 3D jungle scene takes away from the realism. Maybe some plush toy monkeys would have been better. However, the cut-outs look great as part of a bulletin board like the ones below.

Monkey cut-outs and animal print letters for classroom bulletin boards.

Use green and brown paper (#ad) to create a jungle.

There are lots of black and white printables that you can use to decorate your classroom. See black and white classroom decor printables in my TpT collection.
