In today’s episode, I’m getting real about something we don’t talk about enough when it comes to classroom setup—decor. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to have your entire classroom perfectly polished before the first day, this one’s for you.

I’m sharing why less really is more when it comes to classroom decor, how creating space for your students to contribute can build community, and how ditching perfection can actually help you feel more ready for back to school. Plus, I’ll tell you how this shift changed the way I teach—and how it can do the same for you.

This episode is all about calming the chaos and building a space where you and your students can truly thrive—together. 💛

🎧 Here’s what I talk about:

• Why over-decorating can overwhelm students (and you!)

• How to create a space with your students, not just for them

• What it looks like to leave walls and bulletin boards intentionally blank

• How to turn visuals into tools your students actually use

• Why this mindset shift takes the pressure off of you
