When your new students come in this fall, what will your room say to them? The walls, the workstations and all of the contents of the room should say in one form or another, "We love and worship God, I love you and we're going to learn about him." Think creatively as you put up a bulletin board or posters. If you do not have much space or share the room with other activities in your building, cover your table with pictures. Consider using a large cardboard (furniture boxes work) backdrop that you can cover and change each week.
Make sure you have puzzles, play dough, safe scissors, pictures for coloring, water colors, paint brushes and all the supplies to activate learning for those tactile/kinesthetic children who will come into your room this year.
