Spend some time making the classroom more visually attractive. Let students see your aesthetic sense at work. Some students may be interested in volunteering to help improve the classroom environment. Select music that is beautiful to you. Get a cassette deck or CD player and let music help you welcome students to your classroom.
Music is also helpful during transitions and work time.
Develop student projects that incorporate drawings, designs, or crafts that enhance learning. Students may volunteer to organize displays, or you may assign this task to student groups on a rotating basis. Continue to assign projects that develop students' sense of aesthetics. Expand your repertoire by using projects built around drama or role play, poetry, dance, or music. Invite other students and parents to see the performances.
