Science Themed Classroom Decor for Back to School

By Science and STEAM Team

21st Century Little Innovators Classroom Theme!

This set includes:

- Little Innovators letters for a bulletin board banner. White at the top can be folded

over a string, if you want it to swag! Otherwise just cut and staple. It can also

be printed at a reduced size and used at a STEM center.

- Numbers for tables. I call them teams instead of groups to remind students that they

should be working together to help each other!

- Labels for specials schedules and a clock, so you can fill in the times.

- Labels for daily subjects

- Innovator Poster with the definition

- Nameplates with boy and girl engineers and scientists

- Scientists and engineers with stars for writing students' names on.

THESE ARE NOT EDITABLE...you must handwrite in times and names.
