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.
