It's been a few years since I shared any classroom decorations. In that time, we have gone through a global pandemic; I've changed schools, and a new lab is supposed to be under construction. For the 2022-2023 school year, I decided to embrace the construction and make my theme construction since I was told there would be active construction around me. Although that didn't actually happen, I did have a simple construction theme that prepared us for the year ahead.
Many changes occurred during the 2022-2023 year from moving to a small room without access to running water or safety equipment. When you're in a construction zone, often you have to rethink the activities you would normally do. It forces creativity to try new methods. Hopefully, for the 2023-2024 school year, we will have a brand new lab shortly into the school year and the physical construction zone will only become a mind construction zone.

| My bulletin board was meant to look like a blueprint for the mind. The reactions that I got from students when it clicked for them was great! |

| I always have class rules posted in some form. Since I was limited on decorations I chose to also make them look like a blue print. I actually drew this on the back of another poster. I can remove the sharpies with rubbing alcohol if I need a blank slate again. |
