Western Classroom Theme Ideas

WHY CHOOSE A WESTERN CLASSROOM THEME

A western classroom theme helps create an adventure-packed and highly engaging environment where students are excited to learn. Teachers love this theme because students love it (both lower and upper elementary) and it’s quick and easy to put together on a budget. There are tons of DIY ideas out there for this elementary theme.

BULLETIN BOARD IDEAS

BULLETIN BOARD BACKGROUNDS

A cow print fabric makes a great bulletin board background for your western themed classroom. You could also look for a fabric that has a print on it that resembles a banana, or create a background out of several actual bandanas. For a more rustic bulletin board look, a rustic wood roll of paper looks great with this theme.
