Make a large welcome bulletin board: There are welcome bulletin board sets that just show posters of the letters in the word ‘welcome’. They come in different themes like confetti and superhero theme. This welcome bulletin board set is perfect for the boho themed classroom in the picture. The size of the posters is just the right space for fitting between the whiteboard and the ceiling.

Amazon has number lines that are ready-made so you don’t have to print them out. There are also sets that come with both the alphabet and the number lines on matching strips. This Alien tape was used to hang up the number line and posters on the cinder block wall.
