Miss Savage is a first-year teacher. She is extremely exciting about setting up her classroom. She goes to the teacher supply store and buys many posters, charts, and displays for her walls. She also spends time making several items that she puts up: a welcome back to school bulletin board, a calendar, and a place for daily assignments to be posted. She invites you in to view her room a few days
before the students arrive; you notice that the walls are virtually covered in fun, engaging print and pictures. When she asks you what you think about her room you say,
a. "Wow! Any kid would be lucky to be in this room…there is so much to see that it'll never get boring.".
b. "I know how hard you have worked on this, and it looks fantastic! But you might want to take a bit of it back down and leave some blank space; it's awfully stimulating. You can save the things you take down for later.".
c. "I suggest you hang some mobiles or something from the ceiling! That's all it needs to be perfect!"
d. "I think it's better to have the walls completely blank when the year starts, and add to them as the year progresses.".
