I'd like for us to consider the hallways...they are SOOO DRAB! At Explorer Academy, the hallways have boards that can be stapled to--not strips and not bulletin boards, but actual walls that are staple capable. The halls themselves are "museums of learning." They have museum type lighting towards these works. I love the idea of making our place look better--more home-y. - Maybe we could identify the pods in different ways and use the wallspace where the murals are as heavy duty cork walls - paint each pod entry a brain-based color - Have shelves mounted to display 3-d student work -Mount large magnetic boards for student work display

Paint walls of project and video production labs different colors. Get large round rugs for middle of each lab
