Exploring a variety of decorations.

The children celebrated with joy, adding the last decorations to their bedrooms. It was a long process that required patience and creativity


Sofia took a step back every time she added a new decoration to her bedroom. This way, she was able to look at it from a different perspective and reflect on it. It took her a couple of tries to find the perfect spot for her bed and her baby's crib in her room. "Baby's crib should go on the carpet. That way, the baby is not going to be cold."
 "We both need pillows to snuggle." 


Alexis thoughtfully chose her furniture to be white. "I like white furniture. It goes nice with my pink decorations." 
"A pillow for me and one for mommy when she reads stories." After finishing her bedroom, Alexis decided to make a change. Her pillows were pink like her bed and she realized that they camouflage. Alexis chose to make them white (to match the furniture). 


Bela chose a bunk bed. He added a railing to his bed at the top. Louise will have a blue blanket. When choosing the blankets, Bela tried a colourful blanket, but that made the bed unattractive. "It has too many decorations on it, a blue blanket looks better" 


Janet carefully placed her bed by the window. "My bed is at the window at home and I like it." 



 Maddi wanted a bunk bed in her bedroom. The top part for her and the bottom one for Max. She also added some detailed decorations to the walls. "Stickers make me smile and make the wall look more colourful"


Trystan wanted a lot of furniture in his room. "A bunk bed for me and my friends when they sleep over and lots of shelves for all my toys". 


Roy's red walls express happiness and warmth. Roy likes a cozy room full of decorations. "The sheep on the carpet are nice" 


Jason chose golden walls for his bedroom. "My bunk bed looks perfect in the middle of the room. Like that, I can have a lot of space to play around it." 

 Keira is still working on her decorations! 

 This project gave the children a chance to reflect when choosing a decoration, to analyze the results, to respect and appreciate each others' decisions and to connect to their friends. A lot of bedrooms had similarities that brought up wonderful discussions. The children are very happy with their results and look forward to displaying their projects in their bedroom. 
 "Another decoration to add to our bedroom" said Sofia

 *** the bedrooms will be displayed in the cubbies for a few days.
