How to secure a classroom door?

Proposing a classroom security solution involves weighing many different factors, such as:

  • How do we prevent or slow down an active shooter?
  • Does the solution make sure that a criminal cannot lock him or herself into a classroom?
  • Does the solution lock out the police or emergency responders?
  • How do we ensure the solutions implemented don’t produce unintended consequences such as fire hazards?

What ideas would you bring to classroom?

are excellent clues to what a word is not and thus help define the words.

  • Clues of substitution: A known word would make sense in the context and is probably a good definition.
  • Clues of definition: The word is defined in the text (many textbooks do this).
  • Clues of opposition: Words “not, unlike” etc. are excellent clues to what a word is not and thus help define the words.

Fall Door Decorations

The first door is decorated as a brightly colored owl with a sign to the left saying "Fall is a hoot!" I also love the scarecrow with the big hat going over the top of the door.

Apple Door Decorations

I always love apples in the fall season and these two are great to make!

Leaf Door Decorations

My favorite leaf decoration is the second one where each student's photo is hidden in the paper leaf pile...kids would have a kick out of finding each other!

Thanksgiving Decoration Ideas

Gobble gobble! Make your own big turkey out of paper and write a clever quote on it like these ones.

13. Beautiful Butterflies

This really takes a standard classroom door to the next level. Those 3-D butterflies really make it gorgeous.

14. Promote Sustainability

The best part is the way this teacher reused old newspaper to transform the door. Very cool!

16. Bilingual Message

It’s a positive message and a wonderful way to display your incoming students’ names. You can put up any message that you want!

18. When Sharpness Counts

When it comes to classroom doors, you can never ever go wrong with pencils.

21. Love for Pete

He will always be a favorite! This design really works well because it’s big, bright, and friendly.

24. Arrgh You Ready?

You can change out the pirate’s clothing throughout the year, or even make it seasonal!

25. Chalk It Up

Why yes, that is a chalkboard door, and the message can change daily if you want.
