Window Mural & Safety Screen

School shootings are a continual concern for teachers across the US. At my current school they installed these wonderful roll down screens to help block views into classrooms in the event of an intruder. Unfortunately my students broke it within the first couple months of school, so I was presented with an opportunity to problem solve!

Using multicolored paper and assistance from one of my lovely TAs, we created this fantastic temporary solution! It has also proven to help with classroom management because I have less hallway interruptions from students passing by. I made this double sided as well so it creates a fun reminder to "Make SMART choices in your life" in the hallway and in my classroom.
