Most parents cringe at the thought of sending their child to a portable classroom. Most teachers cringe at the thought of teaching in one.

Small classroom ideas

I have a small room (hence the name Little Room Under the Stairs) so organization is very important. 1. Choose a few colors to decorate the room. Small rooms are not a place to go hog wild.
