Currently, ready-made templates for creating a corner are on sale. But the meager budget of schools and some uniformity of templates do not allow you to create something individual, unlike the corners of other classes and schools. Therefore, you have to do original ideas on your own, focusing on your imagination, but also not forgetting the guidelines and requirements for the design of corners in the classroom. It is worth taking into account some age-specific features of students: information should be provided in different ways to primary, middle and high school students.

The basic requirements for design are reduced to aesthetics, creativity, reflection of all the interests of students. Information reflected on the stands should be carefully selected based on its relevance and importance. Photographs, drawings and articles should reflect the work with parents, the educational and extracurricular activities of students, develop the creative abilities and horizons of students, form a sense of beauty, and rally the class.

Usually in classrooms they reflect information about life in the classroom: lists of students who are on duty, upcoming birthdays and holidays, lesson schedules and letters, letters and diplomas of students, information about upcoming contests and events, available electives, classes and sections, about leaders and elders of the class, about the general achievements of students. You can place photos from the life of the class, the logo and charter of the school, announcements, phone numbers of students, teachers and the class teacher, jokes, funny stories, puzzles, poetic greetings.

Before starting to create a corner, think over the overall composition of the stands: select their subject matter, select information, determine how many sections there will be and what will be contained in them. The result of this work should be a general sketch or drawing of a future corner. It can be drawn in color on paper or on a computer, and the most active parents and even the students themselves can be involved in this work. The latter is even preferable, since the children in the process of creativity make friends with each other, learn how to work in a team, and develop their aesthetic taste. In addition, many will be pleased to see their drawings, their own poems or applications at the stands.

When choosing information that will be posted on the stands, it is recommended to be guided by the age characteristics of students, their tastes and interests, as well as the estimated size of the stands. Themes and design styles when creating a corner yourself can be very different.

For elementary school students, it is advisable to use images of modern cartoon characters, fairy-tale characters, and popular computer games in the design of stands. You can draw suns, trains, rainbows, flowers, animals, school items, hand-drawn boys and girls with briefcases. The corner should be made bright, simple, in a playful way. For students in grades 3-4, you can use simple mathematical formulas, spelling rules, elements of the multiplication table, write the rules and motto of the class, the rules and commandments of true friendship, verses and riddles as design elements. Often drawn up a calendar of nature.

Middle school students begin to perceive information from a more serious point of view. It welcomes the design in the form of a book or a simple Internet site with elements of mathematics, literature, art or sports symbols. However, do not overload the corner with an abundance of information. In the 5-7th grade, new subjects begin to be studied, so additional information will be perceived hard. The overall style should be fun and simple at the same time.

For high school students, a cool corner, first of all, should be a source of pride for their class, look moderately strict, but attractive. At this age, students are already getting used to serious work, so they should be more actively involved in the work on creating stands. Many students lead a busy extracurricular life, and this fact is also worth noting in the classroom. Someone draws pictures, plays musical instruments, wins sports awards, participates in competitions or olympiads. This kind of "advertising" will encourage other children to also get on the pages of the corner, look for their interests and achieve significant success in them. Various kinds of scientific information, advice on choosing a future profession, schedule and documentation for future exams, consultations on subjects are pertinent.

As a material for a corner, paper, cardboard, plywood, fabrics are more often used. These are simple and affordable materials that are easy to process. Even with a small budget, you can create the perfect stands. But if finances allow, more sophisticated materials can be applied, and specialists can be involved in the manufacture of the stand. For example, order plastic or magnetic plates in a workshop, make a computer design, etc.

In addition to the fact that the cool corner should completely change every 2-3 years, the information in it should be constantly updated. Otherwise, he will quickly get bored and stop attracting attention. Therefore, replaceable design elements should be considered. The easiest option is removable sheets of information that can be placed under glass or re-glued each time. Replaceable tiles made of plastic, fabric, wood can be provided.

When creating a cool corner, you need to think about whether it will be in harmony with the overall design of the class. If the class was previously intended for older students, its design will be very different from the corner of elementary school students. In this case, it will first be necessary to remove or change the general design of the cabinet. A completely different situation is when a teacher is provided with a new, completely unformed class. In this case, the work of creating a corner will be the first step towards decorating the class.
