For teachers, classroom wall design can be in advance of teaching schedule. It' s a time-consuming thing just for pleasing the parents or examination and evaluation. Thus, they pay more attention to the good looks of the walls rather than the functions.The third part: States the role of children in the wall design of kindergarten classroom: a passive receiver and marginal people. Their works are showed partly on the walls. They are demanded to collect materials for the wall design by teachers, and occasionally to help teachers glue something or do some trifle things.
