Abstract	This theoretical paper is driven by the question, "What does creativity look like in classroom settings?" It is motivated by my past experiences as a teacher: my stories and my students' stories as we struggled together within a restricted classroom environment to create enough space for our creativity to emerge and flourish. I suggest seven metaphors that can be used to describe creativity as it may apply to classroom contexts: overcoming obstacles, or creative desperation, divergent thinking, or thinking outside the box, assembling things in new ways, route-finding, expanding possibilities, collaborative emergence, and birthing, or originating. (As Provided).
