Flash forward some 16 years later, and I have finally gotten on board with a themed idea. When I first changed jobs two years ago to be a reading specialist, I knew that I would be working children pretty hard in their reading skills. My philosophy has always been to work and have fun in the process. So, I wanted to make the room and student incentives as fun as possible. I went to my local teacher store and saw some RAD (totally 80's word) girl and boy electric guitar players. The words "Read Like a Rock Star" instantly came to me. I had so much fun thinking about and finding items that fit my theme.
Last year, my theme was "Wild About Reading." Monkeys were everywhere in the room!
So this year, I have been thinking and thinking about what I would like my theme to be. I have decided to use . . . . . . . . . . . (do you hear a drum roll in the background?) "Reading is So Delicious!" When I talk about being delicious, I am not talking about healthy food delicious, I am talking Willy Wonka delicious! I have yet to decide on a color scheme for this. However, I love this new line by creative teaching press!
I do really like this color scheme. I don't admit this to many people because my good friends make fun of me when I do, but my favorite color is BROWN! I just think it is a very soothing color. I think I a winner!
What themes or ideas do you use to decorate your classrooms?
