We have just been told our theme for next year is Treasure/Pirate theme. I’m pretty excited for this one. I have so many plans for the classroom. I wanted to make the library a cool place to sit. I plan on hanging grass from the ceiling, adding bean bags, and really making the classroom feel like it’s from an island. I thought about making five groups of desks and naming them after the seven continents. My partner teacher’s desk and my desk will be the other two continents. This way the students can learn their seven continents at the same time. I’ve also come up with a few great bulletin board ideas. The reading board will say “Get Caught Up in a Good Book.” I will also have a net with fish caught in it. Summer has just begun and I am already thinking of next year. I wonder if all teachers do this during their summer vacation.
