When I’m gearing up for a new school year, I always ask myself, What can I do to make this year most memorable for my students?
We all have favorite teachers and school years that quickly come to mind when we think about our own elementary school experience. When my former students come back to visit me years after they have been in my classroom, one of the main things they recall is our class theme. Whether it was The Room 13 Rock Stars, Team Newingham, Planet 13, or Studio 13, it was our theme that made the students in my classroom feel like a family and made my classroom feel like their “home away from home."
When choosing a theme, I try to pick something that I can weave throughout every aspect of my school year. See specific ideas and tons of photos for all of the classroom themes I've done in past school years!
