As I close the classroom door on the year--weary and teary, it doesn't take too long before I am contemplating next year's classroom theme. Since I teach a split third and fourth grade, my third graders return next fall into my classroom as fourth graders. Even if I had all
new students--as I will next fall at a new school--I would still design a
new classroom theme!
Even though this year's nautical theme is one of my favorites, by the end of the year I was feeling a little "ship-wrecked!"
New themes, however take
time to plan, make, and shop for! They also take
$$$.
Therefore, I try to incorporate as many elements from my previous theme(s) into the new one! Sometimes it just takes a little tweaking!

I love my partner reading nook called "Polka Dot Pier". The kids loved reading there. It will be a keeper in my new theme next year--which, dear readers, as of yet remains a secret!
Happy dreams . . . of themes!
