It sounds like you have chosen some great colors for your room! I'm sure it will look great.

I love fun themes. Sadly, I don't put a lot of money into decor for my classroom. I teach emotional support and although I try to keep me room attractive and organized, spending a lot of money is just not smart because at some point, someone will have a really bad day and tear it up. This year, we're doing blues/greens with maybe some yellow and a few ocean-like things (my only self-contained student requested it).

I love your sweet theme. Your bookcases look like the perfect size . I was wondering where you purchased them. Thank you.

A travel theme sounds amazing. I think your kids will love it. A beach theme sounds fun since that's where I'd rather be right now. I think I'll do it. ha!

my theme this year is Travel: An Education Takes You Places (5th grade)--we start off with a research project on famous landmarks--the first week of school!

previous themes have been:
games (that was a fun one to decorate!)
sports (teamwork)
mystery
pirates
Hollywood (had this theme twice)
beach/luau
super heroes
space

i think i'm going to keep my theme the same next year (to save money, time, and energy). i've had this theme once before, several years ago.

i usually like to change my theme each year because it's fun and gets me back into the spirit of wanting to go to school. meh....

I wish I was that good at decorating!

Susan Teach. . . looks great and inviting. Luv it.

Thanks. I think that's the reason I like it so much - it makes me happy 'cause I love sweets.

Nothing is edible, so that helps. If someone finds me nibbling on the decorations, it's time to retire.

My my, that corner looks great! I wouldn't have the willpower. I love sweets too much.

I'm doing a sweets theme (cupcakes, candy, etc...). I officially go back next week, so I've been working in my room. Here's my reading corner. Sorry - I'm not sure why it posted sideways.

I'm sure it looks amazing!!!

I'm doing a Toy Story theme. I'm about 95% finished with everything. I'm excited about it!

I was thinking of doing whales OR elephants because blue and gray sound so calming, but I'm definitely not locked in on either.

What theme or color scheme will you be using this year? My brain is struggling to be creative and I would like to get a few ideas.

Anything helps!

TIA
