From Circus to Ocean

This school year I decided to change from a Circus Themed classroom to an Ocean Theme. Why, I don't know... I just moved classrooms last year and one would think I should get a lil more time with it all before tearing it down!  I love having a theme in my classroom, but find that I like to change it often....why? Why do I like extra work?  So far I am loving the ocean theme.... so maybe this time I will stick with it longer! Here are some pictures of the chaos I entered when I walked into my room at the end of August. Do you ever feel like you may have a heart attack when you walk in for the first time at the end of summer?!

I did love how all the student work really popped on the black background. Most people thought black was an odd choice for a kindergarten classroom, but I loved it! But time to pull it all down!

These walls are TALL and LONG and it was a full work out to get it all down. There in the corner is my old circus reading tent that was in the library... it was a big hit so if you are looking to do a circus theme you will need one! I got that one at Oriental Trading Company. Now on with the ocean! I decided on a light blue background and used sheets from Walmart to cover all the walls. The work won't pop as much, but the blue will be soothing. Ocean classroom pictures coming soon!
