theme
By luv2teach77

How about a "garden" theme? I did it one year and used lots of sunflowers and bugs. I bought a small tent at Target that was very colorful and had butterflies and ladybugs on it that my students used to read in.

I also made a very cute birthday display using a planter box filled with some of that green foam and spanish moss on top. I bought birthday pencils and used a flower die-cut. I wrote their name and birthday on the flower and hot glued it to the eraser part of the pencil. Then stick all the flower pencils in the planter box and you have "Blooming Birthdays".

For my behavior

system, I covered a BB in cute yellow fabric with little bees. I used a card system that year, but each card was actually a different color flower that they had to change. The title was "Be on Your Best BEEhavior".

My word wall was called "A Garden of Growing Words", which was very fitting as we added new words each week and it grew as the year went on.

Although I did this theme a few years ago, you might still want to have a look at the Dollar Tree for cute "bug" stuff. I found some very cute ladybugs and dragonflies that I used to hang from my ceiling with some clouds. I also found some fake sunflowers that I "planted" in some pots using the green foam stuff again to stick them in to give my room more of a garden feel.

Good luck. I hope my ideas help you out a bit.
