themes
By Connie

My themes come from our reading series. I have not set times but I suppose they may be a minimum of a week. By mid year they seem to take longer since we have more skills to work with by then.

I had a student teacher once that did her own themes. She carried them into every subject area including math. The kids got really sick of dolphin math , dolphin reading, dolphin SS, dolphin art etc. They would whine, "Oh not not dolphins again." She toned it down a bit because it was making her crazy,too.

My general classroom theme is bees. Since lots of the stories we use throught the year has a bee as a character.
