Circus Theme Resources


School is officially out for the summer! I'll miss the group of students that I had, but I am looking forward to a new group of fresh young minds. Since it is summer break, it's the perfect time to first relax, but to also plan for the upcoming school year. In retrospect I have learned a lot this past school term. I noticed some things that worked really well and some that just plain flopped.

I observed this past year some of the students had not been introduced to a wide variety of different types of animals. So, for the upcoming year I plan on introducing a variety of animals throughout the school year. My wonderful assistant and I discussed the classroom theme, and we came up with a circus theme. I am currently working on bulletin boards, word walls, center signs, and classroom decorations and activities centered on the circus theme.


Cubby Tickets – A set of (4) colorful tickets with editable text boxes in Microsoft Word. I plan on using the tickets to label the children’s cubbies this coming up school year. I will also take a picture of them on the first day of school and add to the ticket. This will help the children that cannot recognize their name in print.
