Extreme Makeover: Classroom Edition

That's right...once I found out I got the job at Knowlton,  I have been think about what I want to do with my classroom (who am I kidding I have been thinking about this since I graduated college or even before). I came to the conclusion that I wanted to have a "Tropical/Luau" theme. I thought it would be fun to have bright colors in the classroom, and a fun festive atmosphere when the kids come to school. So Tropical it was. Throughout the summer I had been collected everything and anything I could that would work in my classroom. Enjoy the before and after pictures:
