Decisions, decisions: Your classroom theme!

Decisions, decisions....
Of course, the decorating of the classroom is probably one of the most fun things we do each school year that brings us so much joy and the true crafter out of each of us. With that comes all the hours upon hours spent reading articles on Pinterest, pinning them and trying to decide what theme will work for this year's kids, or make your room look the cutest, or help you win the cutest classroom contest (it may not be official, but you know everyone will be talking about it!).

So, after various themes floating through my head and the artistic waves of craftiness and I landed at my decision: college sports!

And there is some back story to this decision, the pics will be in a later post. I'll post a link once it's up for you guys to skip my silly story, here.

So, for those who want to know the story: in our high schools we have a program called Project Graduation that is put on each year for the senior class. The program was developed to keep youth away from drugs, alcohol, and everything else that they could potentially get into trouble with. Well, the year I was a senior the lovely moms in charge made a college pennant for each school that someone in our graduating class was accepted to. Well, a few years later it was my younger brother's turn to graduate and there just wasn't as much parent involvement as there had been in the past. So the powers that be decided to rent out a local party place (Main Event for those who have one) and so they didn't need to decorate a lot. Well, being the family that never says "no" that we are, we got volunteered ("stuck") with cleaning out the storage unit. Well, I came upon a box of all those pennants and had a small idea that maybe one day I could use it in my classroom or school. Which is where the plan to have a college sports theme came from. Not to mention, my love for the LSU Tigers! Geaux Tigers!

That brings us to the decorating part, I have some craft ideas dancing around in my head and my next few posts will definitely let you know what I've come up with!
