I have always envied the truly themed rooms that I see all over the place. I would love to just jump in an go full themed. That however is too expensive for me so I'm going with a more gradual approach. Here are some of the things I have already done to go with my Hollywood/movie theme.
This is my environmental print board. I have created boxes that resemble real candy boxes and used fonts to match to add students names to this board as well. I will have to try to get a picture of them.
I created a set of alphabet posters to go with the theme. Unfortunately the school color printer came out really dark so you can't see the letters very well. I am going to add some foam letters to them to make it pop out better. They are super cute though. Each one has a kid movie that start with that letter. A few took some googling to figure out! : ) I am going to put the popcorn words on clothespins and hang them on the ribbon under the letters.
The next set of pictures are not truly Hollywood/movie themed. But they are more cleaned up and made to match more.
These are my leveled readers. I have a love/hate relationship with this shelf. It is low and easy for my kids to access. But look at it!! It is ugly. Do you see the green part between J and K where the paint has peeled? UGLY! I plan to paint the whole thing (and all my other shelves) black when I can get back into my room.
This board holds our word attack strategies and the beanie babies that go with them. Still needs a cute header and an eagle beanie. Again I don't have $10 to spend on a stuffed animal so thrift store searching continues.
Another revamped bulletin board. This has my voice level chart, high five reward system I posted about previously, and the PBS expectations for my class.
I LOVE this board! It is contact paper on my white board. It was such a pain to put on but it looks so nice! I posted the FACES headers here.
Well that is all I have for pictures for now. I'll take more when I get back into my room!

I love your classroom. You have some very good ideas! I wish I could paint my bookcases. I am thinking about covering them with paper...
