Ahoy Matey!! FREEBIE Journal Labels

I hope everyone is having a fun and exciting summer. Can you believe we only have 22 more days of summer and then we are back at work?! Eeeekkk. I know for me that I do not even feel as though my summer has begun. I have been super busy between teaching Math Institute (a staff development in our county), taking care of my son, and unfortunately attending funerals. It has not been the best of summers, but I am hoping that July will be filled with a lot more FUN!

In school related news...
I have picked my classroom theme for next year! I am so excited! I decided to keep my black, red, and white theme from last year. However, this year it will have a twist....PIRATES! Honestly at first I was a little nervous about picking pirates. I wasn't sure that the parents would approve, but with how cute the clip art is and me trying to limit the skull and crossbones, I think it should turn out to be acceptable.

Here are some cute journal labels I have already created to match the theme. You can get them here at TpT for free!!!

I have also begun to think up some wonderful ideas that I need to work on making happen. I am thinking about having the students go on a treasure hunt during registration. I need to create a map that will lead them to very important areas in our rooms, but then at the end they will get a special treat to take home. You will have to read about that one later. I still need to develop the graphic for it. Hint: It involves confetti and if you follow me on Pinterest you can find it. :)

I am also in the process of making certain things in my room pirate themed. Example: my jobs are going to be labeled "The Captain's Crew" this year. Then we will have Pirates Cove (the reading nook). Also have PIRATE folders which will be explained to you later. Behavior will be "Don't Walk the Plank." I wish I could take credit for all these marvelous ideas, but I can't. I am just really good at finding ideas on the internet.

I would love to know what your theme is for this year (if any) or if there is one you wish someone would create?!
