Creative School Year Themes: Racing Theme

By  Beth Newingham on August 27, 2012
  • Grades: 3–5

For this classroom theme, my class was referred to as “Team Newingham,” but this time we were a racing team instead of a sports team.

Students were all part of the pit crew when it came to classroom jobs, and the “Star of the Week” became known as the “Driver of the Week.” Students wore race car driver outfits for their first day picture so that race car driver posters could be made for a display in our hallway. I even turned the front of my desk into the front of a race car. Our end of the year video celebration was known as the “Team Newingham Grand Prix.”

View more pictures and information about the racing theme.
