Theodor Seuss Geisel was a children’s author and illustrator whose special style makes a great classroom theme! His inspirational books can provide a good starting point for upper grades, and little kids love his goofy easy reading books.
It’s easy to set up a Seuss classroom, because there are plenty of ready-made decoratives.
There are large stand-up sets.
Eureka makes a terrific quotes collection.
And plenty of classroom characters.
Be sure to have plenty of Dr. Seuss books in your classroom library, of course.
