Rationale: I chose the theme Outer Space because there are multiple ways to incorporate objects and concepts from Outer Space into a Kindergarten classroom. With the Outer Space theme in a classroom, students can experience something different than what goes on in their everyday lives. This theme allows the students to be creative and adventurous while learning at the same time.
