STARS

-
As I mentioned in a previous post, I've decided my classroom theme is going to be stars.  I keep going over sayings and I am reflecting on future bulletin boards.

One idea that popped in my head is a bulletin board entitled We are STARS!  Each kid could have their picture on a star and the following message could be on a mega big star...even a 3-D pop out star.

S-Students who
T-Try their best
A-Always finish their work
R-Read Everyday and
S-Start each day ready to learn

Right now this is just an idea that's developing...I'm sure it will evolve several times...

Any thoughts?

I am linking up with Dragonflies in First to share the best advice from mentors/peers.  It is hard to choose because there are so many words of wisdom that have been so helpful.  If I had to choose one it is based on what a current first grade coworker shared with me one day... Assign each child a number and have them write it on all their papers.  This makes filing a dream (especially if you have a helper).  It facilitates writing grades in the grade book, checking out books (inventory) , and it lends itself to this catchy tune I created. Number, name, and date. Number, name, and date. isn't it great to write your number, name, and date. Tune:  Farmer in the Dell (I believe) We sing this song before every activity. Each child having a number can be used for a multitude of things including mailboxes and lining up.  The possibilities are endless!
