Star Theme
By Patti

I used a "star" theme last year. I had a poster board that said "Rising and Falling Stars". This was a method of keeping track of behavior. I had a closepin with a small star glued to it. On the star was the student's name.
During the day, the star could fall(a little at a time) until, for some children, the star would hit the ground. The students didn't like this, because if the star hit the ground, recess time was lost! I would also have a "star student" of the week. This was determined by overall behavior and also willingness to do a good job. We all know if it were determined just by behavior, some students

would never obtain this goal! Opening bulletin board could be stars with student's names and a saying" Mrs.(Miss)_______ class stars or 1st grade stars.
