"western theme"
By Tabitha

Here are some to help out:
You can use cut outs of cowboys with hats and here are two bulletin boards: It's Going To Be A Rootin'-Tootin' Terrific Year! Have the students fill out a questionare on themselves. You can attach
it to the board with a cut out of a Sheriffs badge.
A jobs board can be Wanted: Hardworkin' Helpers! have a wanted poster for each job you plan on having and take pictures of the students to place under the wanted posters for whose turn it is that week.
You can also enlarge a picture of a steer. Place 3 copies at the bottom of the board and in colorful markers you can list all

the new things the students are going to learn and do this year. Title can be Have You 'Herd' about __ Grade? Real easy and quick to do in the hall or back of the class.

You can introduce yourself to your new cowpokes with an eye-catching teacher feature. Use a small bulletin board and include items that focus on you: family photos, diplomas, awards, old report cards, a picture of you at that age, and things you like to do or collect. The Title could be Say Howdy To The Head Honcho.

For birthdays you can have a paper with boots down the sides and a saying that says Kick Up YOur Heels-It's Your Birthday! Write the childs name and date undernieth. Then cut out a large boot with the saying I Get A Kick Out Of You Because.... and have all the kids sign it telling why.

I got these ideas from the Mailbox- the Big Book of Monthly Ideas Grades 4-6. I am sure you can use them for any grade level. I hope this helps you some.
