baseball theme
By Amy

I am doing a sports theme in my 1st grade room this year. Here are a few ideas for baseball... On parent night we always have a "wish" list with items that we need for the classroom such as markers, paper plates, etc. Label
a poster size baseball glove with "Pitch In", put class needs on cut-outs of baseballs and have parents take a baseball and return the donated item to the class. We also participate in the "Character Counts" program at our school, so for my bulletin board I chalked a cute baseball boy with his glove in the air and it will be titled - Get "Caught" With Good Character. When another

student sees someone demonstrating one of our character traits, I will write their name on a baseball and put it on the board. My students are seated in cooperative groups, I used clipart to make small baseball fields and each time I see the group being good listeners, being prepared, etc. I will move a small baseball around the bases on their field. I will use tallys for homeruns. At the end of the day the winning team will choose a treat from our treat basket. Hope these ideas are helpful!
