8th Grade All Stars!!
By Janine

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have taught sixth and seventh grades for the past 5 years. I am going to be teaching 8th grade this year. Middle school kids love "themes". In the Middle School I taught at previously, we had a schoolwide theme each
year. We tied it in many different ways (hall passes, bboards, name tags for kids and teachers' rooms, etc). I am at a new school this year, and I am using "All Star Students". The only bulletin board I have completed so far, is "Welcome 8th Grade All Stars". I have a ton of posters and cut outs of different sports and equipment.

We also used, "Dive Deep for Your Dreams", "On the

Right Track", "Have a Record Breaking Year", and some others. I can offer ideas on them if you're interested. Also, remember that 8th graders still like themes and incentives!! They aren't quite as grown as they think they are!!

Good Luck,
Janine
