Wild West Theme By Mrs. T

This was my classroom theme this year so I've attached some ideas...

The Tumbleweed Times- newsletter
Ranch Hands- job chart
Buffalo Bucks- reward incentives
Cowchip Compliment Chain
Reading Corral or Reading

Ranch Buckaroo Reading Log Cowboy Chronicles- column to find out "Bits and pieces of info to make life in the wild west easier to manage" "Get the lowdown (can't remember if that's how I spelled it)"- information bulletin board The General Store- column to find our "what's happenin' aroung town" News from the Ranch- weekly update Trail Blazin' Behavior- column in newsletter

commending students and volunteers
Circle the Wagons- column in the newsletter to "find answers to your questions"
Welcome back bulletin board- photos of kids in cowboy hat with a mustache and bandana around their necks added to "Mrs. Trieger's Most Wanted" posters. The kids added outlaw names like "The Knitting Bandit" to the signs which also included their real names.
These are some of the ideas I used... Hope it helps.
