Sports Theme
By Crystal

Hi Jennie,

I teach 5th grade and have used the Sports Theme for three years. I love it.

Our theme is "There is no I in Team"

I have that hanging on my front wall along with pennants I made with each child's name
on it.
Some of my subjects:
Homerun Spellers-Baseball diamond with baseballs with students' names on them. If they score a 100% on tests, they get a baseball sticker on a chart. 15 stickers they earn a baseball pen.
Reading Dugouts- These are my reading centers. Our reading library also has a pair of wooden bleachers that my dad made with sport bean bag chairs.
Writing- Writing

Arena

I also used the homeworkopoly and made a homework Sportsopoly. The students really like this.

Our behavior system is set up with bowling pins, good behavior gets pins taken down to try to get a strike.

Every week I give out clean desk awards- "You hit a Grand Slam with good behavior" and they get a baby ruth.

Jobs: Special Teams- I wrote the jobs on mini goal posts and their names are on small footballs that I changes.

Birthday- Have a ball on your birthday their birthdays our written on various sport balls

I can't think of any others that I use. Oriental Trading magazine has tons of sport stuff. I purchased a lot of blow up balls and bats and hung those around my classroom.

HOpe this helps.
