Theme
By Jennifer in OK

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have done a patriotic theme the last 3 years. I have put patriotic curtains up. I have a reading area that I have a sign that says "5 Star Books" with red, white, and blue stars with titles of books written on them.
I also put up hanging stars from the ceiling. I have my students make patriotic wind socks the first few days of school and hang them from clips on the ceiling. I also put up various pics from the USA since I teach 4th grade and we cover the regions of the US. I also put up blue fabric on my bulletin boards and put patriotic border around them. A team member of mine has put up posters
with the Pledge of Allegiance, Star Spangled Banner, and Preamble that you can get at teacher stores. I do a money system for classroom mgmt and we use star bucks - also the school mascot. I know there are other things I do, but I can't remember. You can try to go to archives and type in patriotic theme and see what pulls up. I know I have posted before as have others. A lot of the ideas I got fromt his web site.
