frog theme ideas
By Debbie

I did a frog theme in my second grade classroom last year. I had a job chart titled "Hopper of the Day". I had all the classroom jobs written on that chart and each of my student's names writtien on small frogs. Everyday
there would be a new "hopper of the day" that was responsible for the classroom jobs. Many teachers assign each student a job for the week or for the day, but I've always had one student responsible for everything and it works fine.
I also had frog tags on their lockers with mini frog incentive charts posted. They got to give themselves a frog sticker if they didn't "hop their frog"

for the day. I had a bulletin board set up for my behavior system. It basically consisted of a mini frog (same used for the job chart) with each student's name. Then behind their labelled frog was 4 lily pads. If they misbehaved or broke a rule for the day they were asked to "hop their frog" It worked well!

I always assign my student a number as well (just to organize papers etc) So, in the corner of their desks next to their name tags was a mini frog that had their number written on it so they could remember it.

I hope this gives you some ideas!
Good Luck and Happy Hopping!
