5th Grade! Now Starring...

To welcome my new stars in September, here is my beginning of the year bulletin board.


The red title was cut with my school's die-cut machine and laminated.  I keep the letters in a plastic bag so they are ready to use each year.  The small yellow stars are cut out of construction paper and have each student's name on them.  They are, after all, the upcoming superstars of the year.The red and silver stars are cut from glittery craft foam and tied on with ribbon.

After spending some time together as a new class, I like to have students write something on the back of their star that they are a superstar at.  Many students choose a sport or activity they are successful at.  Then, we place the stars back up on the board.  Students take turns reading our superstar talents and guessing who they belong to.  We can check the answers by looking at the names on the back of the stars. It's a great way to start things off on a positive note!
