What's a really different theme for my classroom this year?

If you just don't want to do stars or frogs this year, you might want to do a movie theme!

Use Trend's Popcorn Box Classic Accents to write your students' names (or you could use any leftover stars you have from the last time you used that theme...) and make a bulletin board display. The open spaces on these are big enough for student photos as well. Just take your digital camera to class and print out those smiling faces.


There's also a Classic Accents Popcorn Variety Pack using photographs of popcorn kernels. Sprinkle these around your bulletin board, or use them for your word wall.

Use slogans like "Oscar Winning Students," "Mrs. X's Movie Stars," or "Popping Up a Great Year!" or take off on movie titles to have "Math Warriors" and "Write Hard."

The popcorn series includes a calendar and stickers, too.

Use Popcorn Trimmers and Desk Toppers to carry on the theme.

For another bulletin board, use film border. Beg old movie posters from your local theater, or use the movie schedule from the newspaper for the background.

Use this board to announce "A Reel-y Great Year!"

Start the year with Reader's Theater!
