You can find some cute books about cowboys/cowgirl, or that just have cowboys/cowgirls as the main characters. The kids can bring a book and a doll home each week and take pictures of what they did with the mascot and write about it in a journal/notebook. They bring them back on Monday and at the end of the week another student gets to bring them home. My kids LOVE having mascots and they love getting to look through the books to see what Max & Ruby did the week before!! It's really cute and I put them out for parent teacher conferences and keep the old ones to put out also!<br /><br />I do like the idea of letting the kids name them... that would be fun too! Or if you find a book go with the characters from the book!<br />StephStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793840141910602020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629711155990847727.post-59612480566026090442012-07-01T16:21:40.497-05:002012-07-01T16:21:40.497-05:00I did think of that, Connie, but I thought I might...I did think of that, Connie, but I thought I might want to go ahead and have them named for either historical or fictional wild west/cowboy names.

However, if you want to pick them, you could pick two historical figures like Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill Cody. Your class could do some research on them and learn some historical facts along the way. Your theme is going to be so much fun!!! If you take pictures of your kids at the beginning of the year, it might be fun to have them each wear a cowboy hat and a bandana around their neck for the picture. <br />Connie:)<br />www.welcometofirstgraderoom5.blogspot.comMrs. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292753700972397708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629711155990847727.post-19013977841816464152012-06-30T21:59:58.665-05:002012-06-30T21:59:58.665-05:00I think the names above are all good.
