Bulletin Boards





 Today I wanted to talk to you about bulletin boards.Bulletin boards are great to have in a classroom for so many reasons. I hope that your classroom is designed so that there is space for you to have one in your classroom. A bulletin board can hold information or be a form of greeting such as the two examples that I have posted. We have a bulletin board in our classroom that does not change during the year that has the calender, days of the week chart, weather chart, letter of the week, and other information. The purpose of this bulletin board is to hold the daily information. The other bulletin board that we have is used as a greeting and changes as seasons, holidays, or months change. This bulletin boards is special because the students help create it. Many times we find a cute saying and combine it with a craft or vice versa. As you can see the students artwork is similar, but not the same. Crafts that are open ended allow the child to create in a way, so that their item is their own and not just like someone else. Many times we give the material needed for the craft along with some direction when needed, otherwise the students are free to create. These are the type of crafts that I love because it shows parents and others that each child is unique. So find a cute bulletin board idea in a mailbox magazine, online, or anywhere else. You could even dream one up yourself! The main point is to make it child friendly by have fun in your class and show it on the board.
