Bulletin boards in primary classrooms can become quite a chore when they have to be changed monthly, or even weekly. Always changing the student work, borders, and background - not to mention punching a new title out of construction paper. There must be an easier way!
Here are a couple of ideas I have
come up with in my classroom, and (so far) my classroom visitors are none the
wiser:
1. On the first bulletin board in my
room, I put up a simple border that is bright yellow, with hard hats on it. I
did punch out letters on the Ellison machine that bear the title "Minds
Hard At Work." The last items I placed on the board are plain laminated
grid papers. I have 3 groups of four: one for each quarter for three subject
areas. On these graphs, I graph weekly chart class averages for such things as
comprehension tests, spelling tests, independent reading points for the class,
etc with permanent colored markers. The markers will come off with nail polish
remover at the end of the year, and you are set once again. I do not put a
butcher paper or fabric background under anything. The brown cork looks just a
nice and makes clean up at the end of the year even easier!
2. The second bulletin board I have
in my classroom has a simple star boarder, cork backing, and a simple homemade
sign that says "Weber's Wonders." From there, I have three rows of
border horizontally working across the board, with push pins evenly distributed
on the three rows to correlate with the number of students in my classroom. I
print a small return address label with each child's name on it from my
computer, and place one above each push pin. Our students have charm necklaces,
which they may earn charms for throughout the year for various awards. I allow
the students to wear their necklaces only on Spirit Day every Friday. This way,
my bulletin board always looks full throughout the week, and the students
always have a charm necklace to show off on Friday, so it does not become lost.
We all win!
