Seasonal Science Bulletin Board

I wanted a bulletin board based on something we've been working on,  and decided on science. We identified all the science we see around us in the fall season. Then, I can just update the board for winter in December. They thought of things like making hot chocolate, leaves in a pile, colder temperatures, etc. Then they had to explain the science behind it. I think it turned out great. I love the window. I used a transparency sheet for the glass!

March Madness Bulletin Board

We're doing a multiplication challenge that is March Madness themed, and I got the UNC Tar Heels. So, I got busy making some logos and things for the bulletin board.

For my door. I can't help but make the same face when I walk by him.

The board - each student gets a basketball and puts a sticker on when they've passed off facts.
Our Ram flag - We carry him with us everywhere. He gets taped to our lunch table and everything. They've named him "Rammy"
More of my ideas to follow...

Painting without a brush - Winter Scene

I found this on this blog: Blog Link

I decided to talk about texture and use different items to paint without actually using a paintbrush. The kids had fun, and they turned out really well!

Quotation Marks

Here is a quick fun lesson on quotation marks... color some macaroni noodles green and red using food coloring. Then have students write a sentence that uses dialogue (I just happen to like to make mine rhyme!). Use the green macaroni for when the talking starts, and the red for when the talking stops.

Constellation bulletin board

I had my students write constellation stories. They had to choose a character and come up with a way for the character to end up in the stars as a constellation. The stories were really great, and the board turned out cute! (I pulled out my star fabric for the background, and my handy astronaut from many years ago!)

Winter Bulletin Board

We had a day with a two-hour weather delay, so I came up with a quick bulletin board for winter. The kids wrote about a favorite book.

Fall Watercolor Trees

It was time for the quarterly behavior celebration, and I had the art club as usual. I found this idea on this website. A perfect fall project, and they turned out amazing (especially since I had 5 kindergarteners in my group - yikes!).

Kindergartener

The whole group!
