Next, have them carefully use scissors (kids safety scissors depending on their age) to create window flaps that will open out. This part may be tricky so make sure you're around to assist. With this successfully accomplished, mount the cutout onto a piece of construction paper (black, orange, or yellow to keep with the Halloween theme). As the glue dries, invite your students to use brainstorm a list of common contractions and the original words they're derived from.\n\u003cp\u003eOnce everything is set, have your students finish the exercise by neatly penning the contractions on the front of the house windows then open the flaps and write the original words on the construction paper underneath.

The (very talented!) creator of this bulletin board decoration used oil pastels and advanced shading techniques to create this tree. If this seems daunting, consider creating a simpler tree with brown construction paper or brown bulletin board paper. Either use an overhead projector to enlarge and trace the shape of a basket onto the paper or, if you don’t want to mess with a projector, you can freehand it. It isn’t terribly difficult. 2) The Night Sky. Again, the bulletin board designer used oil pastels to create the brilliant moon, but you can certainly use plain yellow construction paper or yellow background paper. To add a twinkle to the sky, place small silver star stickers around the tree and board. 3) The Leaves. Create a simple leaf template from card stock, using it to trace and cut leaves from construction paper in fall colors (e.g. red, orange, yellow, and brown). 'Scatter' these around the base of the tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the design seems simple, we think this bulletin board display would make a spectacular addition to your classroom this fall!

Draw a large spider shape onto a piece of black bulletin board paper, large sheet of black poster board, or sheets of black construction paper that have been taped together. Cut out and complete using white, purple, and black construction paper to construct goofy spider eyes and a mouth. 3) The Spider Web. String up orange fake spider webbing (like the kind used to decorate bushes!). 4) The Details. Because of it's Halloween theme, the creator added several pumpkins and fall leaves. You could free-hand a template for these or you might also be able to find a black and white clip-art print online or through your word processing software that could then be printed onto colored card stock and cut out. 5) The Lettering. Unlike other boards, the creator of this display uses the title letters as artwork as well.

As you can see with Laurie's, the shape doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, a \"lumpy\" hat goes right along with the scarecrow \"image\"! Laurie then added a band of lighter orange paper and a sunflower to create visual interest and differentiate the brim from the rest of the hat. The design is super cute, but remember that you can customize the hat as you please! Add a colorful patch somewhere on the hat, use a fall leaf or colorful button cutout instead of a sunflower to decorate the band, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, cut several strips of yellow bulletin board paper and arrange them to create the scarecrow's straw hair. By cutting the strips different lengths or attaching them at different heights, more dimension is created! When dry {and secure!}, mount the entire hat\/hair combo to the top of the door frame. To complete the display, add the scarecrow's \"face\" to the door - two black circle eyes, one orange triangle patch nose, and a black stitched mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only do we love the design, we love the extra added accents Ms. Butler used!

From black construction paper, cut two medium-sized circles and mount them onto larger circles, cut from white construction paper to create eyes. Add these to the center of the door. Cut \"bolts\" from gray construction paper and attach these to the door frame - about two-thirds of the way from the top of the door. Add the rest of the detailing with black craft paint - the stitches on Frankenstein's forehead, a nose {a simple \"U\" shape}, and mouth. [NOTE: There are several alternatives for the mouth.

First of all, I just want to highlight how perfect Michelle's spider web is. Isn't it amazing?! I need to ask her how she made it, but if we were tackling this bulletin board, here are a few ways we might go about recreating the web. (A) Find a clip art image online, use your classroom projector system to enlarge the design, then trace it in pencil onto the background paper. To finish, trace over the pencil lines with a white paint pen. (B) Follow the same steps above, but instead of tracing the pencil lines with a paint pen, use craft glue to glue white yarn to the design. This offers a more three-dimensional look which could be cool and a bit more 'realistic' looking. 2) The Book Covers. Make color copies of the physical book covers you intend to display, print colored pictures of the covers using images found online, or display collect actual book covers to display.
