The season is full of distractions! In November and December, students are distracted by the coming holidays and time off school, and in the months leading to spring students are distracted by their pent up energies and wishes for the freedom that warmer weather brings. With a room full of distracted students, it's hard to keep them motivated and focused on the tasks at hand. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/lessonplans.btskinner.com\/bboard.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eTonya Skinner\u003c\/a\u003e has designed a fun, winter-themed bulletin board to remind students not to fall behind on their work \u003cem\u003edespite\u003c\/em\u003e the distractions of the season!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDon't Get Snowed Under...

Skinner's board portrays two different types of students; those that stayed current on their assignments\/studies and those who have put everything off. You can freehand the bulletin board characters onto white card stock or construction paper and use graphic art tools to color them in, or create the characters from pieces of colored construction paper. The students who have chosen to give into the distractions of the season, find themselves \"floundering\" in the snow, while the student who has kept up with their studies waits at the top of the hill - book in hand - to sled down in a sleigh! 2) The Sleigh. You can freehand this onto red construction paper or you might be able to find a black and white clip art image online or though your word processing software and print it directly onto colored card stock. 3) The Snowman. Use construction paper to cut out and assemble a snowman to place at the bottom of the hill. 4) The Snowflakes. Create a template from card stock, using it to trace and cut snowflakes from white and gray construction paper, or find a black and white clip art image and print it directly onto colored card stock. 5) The Clouds. Create a template from card stock, using it to trace and cut several clouds from white construction paper, or find a black and white clip art image and print it directly onto card stock.

See Kerchner's full post under \"Special Construction\". Attach a viewing window to each side of the board and place a football cutout above each one. 3) Playbooks. Use word processing software - adding a heading (i.e. \"Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Playbook\"), the team's logo, and six equations or \"plays\". Be sure to keep the margins, font sizes, and other document settings the same so that each playbook will fit the viewer window. Print, separate by teams by conference, and place in labeled envelopes.

Cover the entire board with light green background paper, then divide your board (across its entire length) into 18 sections of equal size, marking the spaces with small hash marks. Next, you'll need a section of darker green bulletin board paper (enough to cover half of your bulletin board). On this length of paper, measure out nine equal sections. [NOTE: Each of these nine sections should be the same size as a marked section on the bulletin board.] Use scissors to separate each strip of paper, then attach them to the board to create the striped appearance of a football field. Use a white paint pen to add the detailing - the yard lines, numbers, and hash marks. You should end up with a custom (handmade!) football field background that can be removed as a whole and used again!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"SUPER Students BOWL!\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003e No border is necessary, but if you have room around the edge (and won't cover up any of the numbers, etc.), consider adding a football- or sports-themed bulletin board border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1) Student Markers. Create football or helmet cutouts - one for each of your students. Freehand the objects or find a black and white clip art print through your word processing software or online to enlarge and trace. If you have plans to create teams, make sure you make the helmets two different colors. Use a black permanent marker to script each student's name onto a football-themed cutout. 2) The Scoreboard. Cut two large rectangles from black bulletin board paper. To make it seem like an authentic scoreboard, use yellow circle stickers to form the words \"Team 1\" and \"Team 2\" (or each team's name if they've been allowed to name themselves!). Since the scores will change throughout the unit\/month\/term, create removable score tiles. All you'll need to keep on hand are several squares of black construction paper and more yellow circle stickers to form the numbers and change them out as needed - adhering the score tile directly to the black rectangle \"scoreboard\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe love the idea of creating interactive boards to create a sense of teamwork, competition, and fun!

For example, in Japan, gifts - usually chocolate - are only given by the woman and there are two types of chocolate gifts - those of 'obligation' (given to bosses, father-in-laws, etc.) and those of 'true love' (given to boyfriends and spouses).  In Italy and Britain, it was believed that the first man an unmarried woman were to see on Valentine's Day (or a man that looks like him) would marry her within a year so it became tradition for unmarried women to be awakened before sunrise on February 14th in order to stand at their window and watch the men pass by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eValentine's Day Door Display\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow bulletin board paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The Many Languages of Love\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003eRed sparkle glitter bulletin board trimmer or Valentine's Day themed border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1) The Three-Dimensional Heart.

Crumble pieces of recycled newspaper or purchase quilt\/comforter batting from your local craft store, using it to stuff the heart cutout, then glue\/staple the other side of the heart to the door display. The staples can then be covered by outlining the heart with red glitter. 2) The Conversation Hearts. Create a card stock template using it to trace and cut conversation hearts from various colors of construction paper. Use markers to script common candy phrases onto the hearts (i.e. \"Be Mine\", \"You're Cool\", \"Love\", etc.). Use an online translator to translate the phrases into several foreign languages and script these onto heart cutouts as well. The matches should be placed side by side on the board.

As it's name might suggest, this integral part of the freedom movement that helped transport escaped slaves from the Southern States to the North, was neither underground nor a set of physical train tracks. It was, in fact, a network of people - other slaves, free blacks, and white abolitionists - that risked their lives, resources, and freedom to aid slaves in search of a new life. Secrecy was key for all involved and there were many risks, as well as barriers, to contend with. One obstacle - and not even the most perilous - was the literacy barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it was against the law to teach a slave to read or write, those involved in the Underground Railroad had to create codes that would transcend the literacy barrier. Memorized symbols, spirituals, code phrases\/words, etc. offered a means of communication between slaves and those who worked to aid them. These codes, unknown to slave owners, provided secrecy and a way to pass messages, warnings, and instructions. Many historians believe that these codes were hidden in quilts, a common household item that would not draw attention, and today call them freedom quilts because of their role in helping many escape the bonds of slavery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFreedom Quilts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love this display created by Molly and her students over at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.lessonswithlaughter.com\/2012\/02\/freedom-quilt-and-freebie.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eLessons with Laughter\u003c\/a\u003e.

Find black and white images of important historical figures and symbols - Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Memorial, etc. To make the images bulletin board ready, you could: Use a poster maker to enlarge and print, take the images to your local office supply store and have them create posters, or {if you're brave!} use  your classroom projector system to enlarge and trace the images onto white bulletin board paper - going over the drawn lines with a black permanent marker. Arrange the enlarged images around the bulletin board, creating a speech bubble or caption strip from white bulletin board paper for each image, and writing a fact in each. [NOTE: You could also use legal sized printer paper and a comic book font - like this one at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.dafont.com\/comic-book.font\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eDaFont.com\u003c\/a\u003e - to create captions\/bubbles similar to the original board.] 2) The Airplane. To create the airplane {that's part of the title}, we suggest checking out one of the these 3D paper airplane templates from \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.paper-model-airplane.com\/collection\/p-51-mustang\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003ePaper Model Airplane\u003c\/a\u003e. Print the black and white version so you can color the design as desired, then assemble. Since you need a flat side to attach to the bulletin board, you'll only need to color\/assemble the wing, tail stabilizer, and wheel for one side. Once added to the board, cut two pieces of yarn or string to connect the title banner to the airplane!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734175817753,"sku":"A1619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/PresDayBB01.jpg?v=1522782124"},{"product_id":"read-me-maybe-february-library-bulletin-board-display-a1621","title":"Read Me Maybe! - February Library Bulletin Board Display","description":"\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-6461\" alt=\"Valentine's Day Library Bulletin Board Idea\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Library-Valentines-Day-Bulletin-Board.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: Erica Nunez\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe had to interrupt our President's Day line-up to share this adorable February themed library bulletin board sent in by Erica Nunez, creator\/designer at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/digipapergirl.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eDigiGirl Paper Crafts\u003c\/a\u003e and talented parent volunteer at Miami Lakes K-8 Center.
