Visit NFL.com to download copies of the logos for each conference as well as each team in the playoffs, printing them onto card stock. Attach each conference logo to a card stock football and attach to the board. Cut and laminate the individual team logos, separate them into conferences, and create a labeled envelope to store each set. Attach the envelopes at the bottom of the board. 2) The Viewing Windows. 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. Attach the envelopes at the bottom of the board. 4) The Details. Add some festive star cutouts around the title, etc. to complete the board!

From brown background paper, trace and cut the shape of a tree trunk, using brown or black markers to add 'bark-like' detailing. Cut generalized\/non-specific bunches of leaves from construction paper or card stock in various shades of green {the bunches can look like cloud cutouts, misshapen circles, etc.}. Using a green marker, draw or trace actual leaf shapes haphazardly on the green foliage cutouts. Place the trunk in the middle of the board and arrange the 'leaves' around the top. 2) The Blossoms\/Fruit. Many fruit trees blossom in the spring, ripen during the summer months, and are harvested in the fall. For your spring\/summer board, consider adding a mixture of blossoms and maturing fruits so your students make the life cycle connection. For example, to create an apple tree; cut 5-inch squares of white art tissue paper {adding some iridescent white glitter detailing if desired}, gathering and twisting the middle to create apple blossoms, then cut 4-inch circles of red construction paper, adding one or two green leaf cutouts to each to create maturing apples. On the paper apples, script or use word processing software to label them with the various topics, character traits, and concepts to be explored in the spring unit {i.e. perseverance, plant life cycle, etc.}. Arrange both the blossoms and fruit cutouts on the tree.
