For a classroom happenings board, write events, dates, and times on each individual egg.

Mrs. Naylor added a joke \"skillet\" where the class got \"all cracked up\". This could be a great way of giving the students a \"silly\" break between particularly hard lessons.

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.

Use a marker to create the illusion that the squares have been 'stitched' together. 2) The Plates. Use your students' creations! 3) The Details. Consider adding construction paper cutouts of ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, etc. - drawing them freehand or finding images online to trace or print directly onto colored paper {to print, the image must be in black and white}.

Measure and string a piece of yarn between the two \"poles\", threading the ends through the pre-punched holes and tying them in a knot. For visual interest, leave some slack in the string to create a curved look. 2) The Manipulatives. Create manipulatives {neck ties, flip flops, t-shirts, etc.} from construction paper or 'lightweight' scrapbook paper. The goal is to keep the manipulatives as light as possible. If making the display interactive, write or paste the appropriate information to each, then clip the manipulatives to the \"clothesline\" using wooden or plastic clothespins. 3) The Finishing Touches.

Also known as the Festival of Lights, the celebration is observed with the lighting of a special candelabrum called a Hanukkah menorah. At the beginning of the festival, observers use a 'helper candle', called the shamash, to light the leftmost candle, then add one additional light on each night of the holiday, commemorating the eight day purification ritual performed by their ancestors as well as the miracle of the oil. Along with the menorach, the dreidel is another common festival symbol {and game played by families!} that also commemorates the miracle of the oil; the four Hebrew letters on them stand for the saying, “\u003cem\u003eNes Gadol Haya Sham,\u003c\/em\u003e” meaning “a great miracle occurred there.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're celebrating the festival or simply inviting your students to explore the traditions and symbols of this winter festival, we invite you to check out these bulletin boards from \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/oblockbooksblog.wordpress.com\/2012\/11\/26\/free-hanukkah-classroom-displays\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eO'Block Books\u003c\/a\u003e!

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.
