For a classroom happenings board, write events, dates, and times on each individual egg. If creating a welcome board, place a student's name at the top of each egg, add their picture from the previous school year, and create questions with blanks to be filled in by the student on the first day of class (e.g. \"My favorite color is ________\", \"I have ___ siblings\", \"My favorite subject is _______\", etc.). 2) The Extras. 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.

Here's how you can make your own exciting vocabulary display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWOW Words Bulletin Board\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black bulletin board paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"WOW Words!\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colorfully patterned trimmer, reading-themed bulletin border, complimentary solid colored bordette, or another bulletin board decoration of your choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1) The Literary Selections: At the beginning of the year, make and laminate a black and white print of each book your students will read throughout the school year. Place these around the outside edge of the board. As each unit is completed and each book is read, create vocabulary word labels and tape these to the literary selection they came from. 2) Exploring Vocabulary Section. Gather a piece of poster board or a large piece of bulletin board paper and a marker. Create a rectangular box in the middle of the paper. This will display the focus vocabulary word, then divide the poster board into four squares (be sure not to draw lines in the middle rectangle). At the top of each box, pen a different heading (e.g. \"Definition\", \"Picture\", \"Synonyms\" or \"Other Words\", and \"Connection\"). Cover the poster with clear contact paper and, paired with dry erase markers, you can use the same poster over and over again!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this board, students will be reminded of the various vocabulary words they've discovered throughout the year, parents entering the classroom will be able to see what books their child is reading, and the dynamic display will provide wonderful classroom decoration all year long!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo you have a special vocabulary word display for your classroom?

We are amazed at the creativity that went into making this lopsided birthday cake for the quirky author! Similar to creating a snowman, begin by cutting out each layer of the cake (a combination of rectangles and squares in various sizes) from white bulletin board paper. Next, create the \"icing\" decorations using the newly created cake pieces to make correct measurements. You'll need a 2\" strip of red construction or bulletin board paper with a scalloped edge for each layer as well as a 4\" strip of white construction or bulletin board paper with a curled fringe edge (fringed pieces should be 1\" wide and about 2\" long). While it may seem counter-intuitive, begin by assembling the cake's top layer first - adding the base, then attaching the detailing so that the red scalloped paper sticks out from beneath the curled white fringe. Attach the second and third layers the same way. 2) The Candles. Create birthday candles to add to each layer of the cake. Either create a traceable template from card stock or find a black and white clip art image that can be printed directly onto colored construction paper. Along with the small candles, fashion one large candle for the very top of the cake by cutting a toilet paper roll in half, decorating the outside with shiny blue paper (or painting it with metallic blue paint), and stuffing yellow cellophane or saran wrap into the top. 3) The Book Jackets. Decorate the rest of the board with Dr. Seuss book covers.

These can be attached to either side of the book cover. 3) The Critics. Have a student photo shoot, taking a head shot of each child to develop and use with the board. Keep the photos in a recycled plastic pamphlet display {mounted to the board under the book cover} labeled with \"Waiting for the Book\". Once the student has read the book, invite them to locate their picture and place it beneath the proper opinion heading. Since Beth's white board was magnetic, she attached a small magnetic strip to the back of each picture. Traditional boards are not magnetic, so consider finding some scrapbooking glue dots that will temporarily stick the photos to the board. Each week, as you change the book selection, just peel the glue dot off the back of the photo and place them back in the pamphlet holder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny activity that will get your students to invest in the book {even if the final outcome is a picture in the \"Dislike\" column} will assist in building reading skills, teach students about making comparisons, and help your kids to learn how to form and share their opinion.

Use markers to add detailing to the leaves. 2) The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The original caterpillar looks textured, but you could also make a simple cutout from background paper. Start with a full cutout of the caterpillar body {freehand it onto a piece of light green background paper or use your classroom projector system to enlarge and trace a clip art image}. Divide the cutout into sections (like those on the body of a caterpillar) and, using the book cover as a guide, plan which sections will be light green, dark green, and turquoise. Cut, trace, and replace the dark green and turquoise sections on the cutout, or fashion a piece of colored construction paper to be glued directly to the cutout. Create the caterpillar head {an oval with antennae cut from red paper} and add facial detailing - green and yellow circle eyes and a blue nose. Add some feet and your very hungry caterpillar is ready to be attached to the board. 3) The Extras. The original creator filled in the extra spaces with other critters and 'twigs'. Add some construction paper ladybug, butterfly, worm, and other colorful cutouts where needed.

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.

You can put it up at the beginning of spring and, with simple changes, can tailor it to suit the various holidays that come along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a Concept\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePatterning.\u003c\/em\u003e Create solid color, or even patterned manipulatives from scrapbook or crafting paper, inviting your student to clip them onto the clothesline using various simple and complex patterning sequences - AB\u003cem\u003eAB\u003c\/em\u003e, ABC\u003cem\u003eABC\u003c\/em\u003e, AAB\u003cem\u003eAAB\u003c\/em\u003e, ABB\u003cem\u003eABB\u003c\/em\u003e, AABB\u003cem\u003eAABB\u003c\/em\u003e, and ABCD\u003cem\u003eABCD\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSequencing.\u003c\/em\u003e Using a story you've been studying or a scientific cycle, paste a picture or a short description of each main event\/step and invite your students to place these in the correct sequence.

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.

Find a black and white clip art image of the Cat's hat, using your classroom projector system to enlarge and trace the image onto white bulletin board paper. For a bold, solid color, paint the stripes with red craft paint and (when dry!) use a black permanent marker to outline the shape and add detailing. 2) The Seuss Inspired Flower. We love how the original designer created flowers inspired by the quirky world of Seuss. We suggest freehanding simple flowers onto white bulletin board paper then using vibrant paints to create stripes, etc. Once again, outline and add detailing with a black permanent marker. 3) The Book Accents. Print colorful pictures of your favorite Seuss characters, using a circle template to cut them out, and add them around the bulletin board.

To create a true curtain feel, use yarn or a piece of painter's tape to gather and tie the pieces off to the side. 3) The House.

Cut two simple \"chairs\" from red bulletin board paper, then use your classroom projector system and clip art images {found online} to trace character shapes - Dick and Sally - onto black bulletin board paper.

Cut the train engine shape from brown bulletin board paper (a simple rectangle with a square on top), cutting a window and adding a rectangle smokestack, a cow pusher (the grate on the front of the train), and wheels to the cutout. Think of a fun name for your train. Lori used \"Bubbles \u0026amp; Bunnytails EXPRESS\" because the display was located in the hallway and that was the procedure that students followed when going places - catch a \u003cem\u003ebubble\u003c\/em\u003e in your mouth (ensures quiet) and make a \u003cem\u003ebunnytail\u003c\/em\u003e (ensures that students keep their hands behind their backs, not touching other students or things in the hallway). For a finishing touch, cut puffs of smoke from white construction or background paper. To go along with the reading theme, you might also consider adding a cutout of the Cat's hat to the smokestack like Lori did. It adds a nice pop of color and is a great Dr. Seuss accent! 2) The Train Cars. Use 9\" x 12\" sheets of construction paper in assorted colors to create the train cars. Add a brown stripe, as well as a student's name, to each train car. It looks like Lori used the letter negatives created using a personal cutting\/die cut machine, but you could also use letter stickers. Add wheels to each car and connect them using pieces of brown yarn. To go along with the reading theme, add copies of book covers to each train car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734142001177,"sku":"A1300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/Reading-Takes-You-Places.jpg?v=1522781918"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/collections\/Interactive-Word-Wall1.jpg?v=1530027841","url":"https:\/\/www.supplyme.com\/collections\/language-arts-bulletin-board-ideas\/theme-sports.oembed","provider":"SupplyMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
