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.

Attach these to the center of your board - the triangle roof on top of the square house, and the rectangle chimney on either side of the triangle roof. From white craft paper, create windows and a door. Mrs. Wheeler rounded the tops, but you could also create regular square windows and rectangular door if that seems easier. Mount these cutouts onto dark brown craft paper, creating a \"wooden\" border, then use a brown marker to create the crisscross detailing on both windows and door. Position these cutouts on the house. From white bulletin board paper or crafting paper, create a \"snow\" border by cutting 3\" strips of paper and using scissors to scallop one edge. Fit these pieces around each side of the roof, under each window, and on top of the chimney. Finish off the gingerbread house by adding groupings of holly berries and leaves, winter mints (smaller versions of the crafts found \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/ideas\/1058\/have-a-sweet-christmas\/\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e), a large candy heart in the center of the house, and cotton ball \"chimney smoke\".

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.

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.

Mount the paper rolls to the bulletin board using craft glue and push pins {on the inside of the tubes} to anchor them in place on opposite ends of the display. 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.

Cover each of the tag board shapes with aluminum foil to make them look like wrapped Hershey kisses and mount a student's picture onto each. Add the candy tags, using block letters to label each with a student's name and coloring the letters in with a blue marker {reminiscent of an actual Hershey kiss candy}. 2) The Hearts. Create heart cutouts from watercolor paper or coffee filters. Invite students to use liquid water color paints to create vibrant patterns and swirls. When dry, mount the watercolor hearts onto construction paper in assorted Valentine's Day themed colors {red, pink, magenta, violet, etc}, cutting them out once more and leaving a border of colored paper. Arrange the hearts around the outside of the bulletin board. Or, as Mrs. Williams did, opt to use the hearts for a mini lesson on symmetry. Provide your kiddos with a white heart cutout inviting them to fold it in half, crease it well, and once opened, add drops of craft paint to one side of the fold. Instruct students to carefully refold the heart, gently pressing the two sides together.

Team B gets to go again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinue playing this way until the game is complete. Set a time for the game (it can be however long you'd like) and whichever team has scored the most touchdowns in the end wins the game!
