To construct the border, use a black permanent marker to draw a curly line around the edge of the display, then staple or tape the bulbs on the \"string\".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We're assuming that Megan used a personal cutting machine to create the cute cutout. If you don't -have access to such a machine, here's how we would go about creating it. Cut a large teardrop shape from brown background paper to create the body. For the legs, cut four long strips of brown paper, attaching them to the body cutout and adding hooves - four trapezoids, with a small 'accent' triangle cut out of the bottom, cut from black construction paper. As for the head, we would suggest freehanding the shape onto brown bulletin board paper or finding a clip art image online to enlarge, trace onto paper, cut and assemble. {You can find a similar look with this cutesy reindeer sale poster template we found over at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stocklayouts.com\/Templates\/Sale-Poster\/Reindeer-Snowflakes-Sale-Poster-Template-Design-XX1121301.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eStock Layouts\u003c\/a\u003e.} Use black construction paper to create the antlers, black and white construction paper for the eye detailing, and red construction paper to create the reindeer's nose.
