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.

Just like the board title, we would use word processing software to print label banners using a fun font and cutesy border. 2) The Sun. While Mrs. Carroll used purchased cutouts {which is certainly a viable option if the proper size can be found}, you could also opt for a homemade version. Using yellow and orange liquid watercolor paints, paint a large sheet of watercolor paper, blending the colors till the entire sheet is colored. Set aside to dry. This will create the perfect paper from which to cut your sun. Freehand or find a clip art image online to enlarge and trace onto the paper, first using a pencil, then tracing over the lines with a black permanent marker. Use the marker to add other details if desired. [NOTE: If you have the proper projector system, you might even be able to enlarge and trace the sun image from Mrs. Carroll's original poster.] 3) The Cloud. Like the sun, use shades of blue and purple liquid watercolor paints on a large sheet of watercolor paper to create the perfect 'cloud' paper. Draw or trace the shape of a cloud, outlining the cutout with black permanent marker and adding other details {if desired}. From the scraps, or a newly created piece of paper, cut and outline various sized water\/rain drops. 4)The Waves. Create a wave cutout from card stock using it and a blue washable marker to create a wave border along the bottom of the display. Add swirls, curls, and other details to the waves with the marker as well. 5) The Arrows. Cut three large arrows from red construction or background paper. Once arranged on the board, use a permanent marker to draw a dashed border around each.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupplies for this bulletin board...\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/p-6357-art-kraft0174-paper-rolls-white.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eWhite bulletin board paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-232-watercolor-paint.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eLiquid watercolor paint\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-76-paper-for-crafts-poster-board.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eWatercolor paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-231-markers-highlighters.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eBlack permanent marker\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/p-5995-sunworks0174-holiday-red-construction-paper-9-x-12.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eRed construction paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-102-markers.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eWashable Markers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile simple, the detailing really makes this design pop!

Create leaf cutouts from various shades of green construction paper. Freehand the leaves or find and print templates onto card stock to trace and cut. 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.

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.

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.
