Find your new students photos from last year and use a photo printer to enlarge them. Cut them out and fill the train car windows. 4) The Conductor.

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.

Tinney and Armentrout decided not to include the crayon \"window\" because they wanted it to appear as if the box were tipped on its side and all the crayons had fallen out. Green bulletin board paper and traceable letters work great for the Crayola label at the top or you could use green tempera paint to script the letters by hand. Red and white construction paper work great for the rest of the box labels. Once again, you could also choose to use white paint on red paper to create customer lettering. 2) The Name Crayons. Create a crayon template from card stock. Trace the shape onto assorted colors of card stock or construction paper using a black permanent marker or paint to create the detailing. You might also be able to find a black and white clip-art print online or through your word processing software that could then be printed onto colored card stock then cut out.

You'll need to plan ahead of time what color jersey each student will have so that you can follow the following color pattern when printing their names\/numbers: white lettering on blue jerseys, blue lettering on red jerseys, and red lettering on white jerseys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe directions may seem a bit complicated, but if you ever lose track of the correct color patterns, refer to the picture of Mr. Cayer's board.

To create depth, add a small curved piece of white construction paper to the 'inside' of the needle loop (you may need to reference Sue May's cutout for this step). Cut a thin wavy strip from blue construction paper, 'threading' it through the loop of the needle to look like thread. To make it appear as if the needle has pierced the background, cut a small section from the cutout, mounting the separated needle to the board as if the section were still intact. The missing section will appear to be behind the paper. 2) The Buttons. Cut medium-size circles from assorted colors of construction paper. Additionally, cut quarter-sized circles from black construction paper. Arrange and glue the small black circles onto the larger circles or 'buttons' {in the middle, of course} - on some, glue two black circles side by side, and on others, glue four circles in a 'square' shape. Next, using the same color as before, create the illusion that the buttons have been sewn on by cutting thin strips of 'thread' from blue construction paper and arranging them atop the black 'button holes'. Rounding the edges and cutting slightly curved pieces will make it appear more authentic. Last, use a permanent marker to script student names on the buttons and mount them to the bulletin board.\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-9512-fadelessreg-paper-rolls-sunset-gold.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eSunset gold bulletin board paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/p-7860-playful-uppercase-lowercase-ready-letters-combo-packs-red-4.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eBulletin board letters\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuilted stars \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-135-bulletin-board-borders.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003ebulletin board border\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-63-construction-paper.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eConstruction paper\u003c\/a\u003e in assorted colors\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe're certain that this fantastic bulletin board design would be perfect  for any early childhood classroom, but we'd love to hear your thoughts  too!

Create an awning to attach to the top of the bulletin board by cutting a long, narrow trapezoid from white bulletin board paper and adding a scalloped edge to the bottom. Decorate as desired with markers or craft paint. We added colored stripes in magenta, orange, and light green. Cut a long strip of white bulletin board paper to attach along the bottom of the bulletin board. Once again, decorate as desired. 2) The Ice Cream Shack Sign. Cut a long, narrow rectangle from your choice of colored background paper. We decided to use white, adding a fun border to make it stand out, then added the first part of the title in a fun, loopy font. Attach this above the bulletin board. 3) The Windows. Cut two large squares from white bulletin board paper, using markers to add detailing. Use word processing software to create a sign or script \"Order Here\" and \"Pick-Up Here\" to the top of the windows. Mount these to the board - the \"order\" window on the left, the \"pick-up\" window on the right. 4) The Flavor Menu. Cut a large rectangle from white bulletin board paper {or another color of your choice}, using markers or craft paint to create a border. Use word processing software to create a sign or script the second part of the title \"The New Fall FLAVORS\" at the top. Using your student roster, create fun ice cream flavors from your kiddos names {i.e. Eddie's English Toffee Crunch}. Cut strips of colored paper, scripting each new \"flavor\" onto a strip and arranging them on the \"menu\". Hang the flavor menu between the \"order\" and \"pick-up\" windows.\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2297\" title=\"Ice-Cream-Shack-BBI-1\" alt=\"Ice Cream Back To School Bulletin Board Idea\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Ice-Cream-Shack-BBI-1.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThanks so much for stopping by!

Six fit perfectly on Jennifer's board, but make as many as you need! 2) The Attendance Boards. Find three brightly patterned metal serving trays at your local home store {or cover regular inexpensive cookie sheets\/baking trays with patterned scrapbook paper}, adding a label to each - \"Our Class\", \"Absent\", and \"Present\" - and attach these to the bulletin board. Create magnets from student pictures and place them on the \"Our Class\" tray.

Using a piece of brown background paper, find a clip art image online that can be enlarged and traced using your classroom projector system. Outline the cutout and add detailing with a black permanent marker or black craft paint. 2) The Sailors. We would also tackle this project using a clip art image and a projector system. Simply enlarge and trace the chosen images onto scraps of white bulletin board paper, then use craft paint in various colors to paint in the details. Be sure to outline the images with black. 3) The Name Cards. Purchase or create shape cutouts on which to script each of your students' names.

Use rolled up pieces of black construction paper or recycled paper towel rolls painted black to create the light fixtures. Cut strips of yellow cellophane, gluing them inside one end of each roll to create 'cones of light' or 'spotlights'. Mount them to the top corners of the board. To create the stage lights, cut two quarter-circles from yellow bulletin board paper and use scissors to cut zigzags along the rounded edge. Place one in each of the bottom corners of the board, just inside the curtains, to look like stage lights. [NOTE: You might also consider bunching up some yellow cellophane, attaching it to the lights, to create a textured\/3D look.] 2) The Director's Clapboard. Start with a sheet of black construction paper. Cut a 4-inch wide strip of white construction paper and use a black marker (or strips of black construction paper) to create a sideways chevron pattern. Cut the strip in half, creating two 2-inch wide strips and separating the chevron pattern at the point. Fit one of the strips to the top of the black construction paper, it will remain stationary. Place the second strip on top of the first, allowing the bottom of the second strip to overlap the top of first strip a little bit. Use a brad, painted black, to fasten the strips together on the left side. This will allow the second strip to move, creating a 'functioning' director's clapboard! To complete the cutout, write or print the classroom details onto a piece of white paper and attach it to the clapboard {see below}...\n\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-3978\" title=\"Red-Carpet-Welcome-BoardA\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Red-Carpet-Welcome-BoardA.jpg\" alt=\"Elementary Movie Theater Classroom Theme and Back To School Bulletin Board Idea\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: izzyshare.com | Leah Edington\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\nOur only suggestion might be to change \"Hollywood Production: Third Grade Stars\" into a title that incorporates your school name - i.e. \"A Uniontown Elementary Production: Third Grade Stars\". 3) The Stars.
