Planning a cowboy/western theme for the coming year? We love this welcome board created Vicky, second grade teacher over at Mrs. Moore's Busy Bees! The personalized wanted posters, complete with portrait and bio, are super cute and are a great way to showcase your new cowpokes students!

Western Themed Welcome Bulletin Board

  • Background: Black bulletin board paper.
  • Title: "WANTED! Cowpokes Who Love To Learn!"
  • Border: Red bandana trimmer.
  • Decoration: Purchase or create wanted posters using word processing software. [NOTE: In a previous post - Kindergarten's Most Wanted- we described how we went about making our own!] If you create your own, it will be easier to insert a short bio about each student - i.e. "Bailey loves dogs and can often be found at the dog park with her family's labrador, Bruno. Beware! May be armed with knowledge!" These bios can be collected during your back-to-school open house/'meet the teacher' night. Additionally, provide students with fun western themed props and have a photo shoot, printing the resulting images in sepia tone and adding them to the posters. Here's a closer look at Vicky's wanted posters...

    Arrange the wanted posters around the board, finishing off the themed board with sheriff badge accents labeled with student names. These can be purchased or cut from yellow/gold construction paper.
