Door Decorating Contest: Read Across America

For our school's door decorating contest, the children drew pictures of where they like to read. They drew them on geckos which is our school's mascot.

Door Decorating Contest: Reading

We used the letters from a Creative Teaching Press pack from Dollar Tree. The students found their favorite book and tried to copy the cover as best they could. They came out really cute!

Hats off to a New Year

This will be a January bulletin board. The students will each choose a hat and write their name and 2010 on the hat. On a separate sheet of paper, they will write something they wish to learn in 2010.

Non Fiction/Fiction Bulletin Board

These will be the headings for our Nonfiction/Fiction Bulletin Board. Under each title will be an iceberg. As we read stories about penguins, polar bears, and snow, we will write the title of the book on a penguin, polar bear, or snowflake, and then post it on the correct iceberg. I will update once the bulletin board is up.

Thanksgiving Bulletin Board

Students told me what they were thankful for to make this paper quilt. Then we added the paper bag turkeys with pattern leaves.

Batty About School

We worked on bats a lot in October. We read Stellaluna and other nonfiction books about bats. We used the numbered bats to practice number sequencing.

Too Cute Too Spook Bulletin Board

This bulletin board has mosaic pumpkins with the student's photographs. The bats are made from handprints, pompoms, and googly eyes.
