Anytime Bulletin Board Ideas

Reading Is a Blast
Have a "Reading Is a Blast" Bulleting board. In the center of the board, have a picture of a rocket. After students have completed books, they may write their names and the titles of the books on precut planets, stars, or astronauts and attach them to the board.
Magazine Resources
Display magazine or newspaper pictures when you find a spread is appropriate for a subject you are studying. Mount pictures on construction paper, write captions or titles on contrasting construction paper strips, and arrange all on a colorful background. Hint: Buy two copies so you can display both sides. Be sure to store the pictures and captions for use another year.
Coming Soon
Pique students curiosity and anticipation in your classroom with a "Coming Soon" bulletin board. In the center, prepare a marquis in a frame that features the new topic or event and presents interesting information about the upcoming unit. Surround the frame with relevant objects, pictures, etc. Place a manila envelope in a corner of the bulleting board of leave a shoebox near it for students to deposit cards containing questions that they may wish to ask or learn about the topic. When you are ready to begin the unit, you students will be prepared and eager as well.
End of the year
Have students color their own popcorn while you draw a popcorn box then arrange the popcorns with the names of the students as if they were inside the box and also some out. Write on the box Popping into ___ grade.
