My Classroom

I thought that I would use this page to post some of my bulletin board ideas and pictures of bulletin boards that I have used in the past. I hope that you enjoy them!

Here are some boards that I used during the 2007-2008 school year and I just added pictures of current bulletin boards that I just put up for the 2008-2009 school year:

U is for United States Bulletin Board

This was the cute DJ Inker Color Car board that I had above the sink

This was the reading board and classroom library from my class last year

This is the author board that we had for Open House when I taught first grade in 2006. The caterpillar was a whole class project.

This was the door decoration from my first grade classroom in Feb. 2006

This was the author board for Jan Brett. I made a giant mitten out of felt and placed all of my stuffed animals inside. Many of the stuffed animals are characters from books, so my students that this was just hilarious. I made this board in 2006 when I taught first grade.

This is the winter bulletin board that I made when I taught first grade in 2006.

This was the door decoration, and I placed students’ pictures inside of the portholes.

We made paper plate killer whales, handprint octopi & crabs and watercolored seahorses and starfish.

This was the view from the door from Open House 2005 when I taught first grade. Students painted their own ocean animals and we also included torn paper art fish.

These are made from paper plates. The bottom paper plate is painted blue. Then you cut out a circle from the top board. Students glued tissue paper strips to make sea weed and stuck ocean stickers. These looked really cool!

Ocean themed math word problems.

Ocean reports and story summaries

This was the door decoration. Students made handprint jaguars.

This is the view from the Kapok tree.

This is a close-up of the tissue paper butterflies that students made.

This was the back board within the classroom. There were monkeys, hand/footprint birds and butterflies on display. The writing is students rain forest reports.

This is another close-up of their rain forest reports. I typed the reports so they would be easier to read, but included the originals underneath.

These are their jungle math story problems.

This was our seed experiment. We placed a seed with a wet sponge inside of a Ziploc bag to see if it would grow.
