Bulletin Board Ideas for Writing / Language Arts 2014-06-27
Postal Bulletin Board How about using the song "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a letter". You'll have to look up all the words on a lyrics site but: I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter. And make believe it came from you.You've got a homonym idea and writing a letter to yourself (the kid) can be fun. Bee Bulletin Board By: S. WindleMake a bee hive out of a large stuffed paper bag.Cut enough bees so that everyone in the class has a bee with his/her name on it. After spelling tests, those students who make 100 may move his/her bee to any location in the room. On Thursdays, all bees return to the hive. bulletin boards By: GiseleMs. _________'s class is WRITE ON with cut out pencils (should you be crafty, make pencils out of fun foam) with each student's name on it, as well as cut out Dalmatians with the caption...Look who's been spotted in grade___ or in Ms. _____'s class. Library Bulletin Board - Writing Techniques By: Robin PachtmanI set up a display on "Writer's Block." The theme focused around books on writing techniques and ideas to inspirational writing. The setting is several "blocks" of artificial golf grass. These are layered on a background of black paper which serves as the streets. I drew white lines with chalk on the black paper. I scanned in the book covers of books and printed them in color and set them up on the grass to look like houses. I also cut out a community of people and vehicles to put around the "neighborhood" from Word clipart. Vocabulary Bulletin Board By: Pat M.Kids feel so smart when they learn new words. Why not use the title from Dr. Seuss's book, Oh the Thinks You Can Think!, at the top of your board. If you have a board that you can spare for the year, all the better; you can make color coded word cards for science and social studies and 'splash' them all over the board. Make it interactive using sticky notes by having students predict meanings or categorizing words. The more they learn, the more "they" can add to your board. Best of all it will keep them focused on new vocabulary all year. Interactive Bulletin Board By: MicheleAn interactive bulletin board is one that the children can use to learn a specific task. For example, I have one with monkeys, since that is the animal name for my classroom, where the monkeys are sitting on a tree branch and their tails are hanging down. On the tummy of the monkey is a number and their tails have to hang to the correct number word. The children can self correct selves by looking on the back of the tail to see how many dots there are to make sure they have it at the correct word.
