Oh, bulletin boards...a love/hate relationship. I love doing bulletin boards, but sometimes things get so hectic it becomes tough to change them every month. With that being said, I am pretty lucky because I don't have an actual bulletin board, I have these metal strips that hold student work. It's nice because when I don't have time to get real creative, I can just slip some recent student work into the strips. The part that stinks, is that when I want to do something fun and festive I have to get out 20 pounds of sticky-tac and adhere everything to the wall. This month we have been really focusing on identifying fiction and nonfiction. This is a tough concept, but we have been having a lot of fun learning with songs, center activities and much more. We decided to showcase some of this work in the hallway with the help of a few snowy friends. Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry, but you get the idea :)
My son is obsessed with Frozen and I haven't been able to get the songs out of my head all week! "Do you want to build a snowman?" My students love the movie as well so I just had to find a way to get Olaf up on that wall. I love hearing the kids freak out when they walk by him in the hallway, I even caught a little girl hugging the wall yesterday haha. So cute!
The student work displayed consists of various pages from our nonfiction retelling books and a sorting page for pictures of books we cut out of Scholastic Book Club magazines. You can check out these products for more fiction and nonfiction fun!
Lindsay: I just found you today from the TPT forums and I became a follower. It's so funny that you should mention Frozen. The kids kept talking about it in my kindergarten class, so I told them to summarize the story for me. They told me there's a snowman named O-Love. My kids are mostly ESOL kids, so that's what I thought they were saying. So I was kind of surprised when I found out his name was actually Olaf! Anyway, I've now seen the movie with my husband, and I go around saying "I like warm hugs!", and he says "Some people are worth melting for." :)
