Spring Bulletin Board Idea!!! (Taken from DLTK-Teach.com)
I am a Pre-K teacher. For Spring I did a progressive bulletin board. I put up grass made w/ construction paper cut to look like grass. I also added clouds made from stuffing and a tissue paper sun. I added a park sign "Please stay off the grass. signed the Park Ranger, Ms. Karen."
As we learned about "spring" we added flowers made w/ "rainbow colored rice
" we added raindrops from the clouds. We made kites. We added frogs from paper plates and caterpillars from egg cartons
. We are in the process of adding butterflies
and I haven't decided which ones yet. The confetti butterflies, paper plate/toilet paper butterflies, marshmallow painted ones, etc.
This project makes the school/parents look for the new items. It can cover April (showers), kites
from the wind, May (flowers
), the week study of caterpillars and butterflies
. This saves time of changing each month and week. We display all work each week in class and put our special items (chosen by the children) on the bulletin board.
I am very pleased. I call this my progressive bulletin board and Spring is great for it.
