Bulletin Board Ideas

I have a love/hate relationship with bulletin boards. I hate how long it takes to put them up. I hate how sweaty I get doing it. I hate how I never ever seem to get enough butcher paper to cover the entire board the first time. I hate how despite the fact that I've threatened to cut their fingers off, my students still touch the board, lean on the board, and pull things off of the board.

But there are parts I love. I love coming up with ideas and creating the different pieces. I love sitting back and admiring the results of my hard work. I love watching my students look at the board every day and practice their Spanish.

Here are my creations from this year.


Bilingual manners board - August 2014


Flamenco - Hispanic Heritage Month 2014


Feelings and body parts - Winter 2014



 Days of the week and food - Winter/Spring 2015

    For the flamenco bulletin board, how did you make the skirt?

      Small strips of butcher paper balled up and stapled on. I just kept balling up paper and sticking it on until it looked the way I wanted it.

      Hi! I'm not the best artist either. I searched the internet for clipart and then projected it on my smart board, taped a piece of butcher paper over it and traced it. Hope that helps!
