First Quarter Bulletin Boards

School starts in LESS THAN A WEEK .  I don't feel ready, but my room is!  I am a firm believer in appearing organized, no matter how unorganized you are behind the scenes.  No one will know!

Here's a preview of my bulletin boards this quarter.  I've got a few of the PDFs up on here. . . they're free, my friends!  I will eventually start a shop on the Teachers Pay Teacher's site but, until I get off my duff, you can get them free! (As always, please don't sell this stuff.  It's my work and the ideas may be mine or I may have taken inspiration from someone else.  It's not fair to me an not fair to them if you sell it.)

This is my word cloud.  I took some time and made it in Word.  I sent it to our copy shop to enlarge.

This is my version of the class rules this year.   I will probably have one other version of my rules and rotate them through the years.  CLASS RULES

I have some HUGE walls with no real bulletin boards.  I end up stapling the borders directly to the wall and creating my own bulletin boards.  This one is on one half of my big wall. CURSOR(1)  CURSOR(2)

This is the second half of my big wall.  Close ups below. . .  (PDFs available!!).  The Mouse Control one is a little different than what I printed. . . notice my mistake?  The last one should say OPEN instead of Select.  I fixed it in the download I put below the posters and fixed it on my wall.  That's what I get for not proofreading close enough!

 My other big wall has my all time favorite bulletin board on it.  This is my shortcut tree!

And close ups of this. . . .

 

Our school plays host to a family of barn owls every summer so I added an owl to our tree.

 The nest was printed as black and white on brown cardstock.  I used a nest clipart from Word.

This big ol' board is on the wall outside my lab.  This was the easiest of all because I used pieces from a few different pre-fab bulletin boards.  

This massive one is in the laptop lab.  It takes up an entire wall.  I have PDFs of the companies and their blurb for you!  MADE IN AMERICA

I researched the companies and put pins in the city that the companies' headquarters are located.

The other side of the laptop lab has this:

The iPod measures over three feet tall and about four and a half feet wide.  They are HUGE!    I will have PDFs of the apps up.  APPS

That's it for this quarter!  I have a lot more in the works, including those cute turned menacing bugs I made.  Give me a few days but I will eventually get up the PDFs of some of these up.
