Hi Pat! Thanks for stopping by. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the article. Bulletin boards are something I stressed about for years until I learned a few tricks to streamline the process. Can’t wait to check out your teaching blog!

I love the great ideas! I haven’t seen a post lately about bulletin boards so I enjoyed reading your suggestions. Bulletin boards can be such great learning tools.

Great ideas, Kristina! I really like the self directed “board of pride” idea for the older grades. Definitely removes the primary element and makes it more appropriate for the older students. Thanks for stopping by and sharing!

I love your ideas! I teach 7th grade math and need lots of ideas for great bulletin boards for older students. since your ideas were so good I thought i might share a few that worked for me.
I use wrapping paper! It is cheap, versatile, and comes in too many colors and designs to describe. the dollar store always has a ton of wrapping paper so have fun!
I also use at least a small part of one board to showcase accompishments of my students – they can write, draw, or bring oa picture about something they are proud of. I get some really great responses – sports, church activities, dance, other classes, family matters, even teaching pets to obey – lets them brag and isnt babyish in the least!
thanks!
