How I do my Bulletin Boards!!! #2getherWeAreBetter

Hello everyone. Welcome to my first OFFICIAL post! I'm so excited to be linking up with Schroeder Shenanigans in 2nd and Lucky Little Learners for the #2getherWeAreBetter BULLETIN BOARDS linky! In this post I will take you into my classroom and show you my Bulletin Boards. CAUTION: They are NOT complete yet. I'll add content once my students arrive and get their little hands busy LOL. Hope you enjoy! 

Room Inspiration: These colors and patterns are what inspired the color scheme for my room this year. The blue is very calming and the yellow helps to stimulate the brain. They work very well together. The black and white patterns break up the colors a little bit. I think this makes for a great classroom color scheme and learning environment. 

When you enter my room, the first thing you see is my HUMONGOUS Teacher Desk (wish I could get rid of it & have an extra Small Group table). You also see my Promethean Board (not pictured).  I wanted something to grab the students attention and immediately make them feel a sense of belonging. The front of my desk is now our "We Are Family" board. During Open House I will take a picture of each student with their family. Ill add those pictures to the board. I'll also be adding a small rug and pillows in front of it. The students will be able to come to this area anytime they miss home! I've been doing this for a few years now and it's always a big success.  

                                   

This "Wow Work" board is in the Writing Center. It will display student writing. I hate that the paper is wrinkled, but you won't see the wrinkles once I put the laminated sheets of paper on it. Each sheet of paper will have a clothespin on it. It'll be easy interchanging their work throughout the year. I'll be changing the title of this board to "Wow Writing".  

This "Dynamic DATA" board is in the Computer Center. It will be turned into a big Bar Graph. It will display my students growth on assessments throughout the year. The Bar Graph will include each content area, number of students assessed and their progress. Their names will not be listed, for confidentiality reasons. 

This "Wow Work" board is in the Dramatic Play Center. It will be set up just like the "Wow Writing" board. It'll display student work samples.

This is the "Seasons" board. It's in the Library/Listening Center. During each season, we will do studies/investigations. The students will read stories about that season and create pictures to represent the season. They'll  be displayed here. The books will be added to this center before the kiddos arrive. 

This "Concept Board" is beside the Library/Listening Center. It will display our units, objectives, standards and I Can Statements. Student work samples will also be displayed with each objective and I Can Statement. This board will be changing weekly and monthly, depending on the unit and activity. I'll be adding a big check mark at the end of the title on this board. :)

This board is in the Art Center. It will be titled "Amazing Art". The students will be making various art activities throughout the year. Those activities will be displayed here. 

These cabinets will be our "Word Wall". You can barely see the letters on this picture.  As we learn new words, they'll be added under each letter. Environmental prints will also be under each letter.

This is the continued "Word Wall".

   

This is the "Birthdays Board". I got this product from Ashley (That's So Second Grade) on Teachers Pay Teachers. You should check out her store! I'll add a photo to each month. The photo will be a picture of the students whose birthday is in that month. They'll be holding a sign with their birth date on it. Look over the messy counter LOL.

                           

Thanks for checking out my Bulletin Boards. I'll be posting a Classroom Reveal soon, once my room if complete. Make sure you visit some of the other teachers blogs who are a part of this linky. :)
