Keys to creating a successful bulletin board
1. Choose an idea that relates to material currently being covered in the classroom.
2. Make sure the bulletin board has a strong sense of interest and relevance to students.
3. Steer away from pre-made materials. Instead let your own personality work its way out through the bulletin board.
4. If possible, make the bulletin board 3D.
5. Allow students to contribute to the creation. Or post student work as part of the bulletin board.

| Category: Christmas |
| Rating: 5 stars |
| Preparation Time: 2 hours |
| Instructions: I wanted the board to be three dimensional, colorful, with some hand-made items, and with Bible verses telling about God's greatest gift. For the manger, I used a placemat made of bamboo with tinsels as hay. The manger was then surrounded with gifts of different sizes and colors. Some of the gifts were made by one of my 8th grade students. A big Christmas stocking was also placed on one side of the board decorated with paper cut-outs printed with Bible verses about the three gifts: myrrh, frankincense, and gold. A 10th grade student made Christmas ornaments that have the pictures of the three gifts. |

| Instructions: Create an elf and a series of presents. Those in this picture have been laminated. Then write on the presents various tasks that students can do that relate to Christmas. This is a great bulletin board as it not only portrays Christmas items, it also engages students to think about the tasks written on each present. For example, one present reads "List as many Chrstmas songs as you can." This allows students to remember Christmas songs that they enjoy and it also excersizes their memory skills. |

| Instructions: To make this bulletin board, I bought a “juke box” bulletin board set. Then, I took records and their sleeves from my files and attached them to the board. I used Southern Gospel records, but you can use any of your choice.
This can be used as a creative writing assignment by having the children compare and contrast how music is today from the past. It can also be used to display student’s writings, drawings, etc. with the title “#1 hits”. |

| Instructions: To create this bulletin board, the teacher must first create silhouettes of each child. This can be done using construction paper and an overhead projector. Simply have the students stand in the light of the projector and then trace their outline on the construction paper.
Next, allow students to clip pictures from magazines that describe them. For instance, if a student enjoys football he may clip a picture of a football field. Finally, students will glue their pictures to their silhouettes. To ad interest for parents, let parents guess which child is their own. |

| Instructions: Create a 3D tree using crumpled and rolled bulletin board paper. Next create a scene using premade or self-created material. Next, cut our leaves of varying colors to place upon the 3D tree. This creates the basis of your bulletin board.
To ad the science element use leaves that explain what is happening to the tree. Example: one leaf may read, the green of the leaf is chlorophyll. Another leaf may explain why the leaves turn color. Still another leaf may explain what a tree does during the winter. You can use as many leaves as you wish to explain the entire process. |
