Classroom Bulletin Boards....

I am not sure why it has never occured to me before to post about my bulletin boards that I do for my kids school. I love the creativity that can come about. I love involving the kids with the boards. They seem to really enjoy seeing what new things can be created. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them...

This one is title "Cowboy Charm School". I went into the classroom and took photos of each child. I then gave them each a unique outlaw name like "David the Wild Mathwhiz". This is probably my favorite bulletin board I have ever done and it was easy.

I created shelves from old boxes (Costco). I then went to the dollar store and got solar flowers. You know the ones that move with the sunlight. The kids really loved this board. The title is "Teach me and Watch me Grow."

This one is titled "Look who's reading a good book!" Each owl is holding a book and it has each childs name on it.
Dr. Seuss, of course! Each child got a Dr. Seuss hat with a bookmark and a pencil. The title is a Dr. Seuss quote, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and
those who matter don't mind."
This snowglobe board is titled "Snow Much Fun!". I went in and had each of the kids paint a ornament to keep after the board came down.
This board is a giant crossword puzzle. Each clue is a unique clue about each child. They got to fill in their own name. The pages around it are pages from word game books from the dollar store. I left pens, pencils and highlighters on the board for all the kids from the school to get involved.

Hourly Calendar 2

Hourly Calendar 2

Ok I am becoming a little obsessed in trying to get organized. I am determined to figure out exactly what is going to work for me. I created this calendar that will help me in my business. I needed something that I can write hourly clients and their services/costs, etc. Maybe one of your guys out there will find it useful as well. You print it and then fold the page in half longwise and it becomes a slender calendar front and back. On the last page is a shopping list. At the bottom is a to do and a dinner spot. Just click the linky! Enjoy...

Last Minute Neighbor Gift

Hopefully you are more on top of the holiday rush than me. If you are not and have not gotten your neighbor gifts out yet here is another idea. The nice thing it is quick and easy. Go to the dollar store buy some measuring cups. Print out the Measure Up tag and punch a hole in it. Attach the tag to the circle that holds all of the cups together. Tie some ribbon on and you are done. It took me a total of one hour to do this...nice!

Happy Holidays!
