Interactive Bulletin Boards

Crafty Hand Print Quilts 

Bulletin Boards for Daily Interactive Learning

Pictures are put up in an ABAB pattern and could be used to Count by Twos.

Each bulletin board uses hand prints that could be used to Count by Fives.

The Winter Bulletin Boards start to have stories that the children have written and inviting everyone to read eachother's writing.

The artistry of turning the individual pictures into a quilt evokes the way the class works together to create a united society.

Crafty Quilts

Each month Ms. Kimberly's Kindergarteners have fun using hand prints to create "crafty quilts." At the end of the month, these special quilt pieces are placed in the children's kindergarten memory books.

In week 1 they draw a picture of themselves on an apple cut-out. The next day they learn a song called "At the Apple Tree" and they take turns putting their apples on the apple tree in your room.

100th Day of School

"100th Day of School" project

Ben's class is having a "100th Day of School" Party on Friday. Their project of the week was to collect 100 things to bring to school. We came up with the display idea together. It was so fun. The "sand" is sesame seeds. :) And I was quite impressed with Ben's groupings & cou

Fishing for a Good Book 

Interactive Bulletin Board that recommends a Great Book

We made a similar bulletin board but hung more fishing poles from the ceiling and let the children write the names of their favorite books on paper cutout fish. The fish could be removed and taken to the library by children looking for a great book to read.

First Lines of Books Bulletin Board 

To make this Bulletin Board interactive, have children add quote from their favorite books to the board. They write the name of the book on the back so that others will know which book to read if that quote intrigues them.

The next child who reads that book gets to write their name on the back and the book with the most names after a certain amount of time gets a classroom celebration where students dress as characters in the book and other activities that day relate to the book.

First Lines Bulletin Board

I love doing bulletin boards to promote books. This was an "interactive" bulletin board. The first line of the book was on the front cover - you lift the flap to see the book title and author. My favorite first line: "Countess Judith kept her husband's head in a box." From "

Simple Machines Bulletin Boards 

This bulletin board invites children to come up and try out the different simple machines. When children are able to interact with objects that demonstrate the concept being taught they are better able to grasp the idea and later on use that information in other situations.

This is an interactive bulletin board I made during my Junior Block. The unit was Simple Machines.

Birthday Fruits Bulletin Board 

1. Prepare the bulletin board with columns for the twelve months.

2. Ask each student to bring a cut out of a fruit that is available in the month of their birthday and write their name and birth date in it.

A good resource to find seasonal fruits and vegetables classified by state is The Sustainable Table.

3. Pin each cut out in the column of that month.

4. To make it more interactive you can use the data to make up mathematical word problems or give it a more game-like twist with a month die.

A good resource to find dice and game pieces is Great Hall Games.

Homeschooling Interactive Bulletin Board 

Most of the ideas here adapt well for homeschooling families. The bulletin board above becomes a daily review of math skills by Counting the fingers by fives, keeping track of the days to reinforce Place Value and a place to post stories that could be used to search for phonics conventions.

Recycled Art Bulletin Board 

One year I started a Frog Pond Theme on the bulletin board but got interrupted before I had a chance to add all the lily pads and Cat-O'-Nine tails. I had left all the materials out along with the scissors and stapler.

When center time came the children spread out across the room to work. What a surprise when I saw two children had taken up the task of finishing the bulletin board. Ever since that day I have always had helpers.

Bulletin Boards can be made from recycled art work. After the children have finished displaying their art work have them add it to the recycle box. Whenever you start a new bulletin board use pieces of paper from the recycle box, cut them to shape and soon the art work has turned into a new masterpiece.

Butterfly World

Activity: Students were given symmetrical butterfly halves and worked together to find the matching pair of wings. Facts were written on each set of wings to help students gather information about butterflies. Following are some of the butterfly facts we covered:
