November Bulletin Board IdeasPoetry is Like a Feast for the Mind I did this board as a follow up to a unit on similes and metaphors in a
fifth grade class. I had the students write a short simile/metaphor
poem about their favorite Thanksgiving food on a circle sized to fit
inside small paper plates. I then cut out the circles and glued them to
small Thanksgiving paper plates I bought at a dollar store. I used
large pieces of construction paper to make place mats, which I had the
children decorate with Thanksgiving stickers and stamps. I hot-glued
the plates, along with plastic utensils and paper napkins and paper
cups to the place mats to create individual table settings. I
decorated the bulletin board to look like a table by covering it with a
paper Thanksgiving theme tablecloth (I let the bottom edges hang down
like a real table cloth would.) Then I arranged the place mats around
the edge of the bulletin board so that it looked like a real table
setting. In the center I put larger paper plates with pictures of
holiday food cut from magazines on them and I made a centerpiece using
a picture of a cornucopia. Above the board I hung a banner made of two
table runners sewn together, that read ,"Poetry is Like a Feast for the
Mind." I made the lettering from felt, which I glued on with Tacky
glue.
