Fall Bulletin Board Ideas

Summer Memories

1.  I send an opening letter to each of my first grade students about two weeks before school begins along with a paper that I want them to fill in about their summer vacation memories. (Download the form.)
 *On the attached paper, I put handwriting lines by the blank spaces where I want them to write so that they can make appropriate letters.

2.  They bring this paper with them to school on the first day.  We have a community circle and each child shares his/her paper and shows the picture. This gives each child a chance to introduce himself/herself to the rest of the
class.

3.  When we are finished, I take a picture of each child.  I hang up their pictures with their stories on a bulletin board in the hallway.  I have used many different sayings:  "Look What We Did This Summer!"  "Room 112's Summer
Memories"

I've made different backgrounds for the bulletin board. (The Sky, The Beach, The Park, etc...)
