Spring Bulletin Board Ideas

Watch our Reading Garden Grow!

You can print the necessary patterns for the bulletin board below. Prior to getting this interactive bulletin board underway, you will need to designate how much (pages and/or time) that a student needs to read in order to add a piece of stem to their flower.

Getting Started:
1. Print the patterns below for the flowers, stem/leaf, and recording page.
2. Copy the flower patterns onto white cardstock or construction paper. (Make enough so each student in your class has a flower. You can even copy a few extra to use as decorations around the board.)
3. Copy the stem/leaf patterns onto green cardstock or construction paper. (You will want a large number of stem copies. You can keep them in a small basket...or even a watering can...next to the bulletin board.
4. Copy one recording page for each student in your classroom. (Prior to copying, you may want to write the designated pages/time you selected.)
5. Each student will select a flower shape to color. Students attach their flower to the bulletin board, along the bottom.
6. As students read, they will need to log their pages/minutes using the recording page.
7. When students reach the designated reading goal, they will remove their flower from the board, attach their stem/leaf piece, and then reattach their flower to the new addition. This continues as students continue to read.
