Lucky To Be Me Bulletin Board
Aren't we lucky that
everyone in the world is unique? Send that message to your
class this St. Patrick's Day with a student-made bulletin board.
Provide students
with plenty of old magazines; then instruct each child to cut out
pictures (or words)
that describe and illustrate his uniqueness. Have the student
glue the cutouts,
collage-fashion, on a large shamrock pattern that's been cut from
green construction
paper. Post the one-of-a-kind shamrocks on a bulletin board
titled
"Lucky to Be Me!" or "Lucky Me! I'm Special!"
More Precious
Than Gold
Give each child a
circle cut from yellow construction paper. Have them draw a
self portrait on the circle. Display the circles on black
bulletin board paper
cut into a post shape. Title the display "More Precious Than
Gold!"
Good Behavior
Make a leprechaun
lounging against a pot of gold with a big rainbow.
Make sure every child gets a cutout coin. Each time the child
is well
behaved: uses nice manners, is kind, follows a rule, etc. Their
coin gets
closer to the "pot of gold", as it slides down the rainbow.
Title it: "Good Behavior Pays Off!"
Good As Gold
Have children make a
large handprint rainbow on a sheet of bulletin board paper.
Cut out the rainbow. Staple a poly-fil cloud to a bulletin
board; then mount the
rainbow on the board so that it is coming out of the cloud.
Staple a construction
paper pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Glue each child's
picture on a
separate construction paper gold coin; then mount the coins
around the pot.
Good As Gold
II
Make a 3-D rainbow
by arranging, overlapping, and stapling sections of red, blue,
and yellow plastic wrap to the board. Mount a pot cutout at each
end of the
rainbow. Have each child write his name on a piece of
construction paper gold.
Attach each child's name to the board as you deem appropriate.
The Golden
Rule
I made a rainbow
with handprints and on the cloud I wrote
"Pre-K Knows The Golden Rule". On the pot at the end of the
rainbow
I wrote the Golden Rule. " Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them
Do Unto You" The children cut out coins and wrote their names on
them. We also cut out some clouds to fill in empty spaces on the
board.
Pot of Gold At
the End Of the Rainbow
I took puffy paint
and painted a rainbow, after it dried I cut it out and attached
to the bulletin board, instead of just making a "pot" to have the
rainbow end at,
we took a paper cup that we painted black and put little gold
pieces of different
size paper for the "gold" in the "pot". It gave it more of a 3-d
effect.
