Use the images in the START HERE document to see how to set up all your items on your bulletin board, or use a tri-fold board like I did for those classrooms that have little to no extra bulletin board space.
You will also need: 2 large clasp envelops, o-rings, push pins/command hooks (or something similar to hang items on and near board), and colored paper for the various flower student pieces for the bulletin board.
How to Use:
Once you have your board set up, you can either use your interactive bulletin board as a center or as a whole group activity at the beginning of reading or for morning work.
Students will get an empty answer sheet at the beginning of the week.
Each day, you will flip to the corresponding question, and students will write their answer down. Preferably, this is not a graded assignment, but a chance for them to see what they already know or as a review.
At the end of the week – or each day, you can then review the correct answer from the day.
There are 4 weeks in total, with 5 questions per week.
Students will also be completing an additional step preparing items for the completed class bulletin board display.
