Teddy Bear Bulletin Board..
By Lori

Hi Lisa.
I read your post and got hit with major INSPIRATION!!! !!(I am working on a teddy bear theme too..) What if you made a teddybear cutout for each child, then took a photo of each and did them up on a color
copier so you could put the face of each child on "their" bear....Laminate them and these could be the basis for each month's board...
September could be the bears with some standard "beginning of school" stuff..crayons, books, an apple or two, and a sample of each child's work like the bear was holding it....You could title it "FIRST GRADE- Bearly Started and We LOVE It ALready!"

For October you could do a spooky theme with the bears and have the kids make pipecleaner spiders, use some stretched out quilt batting from the craft store(makes great webs), and call it WE CAN BEARLY STAND THE SUSPENSE.....
November is harder...maybe something to tie in with a theme in their studies..we usually have a community service project going to kind of tie in with Thanksgiving...All I can think of is Bearing Each Other's Burdens...but thats kind of heavy for first graders.. hhhmmm........
Like I said, I am really inspired here...I think I'll put aside the weather Bear I'm working on and work on this for a while!!!! Email me if you think any of this would work for you....I can see December now........POLAR BEARS LOVE FIRST GRADE!!!!! have the kids make little construction paper scarves for their bears, and add cut-in-half styrofoam balls for snowballs...cutout snowflakes (great art project)....Gosh! This is fun!!!!Hope the inspiration strikes you too...
