couple of ideas
By Mrs.Baird

I'm a new teacher, but so far i've enjoyed the creative part of being a teacher the best. i'm doing a couple of bulletin boards for the season. One we are going to do the camouflaged gingerbread men. they took that project
home this week and its due on monday. i'll make the bulletin board from foil, to look like a cookie sheet. i may have the students do a writing assignment to go with this board. the other one i'm going to do are glyphs. but a little differently than a K class would do. we are going to make gifts, and make them from different colors of foam/paper stuff. each color will represent

a talent or gift that student has, or other things about that student. the bows will be made of pipe cleaners. however, the students are going to interview thier partner, and then do a glyph about thier partner, rather than themselves. we will talk about how everyone offers something different to the class/world. (i'm at a christian school, so i will talk about the fruits of the spirit as well). then, they will write sentences about what they learned about thier partner. "Audrey is very good at math. Audrey loves to give to others..." This will all be written on Christmas themed computer paper that we're going to glitter. They will have to tell the glass what they learned about thier partner- and end it with _________ is a gift to our class". The title of this board will be something like "Our First Graders are a Gift From God"...or something catchy. Just an idea. If you need more info, because its confusing just ask. I"m on my day 5 of a headache this week, so i'm not making a ton of sense :). Good Luck!
