January BB
By Mary

I searched for "general" January board ideas too, and this is what I found and decided to do . . . I read the book Snowflake Bentley to my third graders, then showed them a book that was a collection of all his photographs
of the snowflakes, then I taught the kids how to make a true six-sided snowflake. From here, the snowflakes were posted on a bulletin board titled . . . Children are like snowflakes. Every one Different! Every one Special. Finally, to finish the board, I put a photocopied school picture of each of the students in the center of the snowflake! Hope this helps!
Oh, I also did one titled

. . . If you can dream it, you can do it! A quote from Walt Disney. I gave each child a cloud and asked them to write down their wish for the new year in the center of the cloud. To finish it off, we put silver glitter around the edge of the cloud . . . because every cloud has a silver lining!
