Finally got those bulletin boards finished- well, almost. I still have a few touches to add, but they are 99% finished.
This one is to help the kids with clean up and organization. I told them that I am the biggest monster at the top and they are the smaller monsters at the bottom. If you recall, I have their tables numbered, so they know which monster is "theirs" (see photo below). I have made it so that I can remove the word clouds and replace them with new jobs each day. Basically, their monster tells them what to do at clean-up time. Jobs include sharpening pencils, washing paint brushes, wiping tables, etc.
These numbers, on their tables, correspond with their seats and let them know which monster to look at.
This is my version of
Mr. E's No No Board, which reminds students of things I do not want to see in their artwork. For example, no stick people, no smiley faces on their suns, no "broccoli trees", and no floating people and things. I still need to finish coloring the cards, so this one is a work in progress.
I made these signs last year to show my art room rules.
This chart is new this year and is a combination of a few ideas I have seen on several blogs, including Mr. E's. I have cut out the letters "A" "R" & "T" and placed them on my whiteboard. If they follow all of the rules for the day, they keep all three letters and receive a blue square on the chart. If they lose any of their letters, they get a yellow square, and if they lose all of their letters, they receive a red square. The class thet has the most blue squares at the end of the year will receive a prize (not sure what yet!)
This bulletin board is for Artist Spotlights, and obviously, this month's is Vincent VanGogh.
My husband knows that I like to start the year with a
sunflower project, so he sent me some flowers for inspiration! They look gorgeous on my desk.
Hope you are all having a great start to the school year!
