These two boards have consumed my last few weeks at school, but was totally worth it! After spending so many nights on Pinterest, looking for ideas, I finally put a few of my favorite pins together. :)
My first board goes with my literacy centers. The main focus of my centers will follow the CAFE template, however, I am supplementing a few extra centers as needed.
I LOVE this board because it can help me stay organized, as well as providing information for my students. I have cut out several laminated strips of paper to use below CAFE so they can be reused for the entire year. Even better, this was a free product on TpT by Free to Teach that you can pick up here!
The content of this board is perfect for me, but it was also easy to make! I used black fabric, a chalkboard style border, chalkboard pennant banner ($3 Target Special!), colored printing paper, ribbon, and a decoration fan (Dollar Tree!).
This board was inexpensive and easy to put up with just ONE person!
Finally, my latest board... I just finished it up today! This board will be used specifically for my weekly reading anchor charts. What a great way to display a reading lesson throughout the entire week!!! My students can even come back to the board to refer to any information they need during their reading centers.
I used the same black fabric as a background along with the black chalkboard style border. I have already had an Instagram followers ask where I got the glitter letters. Here is my secret.... My teaching friend, The Primary Gal, let me borrow her Silhouette cutter to make the letters and banner pieces. Then, I add glue and glitter to the letters, then glued them to the banner. The banner is all handmade...if the Silhouette counts. ;) You can't beat that!
Thanks for reading! Come back later this week to see my WHOLE CLASSROOM! :)
