Bulletin Board Backgrounds:
- solid color fabric, paper or plastic table cloths in red, white or blue (Target has some really bold, bright wrapping paper in solid colors that would look good too).
- decorative fabric with stars, stripes or a combo of both
- you could also incorporate camo print and the military
Bulletin Board Borders:
- Target currently has president flash cards in the dollar section. These would make a cute border on bulletin boards.
- patriotic ribbons
- die cut stars
- photocopied money
Bulletin Board Ideas:
- Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of __ Grade
Misc Tips & Ideas:
- Class Newsletter = State of the Union
- Class Rules = Constitution
- Use branches of government as names for jobs
- Take a picture of each student wearing one of those red,white and blue hats you can buy at party stores. Display them on a board titled, "Star Spangled Students."
- Add the Presidential Seal to the front of your desk
- Refer to your meeting area as "The Oval Office"
- Call your reading area the "Library of Congress"
- Hang a map and have the kids "Read Across America" by counting miles per book.
- Check out the 4th of July clearance section.


This would be a great project for the kids to do that could be a decoration throughout the year.

Great theme! There's so much that you can do with it as well.
ReplyDeleteI was checking out your blog and there's my classroom! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI teach 5th and we learn history up to Reconstruction. I am a real "history nut" anyway, so I love teaching this subject each year. This will by my fifth year to decorate my classroom in patriotic theme - and it's at a new school. Thanks for all the new ideas. Can't wait to get finished.

Beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI really like this theme and all you did! What literature do you use with it? I teach 3rd grade and am thinking about doing a patriotic unit. I need some literature to go with it.
