Thank you everyone for your help. Here are my hits: Wendy I don't, outside of the information and craft things in both Bookbag and Library Sparks can be used for felt boards and bulletin boards alike! Hope this helps! Please post a hit if you get any? Thanks so much, ******************************************************************************* I'm trying to change mine every month but, boy is that tough. Last month I had cut hearts out of Valentine gift paper and placed them on dollies. Then, I color copied the front of some classic novels and entitled the board "Fall in Love With a Classic." This month it's book covers on kites and twine for "Soaring With Books." Back in January I had bought the "Reading Wonderland" poster from Upstart and had snowflakes covering the board. I gotten positive feedback from my principal and many others. Do you have some students to help or an assistant? I don't have official student aides but, I've turned some of my study hall kids into helpers! Let me know what others tell you since I need all the help I can get!! *********************************************************************************** One of my favorites for this time of year is a row of tulips with the favorite books of teachers on it. Originally I have a tulip shaped form with lines for the name of the teacher, title, and author. Now I use an Ellison die and don't have copies of the form anymore. Hi, Wendy! My assistant and I have done a number of fun bulletin boards. Here's a few 1. Before they were movies: a mural of book covers like Because of Winn Dixie, Matilda, Holes, The secret Garden, etc. 2. Fishing for a gook Book: fishing pole, book covers on fish. 3. Author displays 4. Seasonal displays...Black History month, Spring(Kites), Fall (Leaves w/ book covers), Beach umbrellas, Poetry 5. Hit a Home Run! Baseball themed books. 6. Travel the Globe @ your library...travel brochures from travel agency, non-fiction about various countries. Also, check out School Library Activities Monthly / features/ activities almanac. [ http://www.schoollibrarymedia.com/features/activities/index.html ]http://www.schoollibrarymedia.com/features/activities/index.html Its a great listing for ideas. Best of luck! First lines of classic books is always fun. Example: "Where is papa going with that ax?" Charlotte's web. Library jokes are fun too [ http://www.librarybooks4u.com/jokes.html ]Library jokes HYPERLINK "http://www.ps87library.org/tp.gif"[Image Wendy I have a volunteer mother who comes in each month to do a bulletin board for me. She covers the board with colored paper and decorations (Hearts, Shamrocks, Trees, etc) and we feature 2 authors whose birthday falls in that month. We feature book covers we copied and she makes catchy comments about the books. I also have a small bulletin board in the library that has a permanent cake with Happy Birthday Authors and sentence strips on the bottom with name and date for about 8 to 10 authors. Perma-Bound has an Author & Illustrator calendar that I'm sure you can procure from a vendor. http://www.librarybooks4u.com/jokes.html http://www.laughinglibrarian.com ***************************************************************************** >First lines of classic books is always fun.

I created a background of a sky with a rainbow shooting through it. On each ray of the rainbow, I wrote the words (one per ray): What reading means to me. Then, on cloud shapes, I put a variety of quotations about reading. I asked my staff if they had any favorites and then used quotation websites to find the others. ~********************************************************************** ~You could do a Dewey section each month- with book covers from that area. It would be a teaching tool and easy for you to do each year. The next year you could do an author a month....then back to Dewey ~ I was just informed that I have to start doing a hallway bulletin board each month. I was wondering if anyone had some great ideas or websites they can tell me about. I would like to do ones related to reading. Thank you.
