TARGET: Bulletin Board for PreK-8

[Laura Brooks <laubrooks@DCA.NET>]

Hello,

I am thrilled to have accepted a new position at a preK-8 school in
Florida. I have posted questions to LM_Net in the past while a student,
and I want to express how grateful and proud I feel to be a member of
such a generous, collegial group of professionals (no matter what the
title and societal status, we are professionals). I have another
question for those of you out there who are in or have been in K-8
schools. How do you tackle a bulletin board (I only have one large board
behind the circ desk) for such a large range of grades and developmental
levels?

I have searched the archives for ideas but none seem to address only
having one space for such a wide span of grades. There were some neat
ideas involving photographs but due to the placement of the board, kids
and adults would be hard pressed to see them unless they were behind the
circ desk. Also, many of the ideas seem seasonal in nature, and fall
leaves seem out of place in tropical South Florida.

I considered dividing the space on the bulletin board for lower and
upper grades but this seems too involved and without spending a lot of
$$$ would look too jumbled. I may make a plea to move the board or to
split it up eventually, but don't think I should make such a request my
first month :-) Any and all ideas are appreciated!! I will post a hit if
there is adequate interest.
