I decided after having my bulletin board the same for the past 4 months, I'd change it up. I love incorporating writing with my bulletin board and this one was so much fun! As the school year is winding down, my students keep saying how much they are going to miss me OR they can't wait for 2nd grade. I decided to have them write about how they felt leaving 1st grade and we of course had to use EMOJIS! PRE-WRITE: I printed the emojis on yellow paper and glued them each to a white poster. I had the students walk around and write different emotions that each of the emojis were showing. Here's an example: THEN WE TALKED: Then we gathered the posters and talked about each emotion and how they relate to how we are feeling about leaving this grade-level and entering a new one. THEY PICKED THE EMOJI: They then picked the emoji that most strongly represented how they felt. I went through each poster and they raised their hand to tell me if they wanted that one. If so, I put a tally of how many copies to make of that emoji on the back of its poster. WRITING: They then began to write using the circled writing paper. When they were finished, they brought up their writing paper and picked up their emoji cover. I stapled the two at the top of the circle and they cut both out at the same time. This way, it remained stapled. Check it out here!

Its Friday (yippee!) - time for another Steal this Idea* feature - a tiny show of appreciation for a well executed tutorial. Today's feature something that I can't believe has been sitting on the interwebs for 3 years and Ive never seen before. I love it so hard! It doesn't even need a tutorial - its that easy! Katiedid simply freehand cut out the characters of her favorite Christmas music and decorated her home with this clever idea. Even if you had explained the idea to me, I would not have believed it would look so fabulous. Genius! Extra points to her husband for doing most of the cutting. Now that is love! postscript: *When I say steal, I really mean borrow nicely and give proper credit! **If you have an idea/tutorial you would like me to consider for a feature, email me. I'd love to see!
