Here are some easy beginning of the year bulletin boards! These bulletin boards can be done for any elementary grade! I had a jungle themed classroom my 1st year and I used this as my beginning of the year board! I loved it because I kept this up in my room all year. I used fabric as the backing and it never fades and is super cheap! "We are wild about 1st grade!" "Look who popped up in 1st grade!" If I did this beginning of the year bulletin board again, I would buy those mini bags of microwave popcorn and put the student's names on those instead of the popcorn cut outs. "A New Twist on a New Year". This was the beginning of the year bulletin board my first year. I bought a Twister board for $10 and I used the box and the spinner for 3D decorations on my board. You can look for a used one at any thrift store. "Kids at Work-Under Kidstruction", This is currently my beginning of the year board! Love it! The kid bulletin board is from DJ Inkers. I love this bulletin board idea from my teammate Amber! She used Hershey's wrappers, graham crackers, and bags of marshmallows! I am pretty sure she traced clipart on her projector and then cut it out of butcher paper. A lot of work, but SO cute!
