Printable Classroom Bulletin Boards: A Quick Way To Decorate Your Classroom

By Linda S Winchester

Teachers, are you tired of spending too much money for bulletin board decorations at the teacher store?

Maybe you would make the sacrifice if you could find what you need.

Most so called teacher stores have an abundance of everything except bulletin board materials. Their limited supply usually consists of a few extremes. The materials are extremely lacking in content, extremely commercial looking, and extremely costly. Then you have to decide whether or not you are going to settle for something you really don't want. You could probably make your own materials if you just had the time.

Finding time to make bulletin boards always been a struggle for teachers. They are a must have; but teachers must have time to do them.

Most teachers never have enough have time to do them. They should be fun to do. Instead they are often a source of stress. Stress comes from first of all deciding what you are going to put on your boards. Do you have the materials on hand that you need. Making the boards require tracing letters and cutting them out.

A very arduous and time consuming task. You must do this at home or after school. The next arduous task is finding pictures that are appropriate for your bulletin board. Laminating the letters and cutting them a second time. Laminating and cutting out pictures and borders. I have seen teachers take weeks to get one bulletin board done. Most teachers have at least two and sometimes three bulletin boards to decorate. Over a period of days or weeks you manage to finish. You sit down and know that you are done for at least another month...
