Bulletin Boards with a Purpose

Bulletin Boards are a great way to connect with our kiddos!  I love creating bulletin boards that not only address the CCR Standards but also are interactive.  This bulletin board was created to highlight Kelso's Choices, a wonderful program that empowers kiddos to solve their own little problems (play doh problems) and seek help from an adult for big problems (rock problems).  I simply displayed the Kelso's Choices poster that is posted on all playgrounds used as a "work it out space".  Then, I used student writing that shared what they felt were small problems and big problems.  The most exciting part of the bulletin board is the note that invites the kiddos to leave a question for Kelso that maybe answered during our daily school wide morning meeting.  You can see I attached several pens, so the students could write directly on the bulletin board.  Of course, my last touch was the College and Career Readiness Standards that the board covered.  Incorporating the standards across all areas of the curriculum is possible and exciting to highlight especially in the area of counseling.  Did I mention that my PBIS Team helped create and put up this bulletin board for me !!! :-)
