Each month I update my hallway bulletin board. Many of my bulletin boards have been gathered from Internet searches. Please feel free to use any the bulletin boards that I post on our blog.
This bulletin board included writing samples from the 5th through 9th grades at my school (we're a small school). Knowing that September 11 was on it's way, I thought it might be fun to create a student "quilt" of the American flag. The 5th-9th grade teachers gave their students a choice of prompts to respond to. The prompts included: Heroes are..., Freedom is..., What is one word you would use to describe America? etc. The teachers then gave the students a piece of the flag (made from construction paper) to write their responses. Note: I did not plan this as well as I would have liked. The flag is missing two stripes and seven stars, but the overall effect was not lost. A bonus was that students enjoyed reading what other students had written, and they had fun looking for their piece of the flag.
