Classroom Ideas: Random Acts Of Kindness (RAK) Bulletin Board

Attention Teachers!!!

Your Classroom is like a Party....Give your classroom special thoughtful touches (like you would for a party!) This year I have added "Teacher classroom Ideas"

RAK (Random Acts of Kindness)

is so important to share!

This clever idea is from LemonTreeCreations.blogspot.com

I LOVE this idea:

Bucket Fillers

"The bucket filling concept is something that is ongoing throughout the year and my students always love it! At the beginning of the year we talk a lot about what it means to be good friends to each other. We always read a book entitled, "How Full is Your Bucket? for Kids" and the students learn about their invisible bucket. We talk about filling other people's buckets by saying and doing nice things for them and we also talk about how sometimes we can be bucket dippers. When we dip into other's buckets it hurts their feelings and it makes us feel bad about ourselves too. The entire year this is something that can be revisited and the students are reminded how important it is for them to be kind to one another. This is a simple way we display the buckets in our classroom and ensure that it is a focus throughout the school year."

Classroom ideas: Twitter Door

We are continuing on Classroom Ideas...This idea is awesome! How clever and cool!

Tweet with Twitter!!!!

Mrs. White's 5th Grade Class must be a fun teacher!

She asks the kids to tweet about certain things and other times she allows them to tweet about anything they want. It just depends on what they  were doing that day. When they first started, she let a few kids go to the door at a time but once they get started they went to the door when they come up with something they wanted to tweet about. They also used the real Twitter app on the iPad to tweet about what they were doing in the classroom. She also would  have the students take a picture of something they were doing in class and tweet about it. 

Classroom Theme Ideas are like Planing a Party!

 This week I plan to share some great ideas for teachers.

Planning a party is the same as planning your classroom.

NOTE: DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS!!!!

This is what makes a party or classroom GREAT!

Schoolgirl Style is a great blog with links to buy her classroom printables.

(Please note these could be used for parties as well...)

She also lists where to buy the other cute props she uses.

 Animal prints paired with soothing blues and greens creates a calming and exotic environment for your students.

She used a map on this bulletin board.  Using maps of every shape and size is such a clever way to cover your boards.  Her boards are small, so the map covers it perfectly.  She says, she would actually prefer to overlap several maps.  It gives it a more eclectic look for this theme.  Don’t be afraid to overlap and create a quilt like effect to your boards.

This classroom is good for any age or grade....

Globes from Oriental Trading, once again good for Parties, too!!!!

I  LOVE the lanyards for a welcome name tag!!!

For more info and where to buy the tags and other props go to Schoolgirl Style!

Please note: Teachers, this helps make learning fun!

A clever environment will make any subject more interesting!!!!
