READBOX

This is our new middle school bulletin board. I had one of my high school TA's look at a bunch of other READBOX examples and this is what she came up with. I think it turned out great. I have noticed my students stopping to look at the pictures of books. 

Fun boards

Here are a few bulletin boards that my high school helpers put together for our elementary school at the end of the summer school program to get us ready for the fall. I think they turned out really nice. 

Teachers Read Too

This is a bulletin board that we put together at the end of the school year. I asked the teachers to take a picture of themselves reading somewhere outside of school. I didn't get a lot of the teachers to participate because it was a busy time for them. The students really liked the board.
