Good News: Thematic Bulletin Boards for Christian Classrooms (School Library Media Series) [Paperback]

Barb Hilliard (Author), Sandy Trimble (Illustrator)

Book Description

Series: School Library Media Series | Publication Date: August 27, 2001

Designed for K-5 classrooms, these creative bulletin board ideas link Bible themes to classwork. The authors have created 110 different concepts, with complete instructions and illustrations. Following the school year, the bulletin boards can be used as springboards to promote discussion and as reminders of the central message in a particular lesson. The authors have also outlined ideas for classroom activities, suggestions for appropriate books, field trip ideas, party plans, cooperative learning activities, and Web sites. Faith lessons are generously sprinkled throughout.

A section called "Bible Heroes from A to Z" provides brief retellings of heroic deeds that bring Bible heroes to life. Even students who know their Bible well will enjoy these 5-minute short stories. The Bible has been a teaching tool since it was written, and Good News: Thematic Bulletin Boards for Christian Classrooms makes it easy.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Good News: Thematic Bulletin Boards for Christian Classrooms (School Library Media Series) (Paperback)

My mom is a sunday school teacher and she always likes to make nice bulletin boards every week for classes. She really likes the ideas in this book very much.

This review is from: Good News: Thematic Bulletin Boards for Christian Classrooms (School Library Media Series) (Paperback)

This is a magnificent book. The school lessons are witty & appropriate, the bulletin board illustrations & photos give you a good sense of the finished product, and the prose is written in a light, humorous manner.

Some of the ideas in the book are for specifically for Catholics, some specifically for Protestants, and a lot can be used for both. That is the main strength of the book, its versatility.

If you are afraid to purchase it because you think it might not fit into your own version of Christianity, shame on you. This is for macro-Christianity, it transcends "little boxes" and artificial divisions. We all love Jesus, and you should all buy this book.

I cannot recommend it any higher.
