5.0 out of 5 stars Creative ideas for the K-3 classroom., May 12, 2000

This review is from: Interactive Bulletin Boards: September to June (Grades K-3) (Paperback)

This book offers the teacher numerous creative ideas for using bulletin boards in the classroom, as well as ideas to expand teaching with the bulletin boards. The reproductibles make it convenient for teachers to quickly start the boards, then students can assist with the creation of a new learning center. The designs list materials needed (generally items found in the classroom, learning links, step-by-step creation, suggestions for borders, and variations of the designs. A great tool for "spicing up" the traditional bulletin boards in the classroom!

3.0 out of 5 stars not really interactive, September 6, 2007

By 

Lauren "teachergirl" (South Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interactive Bulletin Boards: September to June (Grades K-3) (Paperback)

I think that this book had alot of ideas for cute bulletin boards, but it's not interactive as it says. I am in a DAP workshop, and needed to make interactive areas out of wasted space. These boards are more interactive b/c they are made by the students, rather than interactive board space for them to be involved in activites. I'm sorry to say it's not worth 30-50 dollars, the book itself has a price embedded for 10 dollars. Sorry to disappoint; if your looking for a Developmentally Appropriate approach.
