Visually Engaging Students!

Help me give my students attractive and engaging bulletin board displays in the hallways!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Watkins's classroom raised $221

This project is fully funded

My Project

Bulletin boards serve as a major source of visual engagement for students. It is important that they be updated regularly and attractive to engage the students. The supplies of this project consist of what I need to maintain my bulletin boards throughout the school year. The laser leveler will help students create a bulletin that is attractive by easing their ability to properly place the resources on the bulletin. The borders will help visually stimulate the students and attract their attention to monthly themes such as Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month.
