Changing out bulletin boards each season is one of my favorite ways to keep the classroom environment fun, fresh, and exciting for my students! I like to include my students in the creation of bulletin boards by showcasing their work and creativity. These ideas for fall bulletin boards are perfect for the season and are easy to put together!
To incorporate student work into your bulletin boards, think about what art projects, writing projects, or other crafts you have planned. You can incorporate those into your fall bulletin boards. Using students’ work on the bulletin boards gives them a sense of pride and ownership. It also lessens the workload for you!
My back-to-school bulletin board round-up was such a hit that I just couldn’t resist finding more creative ideas. Read on for some of my favorite ideas for fall bulletin boards that you and your students can make together.
