PAWS-ITIVELY GOOD ATTENDANCE

This in our current ATTENDANCE CHARTS!!  

The KIDDOS are adding dog themed stickers to their Attendance Charts.  I purchased the stickers at our local Dollar Tree.

I bought the dog bowl at the Dollar Tree.  It was easy to cut in half and add a sheet of cardstock to it...then attaching it to the bulletin board became super easy.  

The KIDDOS attendance charts are printed from my computer.  I used a clipart picture that filled the purpose.  

The Dog House and Dog, Paw Prints and Dog Bones are also clipart.  I just printed them in color, laminated them and put them on the board. 

I love to have "unique" Attendance Boards.  I want them to be fun, encouraging, and exciting.  I think this one filled all of those!!  

Hope you are encouraged to come up with fun and inviting ATTENDANCE boards.  Sometimes the best ideas come when just strolling through your local DOLLAR TREE, DOLLAR GENERAL, SCHOOL SUPPLY STORE, ETC.

When You Can't Find Visuals---Make Them, Use What You Have, Be Resourceful

Recently our 2nd through 4th graders were learning about Paul's Missionary Journeys.  However, we could not find a really good POSTER/BULLETIN BOARD set for the classroom.  So, what we decided to do was PART and PIECE various visuals for their "Bulletin Board" wall.  (As you can see they do not have a Bulletin Board in their classroom, so we use the wall.)

      We had the MAPS in our MAPS POSTER FILE.  

We had the Laminated Yellow Posters.

The KIDDOS get to Write the Name of Each City on these. 

PAUL, is borrowed from the 2-4 year old classroom.

  We have a Bible Character Set (no longer in print.)  We believe in sharing from classroom to classroom when needed.  

I printed the Boat and Anchors.  

I use the Printmaster Program.  I love that it does poster size!!  

For clarity, we know Paul did not SAIL to every stop he made.  But, for this display we had each ANCHOR for each Journey.  They wrote Paul's stops on each anchor ---First Journey on one Anchor.  Second on another.  Third on another.  

We have decided to PRINT the SHIP out on a much larger scale for the next time they teach the Journeys of Paul.

They displayed my 1st Missionary Journey song Poster Size.  I am still working on songs for the 2nd and 3rd Journey.  

The KIDDOS Added a "Paul" sticker for Attendance and a "Ship" sticker for arriving with a completed lesson. They printed the map from a website.  

They also reused our ABC'S though ACTS posters. These have a basic synopsis of each chapter based upon the letters of the Alphabet.  

 

Example:

  

   Chapter One

       

             A

 Ascension of Christ

I want to suggest you laminate everything!!!  If you take the time to make something---LAMINATE if for later use!!!  

Blessings,
