Bulletin Board Linky Party

Look at me! A few months ago I had no idea what a "linky party" was and now I'm hosting one!

I spend lots of time in the summer scouring the web for back to school bulletin boards. I usually find a general idea and then tweak it a bit. From what I've seen with my blog hopping lately, I know that there must be a treasure trove of back to school boards out there just waiting for the spotlight!

So, join me in sharing some cool ways to welcome the kids back and link up! You know what? Feel free to link up any boards, you never know what might inspire someone :)  If you don't have a blog, feel free to leave a comment about your board.

I'll go first! This was last year's welcome back board. I had saved up enough cups to have one for each kid but the weird shape of the cup made attaching them a nightmare (Who woulda thunk it?) So instead, I added a cupcake wrapper with the kids' names inside at the last minute).

Our Open House (or Parent Night) is about a month after school starts, so just before the parents came I switched it to this one. It's a glyph activity that we do in class during the first few days. I love how it looks on the black background. (I painted my bb's...best.thing.ever!)

Finally is this soup-er board (ba dum dum!). I've shared this one before. As you see it now, we used it for an end of the year spelling review. Originally though, I used it as a welcome board with the title "Mrs. B's Soup-er Second Graders!" Takes a little patience to glue the teeny little alphabet letters down, but I'm thinking that letter stickers might work just as well...

{Please don't let me be the only one at my party. That would be very sad. And lonely.}
