Elementary Bulletin Board
Description
Above is a bulletin board displayed during my Spring 2012 Elementary Student Teaching experience. It is an interactive board that allows for students to select "game pieces" to the correct location. There following topics are covered: nutrition, dental hygiene, personal hygiene, manners, and physical activity.
Reflection
I did not predict how quickly the students would begin to use the board. Within minutes of the board being up, students were gathered around it and had begun working on it. It was truly exciting to see students engaged in a learning tool, especially with no prior encoragment to do so. Many of my future boards will take note of the power of interactive tools.
