Spring Measurement Interactive Bulletin Board

Hi teaching friends! Needing a new idea for a measurement lesson? How about a new spring bulletin board? Perhaps something that combines them both? Score!

I am definitely one for working smarter and not harder. As I was contemplating what I would put up for the April classroom bulletin board, I realized that I could actually use it for double duty!

How about a bulletin board display that also encouraged learning – and not just a place to hang student work or place my cute umbrella border? {It really is a cute border, I know.} But I really wanted something that wasn’t just taking up space to take it up. Classroom walls come at a premium for most teachers already.

So I sat down and created something that you could use for curriculum AND it has the added bonus of making a fun-to-look-at classroom decor spring display. Even if you don’t have a dedicated bulletin board in the classroom, I have a workaround for that too with the portable board idea below. Keep reading!

You can recreate what you see below on your own no problem! If you want to save yourself a little time, feel free to keep reading more about what I have free for you to get started.

Portable Bulletin Board Solution

I mentioned earlier that I had a solution for those who don’t have a permanent bulletin board in the classroom to use for this project and it’s so simple, you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it before.

Use a science fair tri-fold project board.

I used one in my example pictures above in fact.

They come in tons of different colors, they can sit atop an extra table or along the window shelf, and you can easily fold them up and lean it against a wall to stash it if more room is needed.

Use sticky tack and command hooks to add your elements to the board (or even small thumbtacks) and the board itself can be reused throughout the entire school year. Pretty sweet, right?

This bulletin board set pretty much has everything already ready for you – and I adore the umbrellas and galoshes! There are seriously so cute to look at throughout the day.

Again, if you want to create your own version, I always encourage you to feel free to do so if it saves you some pennies in the classroom.

What a fun bulletin board to have up when your students return from their holiday weekend if you have a later Spring Break than most.
