Welcome Back to School Bulletin Board
Directions
1. Use any simple background color and border.

3. Label each object with related, grade appropriate words that will be useful in upcoming spelling, reading and writing lessons.
4. Change words and items from time to time.
5. Keep your display colorful and simple!
Variations: Use any content-area graphic with important related words. For example, use a large numeral with tricky number words written inside. Or use a microscope with science words.
