Graduation Owl Bulletin Board

Maybe it is because I just put this board up two weeks before writing this post or maybe because it is still hanging on my wall as I type. Maybe it is because graduation is just an exciting time for my seniors. Maybe it is because I have spent hours preparing for their graduation (I am the high school graduation coordinator). But I love this board!!

Isn't this great? Our seniors wear navy blue, so the owls got blue caps. And our school has a patriotic theme, so graduation on Memorial Day weekend is always decked out in patriotic regalia.



Other Graduation Decorations

So I am pretty excited about graduation still (even though it was two weeks ago). All of the graduation decorations were purchased at Party City, except for the black and white 2014 Grad banner, which I purchased at Michaels. I plan on reusing the 2014 for something this coming fall. Don't know what yet, but I am all about reusing my stuff, so I have to find a purpose for it. 

 This banner was one of my favorite Party City purchases. It is a banner with graduation caps hanging off it. Can you see the little tassels? I thought it was super cute. I used miniature white binder clips to attach the banner to the structure on the ceiling. 


So that is it. That is my interchangeable owl bulletin board series.

Next year I will be teaching an entirely different set of courses, which will require a different set of bulletin boards. Looking forward to coming up with something new. Of course, I will share.

Spring Owl Bulletin Board

Spring is here… The sky is blue!!

I was married March and this song by the Dixie Cups is one of my favorite. It was my theme song the week of my wedding. I love the fresh air, bright flowers, and warmer days. Instead of going for the flower power explosion, I wanted my spring bulletin board to be a little different, so I instead went for the "April Showers" idea. Which ended up being prophetic as we had a super wet spring.

{And if you are wondering, I didn't skip a post about a January/February board, because I never did one. The way my classes work, I have very limited students in my room in January/February. It didn't make sense at the time to put my time or resources into a Valentine's Day or strictly winter board. Maybe when I recycle this board collection in a few years I will use my extra time to recreate it.}

Spring OWL Bulletin Board

This board was fairly easy to make. Just umbrellas and raindrops. I also added in the bird and squirrel that came in the original Carson-Dellosa owl set.
