Bulletin Board Ideas by Month

 



I keep a document where I keep track which years/months I post my different hallway bulletin boards, and I thought it might be helpful to see them sorted by month.  My beginning-of-the-year bulletin board tends to stay up until winter break if it's a year when I don't put up the bow hold bulletin board; then second semester I'll change it each month or so.  Some I use every year (Birthday/Music for Life/Music In Our Schools Month/End-of-Year Recruiting), some I alternate every-other year (the two January bulletin boards), some I try to rotate between several before repeating one (beginning-of-the-year bulletin boards), and some I've maybe only used once or twice.


What other bulletin board ideas might I add to the mix?

Women Wow the Music World! Bulletin Board



Women's history month music bulletin board female composers performers


March is Women's History Month, and this year I wanted to create a bulletin board highlighting female musicians throughout history.  Thanks to my mom for coming up with the title: "Women Wow the Music World!"(and for cutting out and mailing me the letters)!

As with some previous bulletin boards (see the post "Celebrate Music with these Great Americans!" for Black History Month), I printed out the "condensed" file, trimmed and laminated each half sheet, and then attached them to a folded piece of colored paper.  If you'd rather save some steps, just print out the "double sided" file, fold each page in half, and you're ready to staple them to the bulletin board!

For each musician, I included her name and picture on the front and then her name, dates, country, instrument, profession, genre, and one famous title when you lift up the flap.

Here are the 24 musicians included (feel free to add your own):

  • Martha Argerich
  • Amy Beach
  • Hildegard von Bingen
  • Nadia Boulanger
  • Regina Carter
  • Cécile Chaminade
  • Sarah Chang
  • Sandra Dackow
  • Jacqueline du Pre
  • Ella Fitzgerald
  • Aretha Franklin
  • Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel
  • Jennifer Higdon
  • Billie Holiday
  • Alma Schindler Mahler
  • Midori
  • Soon Hee Newbold
  • Florence Beatrice Price
  • Clara Schumann
  • Ruth Crawford Seeger
  • Anoushka Shankar
  • Bessie Smith
  • Esperanza Spalding
  • Ellen Taaffe Zwilich

Names, pictures, and trivia (condensed)

Names, pictures, and trivia (print double sided)

Enjoy!

Music In Our Schools Month: Quotes



Music In Our Schools Month bulletin board with quotes


For Music In Our Schools Month, I combined student quotes and pictures with quotes from some more well-known figures.  Here are the famous quotes, and here are the pictures that match up.

The prompts for the student responses were:

§  What music means to me:

§  Music is important because…

§  Why I chose to play the instrument that I play:

§  Without music…

Check out this post for more MIOSM ideas including templates for the written prompts.
