Primary Pizzazz: Boho Birds

Boho Birds

Today I'm sharing the next product in my box of Carson Dellosa goodies. Isn't just adorable!

Love, Love, Love these Boho birds!

I received the bulletin board set but there are many more Boho Birds products on the Carson Dellosa website. I may just have to change my room theme for next year! The set includes one large and several small birds as well as branches and 40 leaves.

The minute I saw this set I knew just what I wanted to do with it! I’ve thought about this bulletin board for quite some time but just didn’t have the right images. TA DA! Boho birds to the rescue!

Check it out!

I’m always looking for ideas to have my students write for an

AUTHENTIC purpose

and this Twitter board is PERFECT!

To begin, I just let the kiddos write random thoughts. They were SO excited to create a Twitter name and post Tweets just like mom and dad! I used the small birds to display the user names and let the students post their own Tweets. Of course, we had a few discussions on appropriateness before posting began!

Later I plan on moving to an exit slip type idea with a “What did you learn today?” focus.

I’ve also thought about “Random Acts of Kindness.” Lots of possibilities!

Honestly, this is one of the best ideas I’ve had! Anything that gets reluctant writers writing is a teacher’s dream! We worked on creating short, focused writing pieces about topics of their choice.

And, editing is easy to encourage because there’s not much to edit!
