my classroom theme is bumble bees and would like some bulletin board ideas?

Question

i need ideas for a math, reading, science, social studies, english, behavior bulletin board. i also need one for the door.

Answer 1

hmmm bumble bees... I don't know anything about them...

Math
normal honey bees you could have a whole maths session on the shape of the honeycomb.... how the shapes fit perfectly together... counting bees in a hive..
Make a hive out of papier mache and some carboard cut out bees with some maths question on them.... the kids pick up a bee and read and answer the math problem if they are right they can place the bee in the hive... when all of the bees are home in the hive the whole class can be rewarded wtih a favourite story, a favourite activity... etc...

Social Studies
social studies you could loook at how bees work together to achieve what they want...

English/Reading
in english get the kids reading and writing poems about bees...

Behaviour
you could theme the behaviour around working together like bees in a hive... being a as busy as bees..

Art
cut out some cardboard shapes like bees get the kids to decorate them with a range of methods. ie colour them in, paste on material, cut out little shapes in black and yellow card board and stick onto the bees....

Answer 2

OK -- I teach big kids (high school) but I'm know as the Queen of Art at our school. Use the honeycomb theme -- make a giant honey come and put each subject inside the come.

Another thought that just came to me - is use the hive - it could be a simile for your school. (Of course, you are the Queen Bee)

Giant bees hanging from the ceiling would be cute - I believe you could find these at a craft store (like Michael's). They would move in the air and look cool.

Behavior bulletin - could be the Honey Pot -- or Comb (little Winnie the Pooh there). Has their behavior been sweet?

Good luck!

Answer 3

What grade?

for the door go to the fabric store and get felt and make a bumble bee on a flower.

Social Studies you can show how they work together as a community and how there are different jobs of the bees.

English writing a story about a bumble bee

Science the process of making honey, how about having a "bee farmer" talk to the class or going to visit one

Math- it can be as complex as the angle designs of the honey combs or simple as counting them.

Answer 4

depending on the age group, you couldmake a spot for flowers. And if they are younger kids, have them make flowers during the first few weeks to decorate that part of the room.

And some different kinds of bees for other bulletin boards

Answer 5

There is cute poem that is available in English and Spanish that is about a bumblebee. It talks about trying hard to succeed and about how it doesn't matter what you look like etc. Here is the site: http://www.thetalkingbumblebee.com/index.htm

Also, what about having numbers on the bumblebees' butts for counting and adding up.

Here is the wikipedia article on bumblebees. It has some cool pictures and perhaps some of the facts could be put into language your students will understand and post them around the room next to the pictures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblebee

Answer 6

Winnie the Pooh characters, a beehive, and of course, a honeypot for Pooh. Math: bees and a hive; science: honeypot, social studies: 100 acre wood, reading: Pooh books, english: learning to spell the character names, behavior board: make a chart for each child with activities blocked off for each hour or so. When completed, use a stamp pad with pooh characters and stamp each block as they finish. Pooh sticker on finished chart.

Answer 7

well something you could do is to think out side of the boxs. you could just us bumble bee colours and make something creative out of that. or us parts of the bee and ad them to like a beeker and make it look like it's a scientifice bumble bee

Answer 8

Use bees, honey, flowers, honeycombs, bee nests, the colors yellow and black, wings, everything associated with a bee when you think about it. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

How old are your students? You could have them each make a flower for the board (flowers for the bees :) and on them write their name and their favorite subject. Then, on the leaves (or petals) they can write one thing they learned or want to learn in that subject. :)

Answer 10

Make a handprint rainbow. Cut out handprints from different color paper and put them together to form a rainbow. The kids who come in there can help, and it wouldn't violate privacy.
