I saw this bulletin board in a classroom the other day and I thought it would be a good idea to share. I plan on using it in my classroom next year.

Bulletin Board: Advice From Former Students

At the end of the year, have students write one piece of advice they have for your students next year. These pieces of advice can be written on colorful index cards or small colorful pieces of paper. Create a bulletin board to display all of the advice (good and bad) to your new students for the new school year. Students will like hearing from former students about what your class will be like. They'll know what to expect.

to decorate my room and get ready for the new year. purple bulletin boards with blue and red borders. pink pencil can.

my outside bulletin board is going to say start your engines and i am going to make cars with each student's name on them. elementary, but i am the bulletin board queen in my school. i did a bulletin board outside my classroom my first year of teaching and it is still there today. the kids love stuff like this and i love to do it for them.

with gas prices as they are, we paid 3.47 for regular today, maybe it wasn't the best idea, but i think it will be adorable. and i am a girly girl when it comes to crafts and stuff.

i have the same room as last year, and i am teaching math team, 2 single periods of regents prep, and 1 double period of junior math. so i didn't get seniors and i didn't get the classes i requested. but i was way happier to be back than i thought i would. i am starting to realize i could do this for a really long time, and that was never my intention. lane is my home.

one of the girls i took to cheerleading camp is moving to new jersey. i have yet to find out if she knew this when i took her to camp, b/c there aren't that many girls and the other girls would have killed to have her spot. but it is neither here nor there anymore.

i am waiting to hear from one of my girls. she got pregnant in june, and we did the pregnancy test together, everything, we talked about all of her options. i tried not to tell her what i would do, but she wanted to know. i told her that i couldn't abort a baby but that i am not her. i wanted her to know all of her options and i knew she was leaning towards not having it and i didn't want to influence her decision in any way. her bf wanted to marry her. he's a good kid. she told me after us talking for a loooooooong time that she wanted to abort the baby but tell everyone she miscarried while she was in the dominican republic. i hope she's ok and that she comes back to school.

we went to my bf's school to clean his room. so disgustingly dirty we didn't even get to decorate. mouse droppings and everything. disgusting. it's in the same neighborhood as my school. a lot of students from there come to my school for hs. being there made me angry. if that was my kid...i would be raising hell. dirty disgusting school. we talked for a while during the car ride home after going to abuela's (spanish for grandmother) house for dinner (she lives in this neighborhood and owns the house where my bf grew up). this neighborhood will never change and it's sad. i have a lot to say to back this claim up but it would take hours to lay it all out. i don;t know how my bf got out of the mess of the ghetto. well, i did too and i dealt with a lot more issues than just the ghetto, but i know that i am a stronger person inside than he is. i felt so angry about the situation that it made me realize how much i want to stay here, how much i love my kids, how happy they make me. they complete me. they will give me so much more than i could ever give them.

let me be your superwoman...a daunting task but i'm ready to take it on
