If you are like me, you could look at bulletin board ideas all day long! I have a love-hate relationship with bulletin boards because although they can be a pain, they can make a classroom and/or hallway so inviting for students.
And because we love to create what our teachers need, Education to the Core has a variety of bulletin board ideas that primary teachers can use throughout the school year. All of them can be found on ETTC Premium, an unlimited primary teacher resource membership. You can decorate your bulletin boards, plan lessons for all subject areas, and save yourself tons of time and money by becoming a member today.
Some of the bulletin board ideas below are Education to the Core resources, while others come directly from teacher friends in our Fearless Teacher Facebook groups. If you are looking for a community of educators who “get it”, come join one of our Fearless Kinder, First, or Second Grade Facebook groups. Ask questions, provide advice, and/or search for ideas.

You can also have your students create their own names and use the same slogan for a different take on this bulletin board. Use an apple name craft and hang them up instead.

And if you need a placeholder for soon-to-be work on your bulletin board, we have you covered there too! Print and make copies of this page and your board will still look nice while your students work to fill the board.
