POP in to See the School Counselor Bulletin Board🍿✨

Happy 2021-22 School Year! If you are looking for a fun and informative bulletin board idea, you are in luck! 

At the end of the school year last year, @schoolcounselingspot posted a picture of a bulletin board that said "Pop in to See Your School Counselor" with a popcorn theme. I fell in love with it! I have been thinking about how to recreate it ever since! 

I decided to use a popcorn and movie theme and create this🍿"POP in to See the School Counselors!" 🎬 display in front of the school counseling office. This display is a great way to promote the school counseling program and advertise to students reasons they could pop in to see the school counselors.

Here is a closer look at the display. Each popcorn has a different reason students might see a school counselor:
🍿 Grief & loss
🍿 Studying
🍿 Friends
🍿 Organization
🍿 Stress
🍿 Worry
🍿 Grades
🍿 Future planning


I created the marquee sign using red roll paper, white roll paper, yellow cardstock, and printed letters.

I laminated the sign so everything stayed together and so that I could use it again. I hung it up with packing tape. I strategically hung a popcorn to cover the g-word. 🙃

I carried the Popcorn/Movie theme into my setup for Meet the Teacher Night! 🎒📒✏️ I will share more about that in a future post.

I created a PDF file of all the images and letters I used to create this "POP in to See the School Counselors" display. You can access the file by clicking here or on the image above.

For my display I printed the popcorn full size and the letters and words two to a page. If you want to make yours larger scale you can print everything actual size.

Do you do a themed bulletin board for the year?

Take What You Need, Give What You Can Sticky Note Board

Image
Last year, I saw a lot of "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" Bulletin Boards popping up everywhere. I decided to fuel my new found love of printing on sticky notes and make a sticky note version. The idea behind the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" board is that you take a positive message that you "need" to hear or "give" (write) a positive or uplifting message for someone else to take. I displayed the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board on a window near the school counseling office. A traditional bulletin board could also be used to display this sticky note board.  I created 18 different positve messages to print on sticky notes for the "Take What You Need" side of the board. To make this "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board, you will need the following items: A printer Printer paper to print the sticky

Spring Mindfulness Bulletin Board with QR Codes

Image
I created this colorful, interactive, spring bulletin board for our March & April PBIS theme, mindfulness. I made this bulletin board interactive for students by adding QR Codes with different mindfulness activities. Since most things need to be touch-less right now, I thought using QR Codes would be an easy way for students to access some mindfulness activities. If you are not familiar with QR Codes, QR stands for Quick Response. QR Codes are scannable with a smart device camera (iPad, tablet, or smart phone). you can easily make your own QR codes by using a QR Code generator. You can link the QR Code to a website or online document. When the user scans the QR Code they will be directed to the link. I used  QR Code Generator  to create the QR Codes.  I got the idea for this bulletin board while looking for mindfulness resources. I stumbled upon a New York Times article about "Pinwheel Breathing." This sent me down a rabbit hole of brainstorming a

FREE Career Interest Games and Inventories on VA Career View

I have been searching for fun and interactive career activities to facilitate with students this year. I rediscovered  Virginia Career View , which has a wealth of computer based and printable career activities. I have used this website many times, but each time I visit I am surprised by how truly awesome this site is. In the K-5 Section of  Virginia Career View  there is an interactive game called  Career Town ! I used the  Career Town  game with some 5th grade students last year and they loved it. Career Town has three levels with different games to learn about jobs on each level.  The  Career Town  has an educators guide  for each "level' of the game. The  educators guide  has ideas of how you can utilize the game to meet standards and includes ideas for extension activities.  In the 6-8 Grade section, there is a career cluster assessment activity called "Who R U?" . It is web-based. The Virginia Career View website also has printable resources tho
