A classroom bulletin board is often the focal point in the classroom and can be used as a great learning tool. Bulletin boards are an important component of the classroom and can relay information to students as well as reinforce lessons. Therefore, bulletin boards in the classroom also provide a way to introduce new material or display student work. The bulletin board should be both engaging and educational. When materials are posted on the bulletin board, students should recognize the importance of the posted materials.
Bulletin boards should be changed frequently and relate to concepts that are currently being covered in class. Also, a bulletin board should build interest, motivate the class by drawing attention to every child’s work at some point during the year. There should be interaction by students who can move pieces around on the board. Interactive bulletin boards add more excitement. They can also be used to review information.
