May Bulletin Board Idea #1: Summer Bulletin Board

"We Had The Berry Best Year" summer bulletin board. My favorite May Bulletin Board Idea for every classroom!

Is there anything sweeter than summertime?! Adding this cheerful Strawberry Summer Bulletin board will brighten your classroom and put a big smile on your student’s faces! 

These bright, red, juicy berries will add color to your classroom! The berries are editable so that you can add your student’s names to make them feel valued and included in the classroom family.

Sometimes it is hard to find sunshine moments at the end of the year, so let me make the sunshine for you! Adding these little sun accents will go great with this summer bulletin board!

Bulletin board borders to match the "We Had A Berry Sweet Year!"

My favorite way to make bulletin boards look complete is by adding a border that brings the entire look together! I love using the rectangle borders and adding the scalloped border trims for even more color! Layering borders is the perfect way to create a unique look! 

The retro checkered borders are so trendy right now! Imagine pairing the pink and red checkered border with the scalloped red or pink border!? It would be the perfect duo! 

 Which border would you use to spruce up your Summer bulletin board?

Now, let’s be honest… as the school year is ending, the last thing you probably want to do is change your classroom decor. But what if I told you I created a resource that is so easy, and all you have to do is print, cut, and hang?! 

My Summer Posters are simple to set up and will bring the bright sunshine to your classroom!

Step 1: Download the resource.

Step 2: Decide which posters are your favorite.

Step 3: Click print. Cut around the outside border. Use staples or tacks to hang to your bulletin board. Boom, you are done!!

In less than 10 minutes, you have created a fresh new bulletin board that looks incredibly cute! My favorite part is that you can buy these with another bulletin board and just put the posters up around your room. Teacher desk, front door, walls, wherever! You’ll love how they brighten up your space and put a smile on your face!

Another bonus about the printable posters is that you can use them again year after year! Now, let the sun shine bright on your happy summer classroom!

May Bulletin Board Idea #3: Summer Vibes Board

Summer means happy times and good sunshine! Nothing screams summer like vibrant colors and fresh fruit! This adorable Pineapple Summer Bulletin will bring tropical vibes into your classroom! It is the perfect change of scenery to burst your room with summer dreams and sunshine! 

One of my favorite ways to customize this summer bulletin board is by adding accents! The circle pieces would be cute strung on a ribbon or placed straight across the top or bottom of the board to add more pops of color! The big, vibrant hearts are another great way to brighten the board!

When I can add personal touches to my classroom, like photos of my students, artwork they have created, or showcasing their work, they often take more pride in their space! 

I love adding my student’s names or photos to bulletin boards! With this summer bulletin board kit, I have created customizable pineapples where you can type your student’s names into them! You could even add their photo inside of it, too!
