Summer Grams { A BTS Bulletin Board}

August 11, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

We all know how much teachers LOVE Instagram! I love scrolling through some of my favorite Teacher Blogger Instagrams to get me in the Back to School frame of mind because I don’t start back to school until September.  I love seeing the classroom reveals, new products and suddenly I was struck with an ADORABLE idea that fuses Instagram and Back to School! Student Summer Grams!  As one of our first projects, the students will get the chance to share their Summer Vacation Snapshots on a Summer Gram Bulletin Board!

     Every year my students are eager to tell me the 101 things they did this summer. They LOVE sharing what they do over the summer and I love hearing it because I get to know them a little better. Summer Grams are the perfect way for them to do this because this project is like their own, personal Summer Instagram craft! First,
they will brainstorm their Top
Four Summer Events. 
After that, they will illustrate and explain each of their Summer Grams, using the polaroid sheets provided.  
Finally,  they will glue them onto a construction paper backing when to create a fantastic Summer Gram Flip Book! I plan to hang this up for Back to School Night! #BestBacktoSchoolBulletinBoard (I also included adorable chalkboard bunting to hang with it!)
The best part is that most of them have not written ALL summer and this is a low stress way for them to share how they spent their summer vacation while giving us teachers a window into where they are all at. I am so excited to use these this year!  I am going to have them do a little presentation on one of their Summer Grams to get them in the habit of presenting and to build classroom community.
 You can grab this set here at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store!
