Bulletin Board Classroom Letters - Print Your Own

How to Use Bulletin Boards to Your Advantage

Bulletin boards are a surefire way to spark inspiration and deliver important information without pulling your students’ attention away from learning. 

But whether you create a board to welcome fresh-faced students on the first day or curate a bulletin spread for a change in units, keeping your display clean is a must.

What do we mean by “clean”?

Teachers that tack too much content on their bulletin boards risk diverting attention or overwhelming students with clashing fonts and difficult-to-comprehend graphics.

On the other hand, Sproutbrite’s printable board letters are clean, vibrant, and versatile, allowing you to stay organized while distributing visual information. 

That is not to say you should abandon creativity and inviting designs altogether — just be deliberate with themes, materials, and layouts to reap the benefits of a well-thought-out board. 

Dynamic Designs You Can Try with Bulletin Board Letters

As you brainstorm designs for your bulletin board, try to stay dynamic: Use the space wisely and with purpose instead of throwing material on without intention.  

Bulletin boards are there for a reason: To grab students’ attention in the appropriate context. So, whether you use Sproutbrite printable letters to write out inspiring quotes or outline your weekly classroom schedule, the end goal should help guide learning.

Ultimately, there’s no limit to how you can throw together a bulletin board. The process can be intimidating for teachers as they begin to plan out designs. However, don’t let that stop you from building the best board you can — try on new ideas, like these classroom decor tips below.

Kick-Start Student Motivation with Inspiring Quotes

One way to make the most out of your classroom decor and bulletin board is by using impactful quotes. 

Though throwing a phrase or two on your walls does not make it a lesson, thoughtful passages — especially those that match unit material — are helpful educational tools.

Implementing Interactive Boards

Creating an interactive layout is an excellent option to use bulletin boards to their full advantage.

By setting up your board to allow students to interact with the material, you can help engage young learners. The options for interactive layouts are endless: Opt for a word-of-the-day spreadsheet, a daily brain-teaser, or a count-down calendar for upcoming events.

For example, you could use the Sproutbrite Kindness Matters spread alongside printable letters and ask that your students write one way they’ve been kind throughout the day. 

However you decide to spruce up your classroom with these bulletin board letters, getting your students involved will make it worth every ounce of effort.

The Art of the Announcement

If you’d prefer to save student interaction for your well-planned lessons, consider plastering upcoming and must-see announcements on your board. 

Maybe you use our printable letters to outline approaching deadlines or quizzes. Or, you could decorate your board to announce student birthdays or a change in seasons.

Regardless, using bulletin boards as a space for announcements is the perfect way to combine practicality and creative design. 

Sharing Student Successes

Curating a space that celebrates young learners and their hard work is critical in building student confidence and courage. However, doing so tastefully can pose a challenge. 

Instead of littering your class with clusters of potentially distracting projects, consider dedicating your bulletin board to your student’s successes. Sharing artwork, projects, and other work (with permission, of course!) can show your students you are proud of their efforts.

Quick Tip: Sharing scores of any kind on classroom walls is a recipe for disaster, so steer clear of graded work and stick to more creative assignments to eliminate hurt or embarrassed feelings.
