 * Welcome** **Bulletin Boards**

toc These beginning-of-the-school-year bulletin boards (or posters) help to create a warm classroom environment - a קְהִלָּה / //kehillah// (community). For more welcome bulletin boards/posters, visit our website at [|www.jecc.org/teachercenter]or give us a call, 216-377-6000.


 * Using a Welcome Bulletin Board:**
 * Begin the school year with the center object. On the first day of school, have students write his/her name on the smaller objects. Hang them on the bulletin board.
 * Ask the students to answer a specific question (favorite food, favorite holiday, number of brothers/sisters). S/He writes the answer on the small object. Hang them on the bulletin board. At a later date, have the students guess who said what.
 * If this bulletin board is a place where your students can reach it, use the bulletin board as an attendance chart. Laminate the smaller object and attach a piece of velcro. Each morning, each student places his/her piece on the bulletin board. The objects not on the bulletin board are your absent students.
