Your classroom’s bulletin board is an intriguing focal point that plays an important part in educating and exciting your students. These creative ideas for fall bulletin board sets are not only simple and fun, but your students will think they’re fantastic! These ideas are also a great way to get your students involved in making colorful, educational classroom decorations.

Giant Sunflower

Late summer and early fall are the time of year when sunflowers are at their peak. Beautiful sunflowers are a source of food for humans, birds, squirrels and other animals, and their size makes them seem quite majestic, especially to small children.

A large sunflower can be constructed from yellow, orange and green construction paper and affixed to the center of the bulletin board. Then, poetry, short quotes about the season, child poetry, short stories or even fall-themed vocabulary words can be placed around the sunflower.

For the sunflower-themed border, trim it with smaller sunflowers without the stems or make a garland of dried flowers of any kind for the border. In addition, sunflower seeds can be used for decoration and as a math manipulative.

Deciduous Trees

What kinds of deciduous trees grow where you live? Make a fall bulletin board set utilizing the different types of deciduous trees and their leaves. Tree names also make great vocabulary words, so add the names of the trees to the decoration as well.

Simple tree trunks can be created by the students from brown construction paper or even newsprint to make the appearance more unique. Then, use a mixture of bright-colored construction paper leaves and real leaves of all shapes and sizes to cover the tree trunks on the bulletin board.

Leaves also make a great border for this theme. Or, you may want to make a seed-themed border to show the different seed casings for each deciduous tree. Acorns and other strange seed pods are easy to find lying under the trees in early fall. Take a walk around the campus with your students to see how many different types you can find to add to your decoration.

Cheerful Cornucopia

Fall’s harvest symbolizes a time for celebrating nature’s bounty. Great a giant cornucopia as a bulletin board set. Then, invite your students to fill it with as many different autumn objects as they can find. These can include both real and created versions of squash, pumpkins, corn, gourds, leaves, pine cones and seeds.

Encourage your students to help make the decorations dynamic! Ask them to get creative and add other natural items to the cornucopia that you might not normally consider. You can also use a selection of items from the cornucopia as spelling words for older students, placing these words on the bulletin board around the cornucopia or creating a bulletin board border out of words chosen by your students about what fall means to them.

These bulletin board ideas for classroom decorations will help to make your classroom fall-fabulous!

Jennifer Dobson invites you to take a look at a great teacher supply store, MPM School Supplies, where you will find all kinds of resource books, classroom decorations, school furniture, classroom rugs, educational toys, and much more. The best part is by shopping at MPM School Supplies you are helping children in need all around the world because 50% of the gross profits are donated to children’s charities!

I’ve been looking for a cheap, reasonably priced Go set so that I can learn and practice the game. I would play online, but I’m uncomfortable with the prospect when I’m such a beginner.
I want a 19×19 board as opposed to the 9×9 or 13×13, so that I don’t have to buy another board later on. A double-sided board is okay, but a vinal one is not. I would also prefer that the stones be double-convex instead of single.

A better solution might be to get a computer program that lets you play Go. I made my own Go board out of paper and pennies. I spray painted the pennies white and black. It turned out OK, but when I showed it to my Chinese friends they thought it was funny because I used pennies. They said I should have used Chinese coins because the value is less.

I think Books a Million and Barnes and Nobles sells Go sets.

Getting started is one of the most exciting phases in the model train hobby. Should your train set take over the whole house or settle for just one room? If you opted for the whole house, please speak with your wife before swinging the sledge hammer.

It is good to dream big, but patience is often required before dreams become reality. Most of us have to deal with the reality of limited amounts of space, money and time. Adapting to these realities will help you make your first decisions, where to put your set and how much space to devote to it.

Another decision is selecting a brand train sets. Should you purchase a Lionel model train set or go with another brand? Lionel is by far the leading brand, but other brands such as Bachmann, Athearn, Hornby and others have been around a long time too and have many happy customers. If you are not sure, Lionel is a safe place to start.

So do we have some momentum going yet? The next decision is choosing between complete train sets or individual components. Most beginner hobbyists start with complete train sets while the more serious railroaders opt for buying individual components. Complete sets are cheaper and save you time with shopping. Buying components costs more and requires you to gather more information before buying. Whether you choose to go with sets or components, it is recommended to play it safe by purchasing well-known brand, such as a Lionel model train. You might save a few dollars with a lesser known brand but you might not get the quality you want.

Once you have all of your components, start by spreading them around on the table that will be used for the layout. Be sure you have all the pieces; if not, contact the hobby store for directions. Most train set kits contain an engine, cars, track, and a power pack. Directions for assembly and wiring are included in the package.

You will need the right surface for your model train track. Carpeting doesn’t work well. A simple wood surface works the best. The recommended minimum layout size is 5′ x 8′ as this will provide enough space to curve the track. Smooth wood works best but if there are knots you can generally curve your track around them.

Covering the board with a green felt helps hold scenery and track in place during set-up and ongoing improvements. The green felt also provides a grassy look to any board that isn’t specifically set up with scenes. Additionally, green felt might cover up imperfections in the wood.

Lay out some pieces of track on the table. Look at the ends to verify which ends fit together. Be sure that the “rail joiners” are not broken or damaged. These metal pieces (or ends) have a dual purpose: they allow electricity to move throughout the track and ensure that the rails align properly. Connecting the tracks correctly helps keep the tracks in place and could prevent some derailments. Move the pieces around until you have a set-up that you like. Fasten the track to the board with track pins.

Next, you will need to wire the track. One rail is the positive side and the other rail is the negative side. These two rails combine to provide all the needed electricity for your train sets and scenery. Pay attention when connecting your tracks to ensure that you don’t mix the polarity. Connect one end of the wires to the track (or use prewired joiners). The other end will connect to the power-pack. Be sure that the power pack is unplugged before connecting any wires.

Once the wiring is complete, place your Lionel model train engine on the track and connect several cars. Be sure the wheels are aligned correctly on the track. Plug in the power-pack and advance the throttle slowly. If the train goes forward, you hooked up the wiring correctly. If the train goes backward, unplug the power-pack, switch the wires, and restart the train.

Run your train to ensure that all your connections are properly set up. Test the train by running it at different speeds; in some cases, you may have to increase the radius of the curve to prevent derailments. Before you fasten tracks down, be sure the layout is the way you want it.

Now you are ready to enjoy your train set. As you gain experience, you can add tracks, curves, hills, and interlocking train sets. Reversing sections of tracks is helpful for backing up and disconnecting train cars. Have fun!

I’m in the early stages of setting up a non profit organization about AIDS. How do I set up the board of directors? What experience or background do the board members need? Where do I get these people? How different do their backgrounds need to be? Sorry I’m asking so many questions at once, but please answer any or all of them. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I’m in the United States, but the charity will be set up in Kenya.

Are you in the United States? If so, you are probably setting up at 503(c)(3). Below is a Wikipedia link on how those work. If this is the first time you have set one up, I suggest you get a lawyer with a strong background in charities before you go any further.

The Seafarers of Catan expansion pack is an addition for the original Settlers of Catan board game. You must have the original game to use the expansion pack. The Seafarers expansion pack allows the addition of two more players, so instead of 4 players you can have 5 or 6. While players noted that the additional players make the game longer, they enjoyed the challenge that more players added and did not consider longer play a problem. The expansion pack also adds complexity and more elements to the original.

The Seafarers pack includes 14 additional edge pieces that expand the original board. 24 more hexagonal tiles, 12 harbor markers, 10 number markers, 8 victory point markers, 61 wooden ships and a rule book.

The rule book contains “maps”, or different ways in which the board may be set up for play. Unlike the original game, the set up of the board is not random. While it can be set up in different ways, you use the “maps” to determine the set up. Another difference is the gold hexes which are akin to wild cards. Gold hexes allow a player to choose which resource he wants rather than receiving the resource based on the hex.

Players in Seafarers can build ships which must be placed next to a city or another ship. Sea lanes are formed with ships and count as roads. A player can get a longest road card with a sea lane. Sheep, which usually were overabundant at the end of the original game, can be used for ships. The relationship between ships and roads can be a bit confusing. You can’t connect a ship to a road, although ships are somewhat analogous to roads.

A pirate ship has been added to the game which acts much like the robber in the original game. The pirate ship is black and players cannot cross the hex that the pirate ship rests on. The pirate ship can also can take player resources.

All in all, Seafarers follows the rules of the original game fairly closely. It adds less strategy than the Cities and Knights expansion pack, which some players prefer. The two expansions can be used together for 4, 5 or 6 players.

There is some complaint among players that the Seafarers Expansion pack changes the paradigm of the game because the board is no longer random. However the scenarios, while removing the random factor, give the game a more balanced feel. They also offer victory conditions, not present in the original game, which many players do like.

For more advanced players this Settlers of Catan expansion pack offers a new approach and for less advanced players it follows most of the rules from the original game so that it is not difficult to learn. The majority of fans of the game approve of Seafarers with very few reservations, the biggest complaint being the scenarios as opposed to the random board set up. Game reviewers gave the Seafarers Expansion Pack overall positive reviews.

I’m just a gal that really loves board games! Seafarers of Catan Expansion Pack happens to be my favorite. Thought I’d share some cool thoughts about the game. If you’re looking to buy Settlers of Catan, I can’t recommend it enough.

i want to set up my new dart board without using screws
is there any sort of sticky stuff i could use as a substitute?
this would really help please!

If you are trying to mount a tournament-style dart board, no amount of glue of any kind will hold it up by itself. Believe me, I’ve tried. However, I have found that attaching a hook to the top screw hole in your dart board and then hanging it on a door or similar contrivance works very well. You will have to place a tacky substance on the hook where it contacts the door and around the board itself to keep it from sliding when you hit it with darts. Even with the tacky stuff, though, you may have to reset it each time you hit it so it remains level. – LJS
