Ideas For September Bulletin Boards
Whether you’re a teacher, an administrator, or just someone who wants to make their work environment more fun and engaging, every September is the perfect time to create a bulletin board that celebrates the start of a new school year. Here are some ideas for bulletin boards that will help set the tone for your new semester.
Happy Labor Day
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws, and well-being of their country. Labor Day was created by the Labor Union Movement in 1887 . The holiday was promoted by organized labor as a means to celebrate their own social progress while gaining public support for an eight-hour workday.
First day of school
First day of school bulletin boards are great for getting the kids excited about the new year. They can be used as a way to showcase student work, sports, and other achievements throughout the year.
- Show off students’ work by displaying their best projects from preschool through high school (including art projects, science fairs and more).
- Get your mascot involved with your first day of school bulletin board! Create a “welcome” sign using pictures of all the teachers and staff members along with their names or titles (such as Principal Smith) in order to celebrate what makes each person special to that building or community. Adding red white blue stars would be another fun way to incorporate patriotic colors into this design element while also paying homage to its purposeful location right before classrooms begin opening again after summer break ends…
Back To School

- Use a chalkboard background. Chalkboards are great for any school theme, and you can use them to create a fun chalkboard or even paint the entire background of your bulletin board in chalkboard paint.
- Use a chalkboard frame. You can display worksheets, posters or photos in an old-fashioned frame on the wall behind your bulletin board to coordinate with the overall theme. This is also a great way to save money on frames if you have some extra ones lying around that need new homes!
- Use a border with both chalkboard and regular paper options inside (you’ll have one side with regular paper, one side with chalkyness). This is especially useful if you’re planning on displaying both printed materials as well as writing messages that are meant for children’s eyes only (because nothing will ruin their day more than accidentally reading something private!).
Get ready for the new semester, with a stylish design and motivational message.
With the fall comes a new semester, and what better way to get students excited about a new term than with a stylish design and motivational message?
First, it’s important to determine what kind of bulletin board theme you’d like to use. Do you want to use one that incorporates the school colors or mascot? Is there an upcoming holiday that could be used as inspiration? Think about how this will impact your choice of fonts, colors, etc.
Here are some ideas for Fall-themed themes:
- Pumpkin Spice Latte – This can be done in many different ways, but we like this version because it uses gold foil on white paper to create the image of a latte mug filled with pumpkin spice goodness! You could also do this with other types of mugs (like coffee cups) if you don’t have any actual latte mugs lying around.
- Leaves Are Falling Down – All About Autumn Background Paper is perfect for making leaves fall down around your classroom! The set comes with three different colored backgrounds (for orange/red leaves), dark brown trees, light green grasses and blue sky elements. It would be simple for you to add some glitter around each leaf so that they stick out from other parts of your bulletin board display!
Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down
September is a great time to get out and enjoy the warm weather, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. You can go on a hike, have a picnic, or take your bike for a spin—or all three!
Fall is an exciting time because it’s the perfect opportunity to be outside without having to worry about getting cold (or hot). The air is just right and you can see all sorts of colors. It really does feel like fall here in North America. We’re lucky enough not only get four seasons but also enjoy each one for what it offers us: cool breezes during summer days, crisp mornings during winter months…and also milder temperatures throughout springtime and autumn times as well.
Add some festive fall colors to your class.
You can also add some festive fall colors to your class. This will help your students get into the spirit of fall and you can use it to teach them about autumn or Halloween. You can use orange, yellow, and brown colors to create a design around the board or in various places on it. You can also use these colors to create a background for any bulletin board ideas that you have for September. If you want to do both then add borders around each part so they’ll stand out even more!
If you’re looking at other ways that we’ve used in our classrooms before then check out our Pinterest page where we have tons of examples from years past as well as ones we did just last month!
Celebrate the first day of fall!
Fall is the perfect time to explore your creativity. You can make a bulletin board that shows off fall colors, or you can create a bulletin board with pictures of your favorite things about fall. Get together with friends and family and decorate a large bulletin board together! Fall also gives you an opportunity to get organized in different ways: maybe it’s time for some cleaning, or maybe it’s time to take inventory of what you have been storing away all summer long. It’s also ideal for beginning new routines that will help keep you healthy throughout the winter months like eating better food, drinking more water, exercising regularly (or even just walking more), etc…
Be Prepared and Have a Fantastic Fall!
As you prepare to welcome the new school year, it’s important to think about what your bulletin board will look like. You may be thinking, “A bulletin board? Why do I need one?” But we’ve been doing this long enough to know that a well-designed bulletin board can be an excellent tool for student engagement and learning.
We rounded up some ideas for September bulletin boards so you can get started right away!
Make bulletin boards that show how much you care.
When it comes to bulletin boards, the possibilities are endless. You can create them in a variety of ways, and they can be used across the school year to promote student learning in all subject areas. In this article, we’ll look at some of the most common types of bulletin boards and how they might be used in your classroom.
- The rules are simple: 1) No talking on social media during class; 2) No talking during movies; 3) No laughing at mean jokes said by people who don’t know us personally (and then sharing those jokes with our friends).
- A list of things that make us happy as a class (or individual)
- A list of things that make us upset as a class (or individual)
We hope these board ideas will help you make the most of your bulletin board. You can choose from a variety of different designs, whether they’re themed or non-themed. We also included some tips on how to create the design yourself if you don’t have a lot of experience with designing boards.
