Bulletin Boards

From Jim Harris books!

Brightening up your classroom?  Here are some bright new images for your bulletin board, wall or door from  Jim Harris picture books.    

Make a  DOG Breeds  Bulletin Board, with art from  the counting book, Ten Little Puppies:  Ten dog breeds ready to print and use.  (These are also available in a version without breed names in the flashcard section.)

Or create a “MY PET!” Wall Display by printing out a colorful  “My Dog,” or “My Cat”, or “My Pet” card  (mix and match from ten different multi-colored borders) for each child in your classroom.  Each card has  space for the name of the child’s pet, with an area for each child to glue a photo or draw a picture of his or her pet, and a “LOVED BY ME” space for the child’s name.
