By Tameka ToI got back to school and found an email waiting for me with these great ideas from Tameka To in Canada. Here is what Tameka says in relation to the displays:
I am a library technician at 3 school libraries in Ontario, CANADA in a city called Brantford and I came across your site one day and it is great. It is nice to finally find somewhere to help me out with new display ideas that are cheap to complete. I have attached a picture of a bulletin board that I put up in one of my schools. Instead of making kites out of paper because I am really not that artistic I just bought them at a dollar store so they were really cheap to buy and then I stapled them up, attached a string and then stapled book covers onto the string. It is great when you have a really big bulletin board to cover. The easiest part was putting up the letters because it is a lot easier to put them up curvy then to get them line up straight on a board!
I have also attached a "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" bulletin board that is very popular since the movie has come out. I just cut out food shapes from construction paper and taped them onto a blackboard in my library. I made peas by using the hole punch and just copied all of the other food from the book. I sat all of the "Meatball" books on the ledge and the kids just loved taking them to sign out.
