CLOSE-UP

This bulletin board turned out much better than I could have hoped! Using my handy dandy Print Shop software I printed out pictures of cookies with different music terms and their definitions on them. I made a subheading that read "Dynamics" and one that said "Tempo" (in cookie letters, of course) . I glued these to aluminum foil shaped to resemble a pan along with their definition. The cookies I placed on smaller sheets of aluminum foil, napkins, etc.. underneath the correct subheading. I added a few empty (and well rinsed) milk cartons to the sides. The board was attractive and the students went over to it many times to review definitions.

NOTE: In the first picture there is a small subheading in light blue. It read "March is Music in Our Schools Month...Celebrate!" I used this bulletin board to decorate a fifth grade classroom bulletin board as part of the activities that month.

Variations: Use salt dough (1 part water, 1 part salt, 1.5 parts flour) to form real 3-D cookies. Bake them and paint them or cover with a clear coat of finish and attach to the board with hot glue.
