Spring Hallway Display Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bee Honeycombs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These clever honeycomb shapes are perfect to display writing, research, drawings, or even bee facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make the honeycomb<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Using a ruler draw a hexagon on a sheet of yellow construction paper. These lines will be the fold lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Using the ruler again, draw lines to make a larger hexagon about an inch out from the first lines you drew. These will be the cut lines<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Cut out the hexagon on the outer lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Cut at each point of the hexagon from the outer to the inner line. This will allow you to fold up the sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Fold inward on the inner lines and crease to form the sides of the honeycomb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Open the sides and tape each corner together so they stand up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Staple each completed honeycomb so they look connected on the wall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To make the writing paper:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Draw a hexagon shape slightly smaller than the honeycomb hexagon on copy paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Draw handwriting lines for students to write on inside the shape<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Make copies for students to write on and have them cut out the writing paper when finished.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Glue inside the honeycomb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. For longer writing, give students more than one page and have them staple the pages together at the top after they are cut out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Apply glue to the back of the bottom writing page and press it inside the honeycomb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Fold inward on the inner lines snipping the point.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Leapin\u2019 Life Cycles! Frog Pond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Another Spring hallway display idea is to make your bulletin boards pop! Display frog life cycle crafts, research writing, or drawings in a \u201cpond\u201d complete with cattails! I used this life cycle of a frog writing craft<\/a> that is differentiated for younger and older students with regular easy-cut templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To make the background look like a pond I used light blue bulletin board paper to represent water (Fabric works great, too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Frog<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To make the cattails:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Twist green bulletin board paper to form the stem and leaves. Twist sheets of brown construction paper to make the top seed pod of the cattail. Staple the cattails to the side of the bulletin board or display area. Arrange student work in the \u201cpond\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Plant Life Cycle Lapbooks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If you teach a unit on the life cycle of plants the foldable flower booklet<\/a> included in this plant science unit makes a colorful garden for students to show what they\u2019ve learned. Inside the booklets are diagrams of the parts of a plant and stages of the life cycle. Students also write what they have learned about photosynthesis, seed dispersal, pollination, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n

      Cloud Types Writing Craft<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Add clouds to your hallway display so students can show what they know about cloud types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Cloud<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Download this FREE Cloud Type Writing Template<\/a>. Students stretch cotton balls to model different types of clouds and then write a description of the cloud type they chose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Butterfly Kids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Kids love to make crafts using their pictures! Take a picture of each student, print them in black and white, and turn them into butterflies! Download these FREE Butterfly Flower Writing Templates<\/a> with directions for adding tissue paper wings and turning your students into butterflies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n

      \"Butterfly<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Butterfly Life Cycle Graphs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Every year we raise butterflies in the classroom<\/a> and learn about the life cycle. To incorporate math into our butterfly science unit<\/a> we graph the butterfly life cycle<\/a>. Students each get their own caterpillar to observe and they count the number of days each stage takes. Students represent their data in class bar graphs and pictographs on chart paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, let’s get creative! Get your students involved, throw in some glitter and glue, and let’s make your bulletin boards pop<\/a>! If you\u2019ve enjoyed these Spring hallway display ideas please share this post with your teacher friends on social media!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
