Ma famille

I decided to snap some pictures of our bulletin board before I took it down today. These are our "Ma famille" posters. Students had to write 5 sentences describing their families using appropriate masculine/feminine adjectives and possessive pronouns (mon, ma, mes). They did a really great job and I love how they made it their own! I had students make their families as robots, mermaids, cats, royalty and others who decided that they would like to add an extra pet or two! I love how allowing the students to have creative liberty helps them buy in. :) The projects are actually pop outs, which look best displayed on a shelf or counter. Unfortunately counter/shelf space in my room is hard to come by so I had to use the good ol' bulletin board.
(Random unrelated thought that just came to mind: I bet that one day bulletin boards will be replaced by ginormous digital picture frames. Could you imagine how much easier that would be to "tear down" in June and set up in September?! Plus it would be so easy to switch your borders that I would actually change the theme seasonally like those crazy primary teachers! ;)





I know it's a little last minute, but does anyone have any ideas for a creative mother's day project?
