Each year I like to create a bulletin board above my lockers that welcomes my new students and parents into our classroom each day. One of my main goals is to create something simple, eye-catching, but can be left up all year long! This year, I decided to invite my families to DIVE in!

To add a little extra touch, I created seaweed using Green Paper Streamers. under-the-sea-back-to-school-bulletin-board Outside the classroom door, I created an octopus using purple construction paper. I added a DIY Submarine Bulletin Board Shapes and a Life Preserver Wall Decorations. I love how it looks like the octopus is holding the life preserver! under-the-sea-back-to-school-bulletin-board Above my door, I displayed the adorable Under the Sea Welcome Letters that are a great size and easy to see from down the hallway! I never know what to do in this space and love how this looks. under-the-sea-back-to-school-bulletin-board For locker tags, I used the Under the Sea Desk Plates. They are the perfect size for lockers! I hope I gave you a few ideas to help you dive into the school year!
