Reach for the Stars – Back to School Bulletin Board

I hope you are enjoying your first few weeks back to school!   Here is a Reach for the Stars bulletin board my students made as their first art projects.

The tape letters were made by 1st graders.  I don’t know how people use painter’s tape for this technique, because it just caused my paper to rip.  I discovered the Post-it Label Roll (Amazon Affiliate link – goes to support the costs of this blog) which worked great to block out the letters. The kids painted over the label tape with a crayon resist method and then the tape easily peeled off without ripping the paper.

The stars were made by the Kindergarteners.

The collage hands were made by the 3rd/4th grade class.  They traced their hands and then cut out magazine pictures and drew things that they liked or represented themselves.
