The Cross Curricular Challenge

Several years ago the middle school I was teaching at encouraged every class to create an assignment that involved Language Arts/English.  I couldn't think of anything other than writing a paper.  I can't even remember what it was about.  I am sure it didn't make much of an impact on the students either.  But it checked the box of what my admin was wanting me to do.

Just last year I finally came up with a great idea that would have been SOOO much better.  A little too late for me but maybe it will help you.  FACS really is everywhere- even in Language Arts.  Here are 2 bulletin boards you can display in your classroom to prove it.  You can also print them smaller to use as task cards.  Display one each day to use as a bell ringer or warm up.

Who doesn't love a good idiom?  Like "You're a peach!" or "in a pickle".

 Food Idiom Bulleton Board

Who knew there were sooo many idioms about fashion?  I sure didn't until I started researching.  My favorites are "smarty pants" and "like it's going out of fashion".

 Fashion Idioms

And you can save 25% if you buy them both in the Idioms Bulletin Board Bundle.
