Rock the Test Bulletin Board Idea
- Background: Black bulletin board paper.
- Title: "Rock the Test!"
- Border: Music themed border or complimentary colored/patterned trimmer.
- Decoration: Use word processing software to craft and print mini-posters of each test taking tip/strategy. Use construction paper in various vibrant colors to create borders and arrange the advice around the board. Add music note cutouts, musical instrument accents, or even inflatable instruments like Mary Ann did to complete the look of the board!
