Celebrate! Creative, Student-friendly Interactive Boards in the WFP

At the beginning of the school year, Ms. Fonteno challenged Westbury schools to make every space of the school a learning place. Now, every elementary in the WFP boasts of creative, interactive bulletin boards that address TEKS, focus learning, create common understanding, and make sure that hands-on learning happens everywhere in the building. There are over 50 great photos of the work in the slide show below.


I really enjoyed snapping the photos, and admired the ingenuity and creativity of so many talented teachers and students. (I'm working on improving my snapshot skills).

I'd love to give each teacher personal credit for their work. If you designed a board displayed, please send me your name.

Submit photos directly to me, if you have an interactive board to add to the Westbury Feeder Collection.

Mind Map: Where are your thoughts going?



Mind mapping is a great way to access prior knowledge and make connections. Students love the combination of visuals and text.
