"Cover the bulletin board with dark blue paper. Cover the bottom third with green paper that is cut to look like a hilly, grassy area. Give students a die cut body shape to color and a 12 x 12 piece of colored construction paper. Have them fold two corners of the paper in the midline to form a diamond, or kite shape. Students should then write the name and author of a favorite book on the kite, and their initials on their body. Attach their child shapes to the grassy area and the kites to the sky area, anbd connect them with a colorful piece of yarn. Title the bulletin board "Books That Soar."
