Also, I did a Donor's Choose this year for some hallway bulletin boards (didn't have any). So, that's another option! <br />Karen :o)<br /><b><a href="http://mrsstamp.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Stamp's Kindergarten</a></b>Karen Stamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052611284663379867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017952394211536997.post-25028979210957444092012-08-09T17:15:09.958-07:002012-08-09T17:15:09.958-07:00Hot glue works wonders on cement block walls!

Anything but hot glue will result in droopy posters and everything on the floor. I had to learn it the hard way. The best part about using hot glue is that it comes right off after it cools down. Good luck!<br /><br />Your Newest Follower,<br /><br />Lindsey<br /><b><a href="http://fantasticfirstgradefriends.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Fantastic First Grade Friends</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03162308826079580158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017952394211536997.post-81784319761284583472012-08-04T23:43:18.366-07:002012-08-04T23:43:18.366-07:00The hot glue works so well!

I can't wait to see your new room all fancified!<br />I'm teaching Kinders and Firsties reading this year, so I can't wait to see what you do with your babies. I just did a day long Kinder-Camp today and one of the littles said they were so excited to come to their new school. We asked her what was the name of her new school and she said, "My new school is called KINDERGARTEN!"

I know you have gotten a lot of suggestions, but here is another just in case you can't use hot glue in your building (which works great, it is not allowed in mine). It is product called Blu Tack. http://www.blutack.com/ It is amazing and is reusable. It holds things up all year long, comes off clean, and is reusable. I even was able to hold up a 2X3 cork board with a big clump on the back. I share it with everyone I know!! Good luck and I can't wait to see your room completed. :)eah08ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883020220757710480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017952394211536997.post-73335027933754661092012-08-02T16:04:21.281-07:002012-08-02T16:04:21.281-07:00Omg it is so big!
