Bulletin Board

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

We LOVE getting work from students who share what they learned from BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr!  BrainPOP Jr’s Bulletin Board is a great place to kick off a K-3 lesson with some inspiration. Please encourage your students to submit any BrainPOP Jr. inspired art, writing, or videos so we can expand their audience and publish them on BrainPOP for the world to see! Of course we’re also eager to share teacher-created materials, so keep those lesson plans, graphic organizers, and video tutorials coming!
