LOVE this idea! I started making borders many years ago, especially when I could not find any cute borders to go with the content subjects we were working on.
The kids each get one sentence strip, we use the back side of the strip. Then fold the sentence strip in half, in half again, and in half again (until there are 8 folded sections total on the sentence strip). We draw a line on each fold and then write a vocabulary word associated with the topic on the bottom and draw and color a picture for the word above the line. The bulletin board display looks great when the borders are handmade!
Hope this is an idea you can use!

This is such a great idea! I am definitely going to use it next year. I am already thinking of which units to do this with. THANK YOU so much for sharing!
My kiddos want to make them with every display! 🙂
