It is September already. I know. Rainy season in Japan is around late May to June. But a co-teacher told me that there are two rainy seasons in Japan. The first one I mentioned and this month, September. In fact, today, as I am writing, it is raining. And also this season is typhoon season. We just had typhoon number 21, typhoon Jebi, the strongest typhoon ever.

This is not about the typhoon as you can see in the title. I am showing you my English Bulletin Board in one of my elementary schools.

I just cut-out light blue thick art paper to form clouds and blue for raindrops. It became the background of the board. I put random things related to rainy season. A frog cut-out, a duck. My favorite part is the colorful umbrella. It serves as the center of attraction. It adds life to the gloomy atmosphere of rainy season.  I reused the flower cut outs from the previous  month display which is spring. I added colorful mushrooms just to add colors and fun. To make it more English related, I labeled all the words for the students to see or read if they can.  On the right side I lined-up a flip-type “What`s this?” I cut-out shapes in the front cover just enough to make a peek of what is inside.

That`s basically all.

Oh, before I forget, the border leaves and grasses are also reused from the spring bulletin board.

Here it is. Take a look. I hope this can help those who are trying to make their English Board and if you think you are better than me or have better ideas, you are very welcome to give advise.
