As I make more materials for my English boards, I will add them here! At my base school, I update my English board on a monthly basis, so there is a lot of seasonal content to reflect that. Some of it might seem a bit strange when taken out of the context of my ideas or accompanying paper crafts that aren't in the files, so feel free to ask questions about things and I'll be happy to explain! :)

Hello! I love the June English board materials. I work at a junior high and they do not monitor what I post on the board, however, I am nervous about putting Pride material on the board. I am a queer person myself and I am not out at work, so I do not know what to do. D you have any advice about handling this situation. I would love to share this on my English board.
@CullerTr I had the same nerves as you, so I showed my supervisor JTE the materials and asked her if it's alright if I put them up and she was totally on board! Having a coworker that I know is an ally and will back me up if there is any backlash has really helped ease my anxiety about it. :)
Thanks @sophie. I actually showed my head JTE what I wanted to include on the board, and she did not bat an eye. She was right on board with it. I was so relieved!
@CullerTr that's so wonderful! the other day my school principal approached me and asked if he could post a photo of my board to the school's home page. cheers to spreading love and acceptance :)
Thank you! I really love your June month! It's really easy to understand and all of the images make it even easier to understand. Including Juneteenth is important too! I missed this for June, but was just looking for summer ideas!
Glad to see the discourse above too. That's amazing :)
I'm really interested in your Valentine's Day board about how other countries say "I love you" but I don't understand the document. I only see different flags. Is there other information there? Did you find a way to convert other languages to Katakana?
Thanks for all your work it looks amazing! :)
@kirleyh1 thank you so much! I cut pink hearts out of paper and folded them in half. I pasted the different country names and flags on one of the outer halves of the heart (with the other outer half being attached to the board), and inside, I hand-wrote that country's "I love you," so that onlookers could open the heart and see. I will update the document so that all of the different languages are in there. sorry for the confusion!
Thank you so much @sophie! That is really helpful!
