Lately, artwork has been taking over our household. So, I created a simple system for displaying it.
Here are my top 3 locations for displaying artwork:
Location 1: The Doors
Our main doors are metal and magnetic, creating the perfect spot to hang a few of our collages throughout the month. I like to display them with the included inspirational photographs and the words/names of what they have created. I think this helps to enhance our literacy rich environment.
Location 2: Our Bulletin Board
We inherited a bulletin board with our house. If you are looking for one, I have seen quite a few for sale on Facebook Marketplace and on Craigslist lately. In my classroom I've often hung student artwork in a row, like a patchwork quilt, but I had a better idea at home.
I decorate the background of our bulletin board to look like the theme for each month. Throughout the month I add my childrens' artwork to the board as they create it. We build our bulletin board as we go. At the end of the month, I take down the artwork and set up the bulletin board for the next theme.
Location 3: Binders
At the end of the month we put our artwork away. I place some of my children's favorite pieces in page protectors inside binders. These are great to refer back to. My 6-year-old uses the labels on each page to help her spell words when she writes in her journal. These are great conversation starters and portfolio's to keep for a lifetime.
