Classroom Displays Can
Motivate Your Students!!

Classroom displays help to make your classroom a stimulating and motivating environment in which to learn! I know I've said it before but it really is important.

Aside from classroom bulletin boards there are other places in the room where students' work can be displayed.

Look around your classroom and try to utilize all areas, without making the room too busy and claustrophobic.

Here are some of my classroom display ideas which really brightened up my classroom and made my students proud:

* I had a room where one side had a counter top. So I used it to display projects, diaramas and student models.

* Use the side or front of students' desks to hand their work for display.

* Hang displays (for example, planets) from the ceiling with string and paper clips. Just make sure you check your school's fire regulations before you do anything.

* On one side of the room tie a rope or a clothes line from one end to the other. Clip up (with clothes pegs or paper clips) students' art or other work.

* Depending on your blackboard space, put up some unit information, for example on the Canadian provinces.

* You can also use the space below the chalk ledge or side walls for other display ideas that you or your students may have.

* I'm a very positive person who is always looking for posters that convey positive messages for student motivation. I place these types of posters on my classroom door - front and back and around my room.

* My classroom job chart creature (e.g. octopus displaying jobs on each tentacle) was also displayed along with my classroom rules, grammar rules, creative writing information which were all printed on chart paper or on colorful posters.

I am sure that you realize there are other things to display besides student work and unit information.
