Our art teacher does an amazing job with hall displays! |
Are hall displays really that bad? No, not really. Hall displays don't have to be as hard as we make them out to be. Almost every time I get one done, I realize that it really wasn't as bad as I made it out to be. I guess it is just the BATTLE of getting started.
There are several ways to make a hall display or should I say, several ways to take up that enormous space that is on the other side of your door. If you are like me, time is of the essence! If you don't like to take down the paper, a creative way to keep your displays fresh is to put up clothes pins with the names of each of your students. You can periodically switch out your students' work, which is less time consuming.
See how simple and easy it can be! Kindergarten teachers are so creative! |
You can also step outside of the traditional rectangular cork board. Sometimes, putting work out in a random fashion can be so UNIQUE and ATTRACTIVE.
My colleague, Kelly did an exceptional job displaying what the students learned about cause and effect using sentence strips and artwork. |
It seems so simple, but it makes such a grand statement! |
You can also solicit the support of your students to create posters that can be displayed in the halls year round. Bullying is such a major issue in all schools. It is great to let students create anti-bullying posters to display around the school. Additionally, students can remind other students not to do drugs. Here are a few examples…
There are so many ways that we can tackle hall displays. We really don't have any excuses! I still can't say that I love doing them, but at least I can know that I have several options. If you have any great ideas for hall displays, please feel free to share them.
I love the peace symbol! It is so crafty!! Also, notice the clothes pin idea. I don't think she put the students' names on hers. |
This is another angle of the same display. Unfortunately, I could not get the peace symbol in this one. |
