I saw a link to a site for display ideas on Cindy Putnam’s blog. Teachers, we really love looking at what someone else has done and adapting it for our classroom, don’t we? As I was told over and over again by mentor teachers my first year, “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” Well, I will admit, I like reinventing the wheel now and again. If we didn’t, we’d never come up with novel ideas; however, looking at great things other teachers have done doesn’t hurt anyone, and it might spark the next Great Idea.
Primary Resources Classroom Displays
For some reason, the majority of classroom display photo archives tend to be from the UK or New Zealand. Perhaps one of us American teachers needs to start a collection…
Edit: Well, now that we have completed our first student project exhibition as a school and district-wide initiative, I’ve got some photos of displays from our school.
This page has pictures of student work under “Student Exhibition 2008.”
