I divide up a b-board out in our centrum by stapling laminated colored sheets to the board, like you do, but without the dividers (though using string for that is a good idea and easier than tape, I bet). Each paper has the child's name at the top on a sticker- so I can change the names each year by putting on a new sticker. A slit though the heavy laminated paper holds the binder clip, so that you only have to push on the wire "thingy" to put the kids' work in the clip. We use ours as our writers' wall and at the end of the unit each month, when we have our celebration, we put the new writing piece on top of the old work. Parents can see the latest work, and flip back through the year to get a glimpse of progress. At the end of the year, I send the bundle home as an easily collected portfolio of their best work throughout the year. I posted about it here: http://www.kidpeopleclassroom.com/2014/08/student-writers-wall-makes-for-great.html Thanks for stopping by and sharing your display method-- great minds think alike!

There was a piece of construction paper with the child's name as a place holder. A push pin held a binder clip in place. The work of the week was placed on top of the construction paper. Sometime students chose the work; sometimes we had a themed display. Parents loved knowing right where to look to see their child's newest special creation.<br />Heather from <a href="http://mrsrenzclass.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Renz’ 4th Grade Class</a>a4kokaneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417458330881454236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496760571458860465.post-86146570413511826762014-11-05T23:12:38.666-05:002014-11-05T23:12:38.666-05:00Thanks, Laura.

That was the problem I kept running into, as I have no empty wall... I'll be covering the windows soon : P I'll take a look on your Pinterest page. Thanks for telling me.

I also have a "quilt" display area, courtesy of Pinterest. I usually have one board with a writing sample, one with an art project and one with a math or science/social studies project. I do like the idea of giving them the choice of what they want displayed. I may try that.
