We think it is very important to display our student's work. This is such an easy way of doing it. Everyday I choose 5-6 student's best work. I then place it on this bulletin board. They're so excited when their paper makes it to Best In The Hive. Everyday we announce who's paper made it on Best In The Hive. They love being recognized.
After we recognize the student's work they choose a bead from the jars. They put a regular bead on until they get five, then they get to put on a star bead. They love being able to put on a star bead plus it helps them learn to count by 5's :0).
We have each child's name on a heart and their strip of beads. We hook them under the white board.
We use Velcro and paper clips to attach the string of beads. This makes it easy for them to take it off and put it on again. At the end of the year. They take home their string of beads and turn it into a necklace. Some of our students get their whole string full by the end of the year. They LOVE getting beads. It's a huge incentive to do their very best on their papers. All I have to say to get best work in my classroom is: I think this paper might be the one that I display on Best In The Hive. Then they all try to do their very best on it.

What a great idea!! We don't have display boards outside our classrooms so our work gets displayed inside the classroom, it's a shame because the parents only get to see the work when they come into the classroom.

Thanks so much!
DeleteI love that idea! I'm sure it makes the kids feel so special :) I'm definitely going to have to make more space on my ridiculously crowded classroom walls.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can find room. It's such and incentive for better work!
DeleteI think this is a wonderful idea especially since my classroom hardly has any bulletin board space! This idea allows all students to be recognized at several points through out the school year. What a great motivator! Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea. Also, I love how you used velcro under your board. The possibilities for storage and decoration are endless with this little trick.
