A year long wall decoration from the kids
By Reane

At the beginning of each month the students write. They can write about anything they want as long as it's school appropriate. Be sure to have each name and date their samples. I make a wall space/ bulletin board with a single
paper size space for each student. I personally just have a trim around the outside and have the papers hanging. (nothing fancy) Each month I add the lastest sample on top of the other examples. During the year, I use the wall to illustrate growth, for conferences, etc. At any time you can walk over with a parent and they can see their child's progress. In June I take all the samples,

bind them and give them to the parents as a gift. I have done this for years, it's greatly appreciated by kids and parents alike. After years of doing this, here's a couple of clues make sure the papers are not low on the walls being there all year they might get ruined and I only push pin on the top of the papers so one can easily flip back to September at any time. If you have any questions, just email me.
