Hanging up children's artwork is one of the best ways to encourage a sense of belonging. Put yourself in their shoes: you made your best picture ever. You are so proud and now it's hanging in the classroom! This place is where you belong.
I like to have a special place where kids can see the work of which they are proud. In one of my schools, I had a lot of whiteboards and few bulletin boards! So I used magnets like these to continually hang work throughout the year. I hot glued a clothespin to a Popsicle stick. I wrote the children's names with permanent markers. They decorated their own with puffy pens. Stick a magnet on the back and voila!
