Star Boards

I love all of the cute bulletin board displays that teachers put up or the cute borders and sets I see in the store but I hate putting the time and effort into changing displays just to show off student work. I wanted a more permanent way to display student work that I could change as often as I would like. It is so important to display the student's work for their motivation, so people can see what types of work you are doing in your classroom and for FUN!
I used the wooden clipboards I purchased from Walmart (cheaper than at Target, less than $2/piece), the duct tape in fun colors (a set) that I purchased at Target (around $5.00 for two colors and thinner rolls), and the super student star badge stickers I purchased from Walmart to make a "Star Board" display for student work. I will hang these clipboards onto the wall and add the student's name onto their clipboard. Now, I can easily add that student's best work of the day up on their Star Board for everyone to see! I can change this as often as I want and it will last all year. It looks neat and I bet the kids will be excited to have their own Star Board.

Here is the step-by-step. I will add the student's name in the teal duct tape line along the bottom. The Super Student star badge stickers are just for fun when the board is empty it will still look very nice and make the kids feel great about the work they are going to put on their Star Board! The one package of Scotch Duct Tape had both of the colors included (see Shopping Spree post and you can see what the package looks like) and those two rolls were just enough to complete the project (almost ran out of Star print but made all 8 with it!) Had some teal leftover (which I used-wait till next post!). 

Here are all 8 completed boards side by side. I think they look great and it will make a great display! I will keep them up all year round and add work to it daily/weekly/per unit. I think you could also use these boards for other various purposes: behavior management, to do daily work with, etc. It makes an ordinary clipboard very fun!
