Clipboards on a Classroom Wall
This is such a popular and easy way too display your students' work. The clips on the clipboard make it so easy to change out work. You can use colorful clipboards to match your classroom theme or dress up some plain ones.

Clothespins on a Line Bulletin Boards
Another way of displaying work is to use clothespins. Either with a classroom clothesline or just by directly pinning the clothespin to a paper background and then clipping in the work page in the pin. See the two examples below.

Curtain clips with hooks can be used as clothespins for hanging up students' art work. This display idea doubles as a way to air dry their painted artwork.

File Folders with Fasteners on a Wall for Holding Work
Cut colorful file folders in half and trim off some of the top and sides if you don't want the tabs and curved corners showing. At the end of the year, all of your students' papers will be there, on the brads, ready to be sent home as a portfolio! An alternative is to push through fasteners beneath cardstock sheets.
Use a Number System for Displaying Student Work
Each bulletin board clothespin can have a student number assigned to it. The little round number cutouts (like the interactive calendar ones) are commonly used. They come in different color themes that can match your classroom decor. These number circles are for a farmhouse theme.
Make Cardstock Clipboards for 'Coming Soon' Placeholders
You don't have to wait until students have completed their work to prepare the bulletin boards for dislaying them. Make bulletin board placeholders for work that is coming soon. If you don't have the clipboards, you can make your own, using colorful sheets of cardstock and mountable clipboard clips. The cardstock sheets should be bigger than letter sized ones so that their bright colors can be seen around all sides of the students' work when they are added. You can laminate these cardstock sheets before adding the clipboard clips for durability. I put together some helpful laminating tips in this blog post.
