🍎 TEACHER HACK! I found a better way to display student artwork, and I’m never going back!

These magnetic frames make switching out student work SO much easier! No more constantly sticking and unsticking artwork from the wall!

My students love seeing their masterpieces displayed, and I love how easy it is to update our classroom gallery! ❤️

💬 How do you display student artwork in your classroom?
📌 SAVE this idea for your classroom and SHARE it with a teacher friend!

Letting my first graders decide what I should be for Halloween might be dangerous. 😂🎃 I love that this activity combines opinion writing, supporting reasons, creativity, art, and fine-motor skills, and the kids have SO much fun doing it! Even better, it’s a FREE resource from Mrs Munch’s Munchkins on TPT! #FirstGradeTeacher #HalloweenClassroomActivities #TeacherReels #OpinionWriting #FreeTeacherResources
