This is something I did in my classroom this year when I was talking to my preschool class about how we are all different, yet the same. It is a wall display of the children in my preschool classroom. The children were asked to search for their own eyes and when the parents came in later that day, I asked them to find their child's eyes too!

Documentation is now in the mainstream of education literature, research and practice. The Ontario government supports the use of documentation in early years settings and this is evident on the OE.
There are three essential elements to the documentation process– OBSERVE, DOCUMENT and INTERPRET(ATION). This post explores how to move in this direction, without overly focusing on the display aspects of a project.
Beautiful display of documentation within a Reggio Inspired classroom. Many natural components are added to enhance and capture the audience's attention,

The Curious Kindergarten | Welcome to The Curious Kindergarten, a blog about the discoveries my students and I make in our full-day kindergarten! A bit about me: I have been teaching Kindergarten for several years and have recently started implementing some philosophies from Reggio Emilia into my classroom.

I had already thought of this, but love that it's not all paper work! Love the idea of student pictures up year round in their display space. Also love the neutral tones to keep the focus on student work.
I am just in the midst of finishing my book on Early Years Display and thought I would share this lovely display idea that I came across at Ladybrook Primary.
Have kids email you a picture of their family OR bring in a picture the first week of school.
