As winter begins to fade and spring peeks around the corner, March is a powerful time to pause and notice growth—both academic and personal. Students have settled into routines, built skills, and stretched themselves in ways that deserve to be seen and celebrated. This display idea focuses on effort, reflection, and progress, helping students recognize that learning is a process and growth happens over time. It's easy to adapt for bulletin boards, classroom doors, or hallway displays and keeps student thinking at the center.

Growing Our Learning

Perfect for: Bulletin boards, classroom walls, or hallway displays

Create a display titled “Growing Our Learning” using plant-inspired visuals like stems, leaves, and garden pots. Each student contributes one “growth piece” that shows how their learning has developed since the beginning of the year.

Student work options:

• K–2: I am growing in… (drawing + sentence)
• Grades 3–5: Something I used to find hard but am improving at…
• Additional sentence stems: I kept trying when… or A strategy that helped me grow…

What makes it special: 
This display highlights progress over perfection. It helps students reflect on effort, strategies, and persistence while visually showing that growth looks different for everyone. Teachers love it because it’s simple to set up, easy to update, and meaningful well beyond March.
