Name Tag Tips

This year I tried two different things with my students' name tags.  First of all, I made a name tag template on my computer so that I could just type the students' names in and print the tags off.  It has worked out great because I didn't have to go buy name tags, I had the option of making the tags any color or design I wanted to match my room, and the names turn out perfect every time.  :)

Another thing I changed was how I attached the name tags to the desks.  I got so tired of taping down the students' name tags on their desks over and over again last year.  I tried using magnets to attach the tags to the sides of the desks, but that really limits how you arrange the desks.   So this year I finally decided to use velcro.  It works great!  The tags stay on just fine, and I can pull them off and switch them as needed when students move in and out, or when someone spills on their desk . . .
