Editable Student Name Tags

I have been using these name badges in my classroom for the past 3 years. I love the feedback I get from Substitute Teachers when they tell me how much they appreciate having students names at the ready. Personalised Name Tags for each student makes for clear communication. Classroom management goes so much more smoothly when everyone knows each other's names.

And we all know, a happy Sub will keep coming back! And in these crazy times, that means everything!

Who can use these name tags:

Teachers of any grade from K-6 can definitely benefit from having these names at the ready. New teachers learning student names at Back To School time. Teachers on long term contract may want these handy name tags when they know they will only be around a few weeks.

I keep a note in my Substitute Emergency plans to let them know where to find the Clip-on Tags in my room.

Where to keep them:

I keep mine attached to student cubby bins so that they know where to find their stuff at the beginning of the year when we are just getting accustomed to the new classroom.

They are so proud the first time they put them on! They feel so 'professional'!

How to use the name tags:

-Open the file

-Fill in Teacher name and room number on the first slide

-Immediately click on the slide, right click, and duplicate slide so you have enough cards for your number of students

-Now fill in student names, copy, cut, and laminate

-using a hole punch make two holes just below the top line side by side

-slip through a snap clip so students can clip the tags to their clothes

These are editable choice boards for ELA. I have included 5 color gradients that you can choose from, to help match with your classroom decor! The categories that I have included are phonics, comprehension, writing, spelling, digital, vocab, and blank ones for you to add your own.

What is included are large labels for labeling any supplies/resources that you have for students to use as activities, and individual choice boards for each category with 6 choices. These are the digitally editable parts of the product.

To be able to edit, you will need to open the product in Google Slides, then wherever editable is written, you can click on that and type because it is a text box. You can also add your own text boxes if necessary.

This would be a great product for early finishers and also during your small groups (students who are not meeting with you can choose what they would like to work on)! You could print off each choice board, but what I would recommend is having the choice board for the day projected onto a board/smart board and have students move their names onto where they would like to go! (If you need help finding a way to do this digitally, feel free to send me a message and I will try to help!)

I really hope you enjoy it! I have had great success with choice boards and has helped me with keeping my students engaged and making them take control of their own learning. Please rate and review!

Why use Icebreakers?

1. Building Relationships: Icebreakers help students get to know each other and form connections early in the school year. This promotes a sense of community and reduces feelings of isolation, especially for new students or those transitioning to a new grade.
2. Reducing Anxiety: The first days of school can be nerve-wracking for students, and icebreakers help alleviate anxiety by creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. When students feel more comfortable, they are more likely to engage and participate in class activities.
3. Promoting Communication: Icebreakers encourage students to communicate with each other and express their thoughts and ideas. Improved communication skills positively impact their ability to collaborate and work effectively in group settings.
4. Enhancing Social Skills: Icebreakers provide opportunities for students to practice social skills, such as active listening, empathy, and respect for others' opinions. These skills are vital for building healthy relationships throughout the school year and beyond.
5. Improving Learning Outcomes: Positive classroom dynamics resulting from icebreakers can lead to increased student engagement and motivation. When students feel comfortable in their learning environment, they are more likely to participate, ask questions, and take academic risks.
6. Creating a Positive Classroom Culture: Icebreakers contribute to the establishment of a positive classroom culture. By encouraging teamwork and mutual support from the beginning, students are more likely to demonstrate kindness and empathy throughout the school year.
7. Identifying Common Interests: Through icebreaker activities, students may discover shared interests, hobbies, or experiences. Finding common ground fosters a sense of belonging and encourages students to celebrate their differences and similarities.
8. Gathering Information: For educators, icebreakers can be a valuable tool for gathering insights into their students' backgrounds, strengths, and challenges. Understanding students' individual needs helps tailor instruction to support their academic and emotional growth.
9. Strengthening Teacher-Student Relationships: Engaging in icebreakers allows teachers to connect with their students on a personal level. This approachability can help students feel comfortable seeking help or discussing concerns with their teachers.
10. Setting a Positive Tone: Icebreakers set a positive tone for the entire school year. When students experience a warm and inviting atmosphere from the beginning, they are more likely to approach learning with enthusiasm and a growth mindset.
