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

Be Kind, Be Safe, and Do Your Job are the only school rules you need! I have taught for 33 years, in three different districts. I have seen many school-wide rules instituted, but these are the only ones that stuck! Our district has used these for years! These rules are simple and easy to remember. All other rules can fit under these main rules. This resource includes a poster for each of the three rules and suggested books to read to your class for each rule to help facilitate discussion. A student booklet for each student to complete, take home, and share with their families is also included.

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!
