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

If you love this resource:

***1. French SOR Sound Cards

***2. French Decodable Reading

***3. Roles et Responsabilites

***4. French Number Line

***5.French Attention Grabbers

Some of the Benefits of this resource:

1. Students identify themselves to new teachers so even those who lack confidence can be identified
2. Substitute teachers feel comfortable when they have all the student names available
3. Safe communication during emergency procedures
4. Students who are out of the classroom can be safely returned to class by other staff members

Navigating emotions can be difficult, especially when you're an adolescent. That's why we designed the Mental Health Workbook for Adolescents! This comprehensive portfolio covers everything related to anger management and can help guide young people to take control over their emotions. It's engaging, reflective, and full of thought-provoking exercises. This social emotional learning resource is perfect for school counselors and psychologists in elementary or middle schools.

Inside, you'll find activities that cover anger warning signs, identifying personal triggers, and red vs. green choices. It also includes emotional regulation strategies to help create a sense of calm which is so important for growing minds. We know that managing our feelings isn't just about counting to ten or deep breathing – it's about gaining insight into why we feel the way we do. With this portfolio, students will have access to more than just basic strategies; they'll be able to develop an understanding of their own unique situations. There are so many angles in this robust SEL resource to support students in developing insight and understanding into anger and this portfolio is sure to have something for everyone!

Need an awesome Movement Activity? I have just the thing for you! This creative Conscious Discipline “Breathing Pose” resource was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. It is best to use one of these images per day or per week, so these resources can last a while. Focus on the specific animal shown and discuss where this animal would be and how it would breathe and pose to gain focus. Make sure you demonstrate the pose with your class. Ask a student to help demonstrate this pose, and the sillier you are, yet focused, the more the students will want to participate with you in each of these fun and motivating animal breathing poses. This is a great SEL strategy! I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
