New Students

As the new school year is approaching and I am gathering all of my materials to write the names of my students on (name tags, clothespins, name sticks, locker tags, etc.), I thought I would share a helpful tip that I have received in the past.  It feels like I have 25 different things that I write names on.  When I have a new student join our class in the middle of the year, it takes so much time to gather all of these things (if I remember where I stored them).  Tip:  Take a gallon size Ziploc bag and place 1 item of everything in it.  This will be your "New Student Bag".  When you have someone join the class, take out the bag and begin writing their name.  I did this last year and it was so handy.  I had everything at the tip of my hands and I did not have to search for 25 different materials.  I hope this helps!

August?!

I cannot believe it is already August!  This month always seems to fly by so it is time to get things in gear for Back to School.  Where has the summer gone?!
