Gettin’ Ready- Tip #2 {Free & Editiable Name Tags}
I officially report back to school in one week. ONE WEEK, y’all! I normally don’t use “y’all” but all my cute & sweet southern blogger friends do and it is getting stuck in my mind. Maybe it’ll be my new thing this year. 🙂
Let’s talk name tags. My students need to wear them for a handful of weeks at the beginning of the year. I honestly can’t even remember how many weeks at my “new” school. I’m no longer “new” at this school, but I still kind of feel like it! I’ve used a handful of different name tag styles over the years and I think I’ve finally found a method I like.
If you still need name tags/badges, I have uploaded this set as a freebie through googledocs. Each tag is 3 X 4 inches. Please make sure you DOWNLOAD the file from googledocs, otherwise it will not work properly. You will be able to add your kiddos names using powerpoint. I used the font Appleberry which is free for personal use. I purchased my name badges through Amazon, which you can find here.
And have you seen these adorable math nameplates by the cute Primary Graffiti? If not, you must! They are also FREE and EDITABLE!
I think I had the same transition as you with my name tags! I use pictures only on the first day (I teach 100% ELL with no English proficiency) with the names on the desks. It takes me forever and a day to learn their names – definitely not a strength!
