Extreme Makeover Classroom Edition {Cubby/Locker Tags}

I used to buy new name tags every year! I used to buy new cubby tags...you guessed it...EVERY YEAR! Well, that was until I was introduced to 2 of the best ideas EVER!

First up, the cubby tags. You can buy these at any office supply store or even Wal-Mart. They are self adhesive business card holders. You place them inside the cubbies/lockers and voila!! You are good to go for years...no exaggeration...I am for real people! I have had the same holders for 3 years now and they still look perfect! I can use them again next year.
Now, what do you put in them?! Well, you can print your student's names on business cards...no need to laminate because you are placing them in the holders! You can also create your own. The business card holders are 3 1/2 by 2 inches. At the beginning of the year, I type their first name only. Typically most of my Kinders recognize and write their first names by the end of 1st quarter. So, then I change to last names.

One year, before I had seat sacks, I used these adhesive labels to put on the backs of their chairs. Those cards I labeled with their student number!! I have created some cubby tags for you to print. There is one blank page and pages that are numbered 1-30 (I hope you don't have more than 30 students!) To download your FREE copy click on the title page below.





Come back tomorrow for name tags that will make it through the first week of school AND be able to be used when you are gone...with your sub!!

Great idea! I used to buy name tags, laminate them and have to replace them once or twice a year! This is a much better alternative. Adding these to my summer shopping list. And thanks for the freebies.
