By the third week I usually have the names down as well, but there are those pesky few that I continually get mixed up. <BR/><BR/>The namesplates begin to be part of our beginning class routine as they come in the room. It's really amusing to observe some of them as they "set up their area" and make it their own with their nameplate. <BR/><BR/>They come in handy when we have class visitors, student teachers, and substitute teachers in the room as well.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-9123307548880705502007-08-14T21:16:00.000-04:002007-08-14T21:16:00.000-04:00Making nameplates was the first task my fifth grad...Making nameplates was the first task my fifth graders had to complete on Monday. I know almost all of them, now. But, new ones come to Social Studies on Thursday, so new nameplates will be the first order of business.teachergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655615013367705872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-31077651408833382152007-08-14T11:45:00.000-04:002007-08-14T11:45:00.000-04:00Interestingly enough, I've been working on a posti...Interestingly enough, I've been working on a posting concerning my Cousin Margaret's funeral.<BR/><BR/>There were so many people there whom I either hadn't recognized (after so many years), or hadn't known.<BR/><BR/>I remarked to my stepmother that at the reception afterwards, we should have provided sticky badges and pens so they could write their names and relationships i.e. cousin, friend, in-law, niece, great-granddaughter.<BR/><BR/>I was somehow expected to know all these people, and there were a couple of faux pas committed on my part, mistaking one cousin for another! I also missed greeting people I had heard about, but had never had the opportunity to meet.<BR/><BR/>Yes, providing nametags or another sort of labeling is a good thing! It's how I remember the names on tour as well.The Tour Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701469966951623627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-10034841261772568612007-08-14T08:34:00.000-04:002007-08-14T08:34:00.000-04:00Thanky, thanky!Thanky, thanky!EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-83324175556595294262007-08-14T04:31:00.000-04:002007-08-14T04:31:00.000-04:00Brilliant!
