Teachers love money saving tips and tricks. This little hack will save you time and money
No NameTags… SAY WHAT?!
Every year I used to buy the name tags with printed lines and I would neatly write my student’s first and last names, then write their number on a colored circle sticker label, lick and stick them to every name tag, then laminate, and cut them all out, and it took tons of time and cost $. Then you get that new students and you have to scramble around to do all that to get their desk ready. I started thinking the only reason I use name tags is so I know whose desk is whose.
Name tags have always bothered me because kids pick at them, remove them, move them around on their desks, lose them, and when we clean our desks they are in the way. No more name tags means I just write student’s names on the desk with a Sharpie.

I have been name tag FREE for 6 years now and I love it.
How it works:
Write your students names on their desk with a sharpie. Remove with an Expo marker and then clean with a spray cleaner. I promise you it comes off but you may want to do a test area just in case.Â
Things to note:
I have to write them on about mid year again. Since we work on cursive the second half of the year I often write them on in cursive. If we give our desks a super good cleaning I write them on again too. It is super fast to do and so much nicer than name tags. I will never go back to name tags again.
Time and $$$$ saved!!
