Last year the school bought each student a plastic name tag. It sounded like a good thing at the time. (There was no way I was going to remember 550 kids names even if I did name most of them!) However, keeping track of the name tags was challenge. I did pretty good with students that only came to me (K-2nd) but the students that went to the Taiwanese English teacher's class too never knew where their name tags were. It drove me crazy! I know that I DID NOT want to repeat that again this year.
So my solution... Name Tags on the desk that they can use a white board marker to write their names on and then erase them when they leave class. I just elaminated name tags that I got from America and then taped them to each desk. On each desk I will put a marker and a wash cloth (as an eraser).
That way all of my students also get practice writing their names and I know who every one is.... at least when they are sitting down. However, getting the students to not pick at the tape is going to be a whole other challenge in itself. :(
