Student Made Name Tags {Tried It Tuesday} 9-8-14

Well, it's the beginning of the school year

so I'm back in full swing with trying new things 

in the classroom.

I'm excited today to link up with Holly 

from Fourth Grade Flipper for

Tried It Tuesday!

Be sure to stop by to see what others are trying out.

My 'tried it' isn't anything groundbreaking today....

but it is something that I've tried differently 

this year as we get started. 

Student made name tags:

I've always had ones that have been purchased 

with tons of resources on them

that take up the whole desk. 

Since the resources are all up in the room anyway

and most have their own personal copies of things to store

that I could try something a bit different this year. 

I really love how they turned out!

They took their time and really put in 

a lot of effort!

There was a mix up with our order of name tags this year

so instead of using all different left over ones,

{and because I just plain ran out of time} 

I decided to have students make their own tags.

I'm not sure if they will get just as beat up or not

as the year goes on,

but I'm hoping that since they took the time to make them

they will take some more pride in taking care of them. 

I'll have to let you know!

Happy Tuesday! Hope you're having a great week so far.
