Preschool Name Labels

One of the most Important things we can do when setting up our classroom is to make sure everything is labeled. It means so much to my students when they arrive to school and see their names on their cubbies, coat rack, chairs, as well as personal items. I wanted this set of labels to be bright and easy for the children to notice. 

I’m placing them in various areas around my classroom. As you can see, I have already added them to their coat rack. When they start their first day of school this is what they will see. 

It is so important that preschoolers begin to recognize their names as the school year begins, so this is a good way to capture their attention. During the first week of school, I will add their photo to the label as well.

Preschool Shape Cutouts Freebie!

   

                                                                              

This set of shape cutouts give my students a clear visual of the shapes that they are learning. I enjoy using this set because the shapes are both colorful and easy to promote shape recognition. 

There are 11 shapes in this set that include a circle, square, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, crescent, star, heart, and octagon. There are enough shapes here to begin the school year. I usually start off with this set and add on more as my students master these. 

After printing these out, I laminate them so that they will last longer. After laminating them, I cut them out and then use the punch hole to put a hole in each one so that they can be held together with a book ring. 

What you need to get started: 

Laminator  
Laminating sheets
A pair of scissors
Hole punch
1 Metal book ring

These are some of my favorites that I use from amazon.

Preschool Change of Clothing Flyer

                                                                                                
The beginning of a new school year is almost upon us and there’s always so much to be done to get started! I have begun preparing my back-to-school parent materials and my change of clothes flyer is just one of the many flyers I will be sending home.

This particular flyer has saved me so much time with parents. I usually place this sheet inside of a gallon size ziplock bag (any brand will do) and send it home with my parents, usually during open house.

I have used this method for the last two years and the parents enjoy the convenience of the ziplock bag along with the reminder flyer. The gallon size bag is just the right size to hold their extra set of clothes and they tuck neatly into my coat cubbies. My students are always excited that they can find their own clothes with their name clearly written on the bag. There coat rack has been labeled with their names so that they will know which set of clothing belongs to them. I used my name LABELS to label each cubbie. 

You can use any gallon size ziplock bag, however, I’ve found that freezer bags work best, as they last longer and tend to be more sturdy. I make many of my teacher supply purchases  online. You can find this three pack on amazon.

I hope this helps to make the start of your school year a little easier!
