BRIGHT IDEAS?
My tip this time...
Last year, I found these cute little melamine plates on sale at Hobby Lobby and decided that they would be the perfect "sign out" signs to hang in the room.
Do you see the Expo marker hanging on the door frame (by magnet, of course)? My boys sign out on the blue plate and my girls sign out on the pink plate using this Expo marker.
This way, at a quick glance, I can see who has left the room to go to the bathroom. My students also know not to ask to go to the bathroom if there is a name on the plate. So, when students return, they erase their name from the plate (which is why there is a pom pom hot glued to the cap of the Expo marker) and then another student is free to ask.
Short and simple tip, but it works for me! I hope you found it helpful!

Oh I love this so much!!! You made me laugh with your comment about the pass since that's what always holds me back from using those. But this? This is perfect!! Those plates are too cute too. Thanks for adding to my summer-project list...I love these kind of projects :) :)
ReplyDeleteSo super cute, we have been having some yucky bathroom problems and admin wants us to have a sign out but it is hard to keep up with. This will be a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

That is a great idea! I feel the the same way about the passes. You never know where those things wind up. Gross! You could really use this for anything..... when kids get pulled for speech, working with the reading specialist, going to the media center! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
