Time Savers
By Rainbow

What comes to my mind are:

(1) giving each student a number. They always write that number in the top right hand corner of their paper. Their numbers are the same in my grade book. I put the numbers in order when grading.
This system is two-fold for me.
1. This helps to zip right down the gradebook putting the grades in.
2. I can see real fast who hasn't turned their paper in.
(2)Also, in my planbook, I write notes to myself for next year since we get to keep our planbooks. I will jot down "didn't work", "add _____" Buy the book, _________ to go along with this, etc.
(3)Name flip

strips. Each child's name is on a strip and laminated. A hole is punched into the corner of each and put on a metal ring. I can flip to the next person each week for my helper. The kids learn the order so they aren't constantly asking me "When am I the helper?"

There are probably some more, but those are what come to mind first.
