Seating Charts To Remember Names

Having seating charts and using them helps in remembering students' names. Change the charts frequently as it separates potential discipline problems and will reinforce names for you. Ever since I committed to doing this, I learn names so much faster. I carry two classes (back-to-back) per plastic protector sheet and color code each grade level. I've designated red for second grade, white for third grade, yellow for fourth grade, and blue for fifth grade. My seating charts are always with me!
