Going back to school isn't just for parents and kids-the teachers have a lot to do to make sure their classrooms are prepared for the new school year. At identaMe Labels, we know just how stressful it can be to make sure you have everything that you need for your students and yourself to be successful, so we've put together this list of classroom organization and back to school ideas for teachers!

Help the Kids Get to Know You

Back to school ideas for teachers include a favorite: Break the ice and provide your class with information on yourself so that they can get to know you. Then, encourage them to share information about themselves with their new classmates! A great way to get this started is by providing them with a sheet that has questions and answers that they can fill out.

Make sure that you also include your answers so that they will get to know you! Using school labels for organizing your classroom with your name and the classroom number is a great way to help them remember your name and where their new classroom is.

Label Supplies

A lot of teachers spend their own money to ensure that their classroom has all of the supplies that it needs. Make sure that you get all of your items back by designing your own personalized school labels. You can choose the shape, size and design of your labels to make them unique to your classroom. This is a fun, unique way to make sure that your students don't happen to walk-off with your markers or other expensive supplies!

Label Stations, Baskets, etc.

Do you use baskets in your reading station? Or have a certain area of the classroom just for art projects? Our personalized stick-on labels are the perfect way to label all of your classroom areas in an exciting way! This is also a great way to keep your students from mixing up where items should go. For example, all of the book baskets can be labeled for Books, while all of the Art Supply baskets can have labels for paints, markers, crayons, etc!

Label Drawers & Cupboards

Another great way to keep your classroom organized and ensure that your kids know where things are is by labeling the drawers and cupboards in your classroom. Not only will this keep you organized, but it's a great way to make sure everyone feels comfortable taking items out and putting them back each day!
