Whooooo is ready for some not so scary tricks and some sweet treats? This is going to be a fun blog hop with Mrs. Plemmons Kindergarten in which lots of my favorite bloggy friends and I share some fun tricks and treats with you all! We are sharing some of our best tricks of the trade and giving you a few little treats as well!
I've spent some time the past few days setting up online accounts to some of the best websites I know of to track and build student reading, comprehension and math skills. The catch is that students have to login for any site to be able to track their progress and that is not always easy to manage! Sooo... I created these "key rings" for my students that hang on pushpins beside the computers. Students write their names on the back of each key so we can hang them face down. We write each of their usernames and passwords for each of the sites on the keys. Students love grabbing their set of "key's" and getting logged on to their sites!
These are editable so that you can type in the name of the websites that you most often use. Then just add student usernames and passwords, cut out, hole punch and put on shower curtain rings to create your student "key rings."
I cut these out to show what they would look like if you have the patience of Job to make them look this great... the top photo is more my speed though! Haha... sorry, just have too much to get done in a day. ;)
So that's my trick... I have a few treats for you as well!

ReplyDeleteMissy, I bet your kids love to "grab their keys"; makes them feel so grown up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

Those keys are so cute, I've always just done a ring of cards.

Wow, you are a busy little one this week. I appreciate the keys idea and freebie- if I ever lose my phone I am in real trouble because that is where I store my user names and passwords for websites! Thanks!
