OMGerms! We've probably all been there. You know that moment when you're in the office and one of the secretaries super heroes points to one of your classroom passes because one of your "tinies" left it in the office during one of their "emergencies". All you can think to yourself is, "I AM NOT touching that thing!" I've tried lots of hall pass systems. Meh.
Then I found THIS PIN. Well, duh. Mega face palm. It was love at first sight! Where has this been all of my teaching life? My kiddos don't have to carry it, they don't have to set it down in the restroom (barfo) and then forget to bring it back, it doesn't dangle from a ribbon around their neck so they can play with it….
I went to my local super store and purchased some inexpensive badge holders and clips. It was a small investment with a huge payoff. Check it out!
You're in love, right? Well, since it's just about Valentine's Day, and you are all so lovely, I'm sharing this editable file with you. I expect chocolate and roses in return.
I printed them on card stock, laminated, and put them into the badge holders. D-O-N-E. To help me keep track of where kiddos are, I have small bottles of sanitizer that are color-coded that they put on their desk while they are out of the room and conveniently use when they return. Mine have different color pumps, but you could decorate the outside with Washi tape, ribbon, etc. This is a quick way for me to figure out where they are by just looking at their desk.
Head over to my TPT store and grab this sweet freebie! Don't forget to leave feedback!
Great idea! My hall passes have disappeared this year! I'm down to one boys pass! So this is certainly needed! Thanks for sharing the freebie!
