They may lose their pencil or their scissors or their textbook or their shoe, but they will not lose their Gold Tag pocket. And, believe it or not, I have never had a kid lose their Gold Tag pocket. Now that I can have up to 32 kids, I just have the kids keep their pockets at their desk. But that was back when I had 20 kids and I could get 20 pockets on a poster board. I used to have the pockets glued onto poster board and laminated and I would hang it on the wall. I have had people ask me where the kids keep their pockets. I give every kid a Gold Tag pocket (seen in the picture above) and we talk about how we are going to keep our Gold Tags inside. I tend to like to role play and it might have to do with the fact that I love acting. That’s when you need to make a big spiel out of being kind, and helpful, and following directions the first time, and lining up quietly, and blah blah blah, etc. Okay, I’m going to do a quick refresher on Gold Tags and what they are, but if you want all the ins and outs and the nitty gritty and the what ifs, then you have to go read the original post.
You can read the original blog post where it didn’t work so there you go. It makes my tummy hurt a little bit.īecause we are heading back, and I’ve been prepping unofficially for weeks now, I am back to talk about Gold Tags. We go back officially this Wednesday for staff meetings and continental breakfasts and how was your summer and look at you and I love your hair and you’re so tan and where did you get that shirt stuff. It will be real, live, actual, human first graders.
A week from today, I will be in my classroom and there will be children staring at me.Īnd not the neighborhood children who keep seeing me in my pajamas in the middle of the day, either.
