Seating Charts Made Simple

(Bless the folks at 3M, especially those who work in the Post-It division. I am a self-proclaimed office supply junkie, but here’s something to try even if you’re not!)
Supplies Needed:
- Colorful Sticky Tabs
- Fine Tip Permanent Marker
- Sheet Protector
- Paper

Directions:
1. Draw or print a map of the desks/tables in your classroom. Make sure desks or tables are larger than the tabs you’ve purchased.
2. Write each student’s name on a tab. (You can even color code here: say pink for girls and green for boys or blue for seniors and orange for juniors. Ohhh…the possibilities!)
3. Place the desk map in the sheet protector and start arranging the tabs.
4. Slip- the finished product in the scanner and you can project your new seating chart on the wall with your LCD projector.
5. Need to make a change? Pull the sticky off and place Sally up front (or in the hall!)

Here’s a sample:
