Clothes Pins II
For attendance, I use clip-type clothes pins with students' names and desk numbers written on the wooden part, clipped to a small basket or plastic container. As students come into the classroom, they put only their pin in the container. I can tell at a glance who is absent or if a student is taking attendance, she/he knows how to spell the absent student's name. I also keep an attendance pad in each basket so I'm not always searching for it and I can write on the entire pad the period number in advance.
