Photo Flash Cards

Teachers can use flash cards too! This is a terrific way to connect names and faces of new students on the first day of school. I write the child's name on the photo and shuffle through the photo flash cards several times with the names visible. Then I check my memory by covering up the names. Through this method, I can identify every new student by name on the second day.
