Labeling Your Classroom

Labels are essential, especially for primary grade and special education classrooms. Cleaning up toys and other classroom stuff is a lot easier and faster. Students won’t have to ask the teacher where the classroom objects are.

Basically, labeling makes our life more convenient and life-changing. Here are tips on labeling the classroom that is suitable for young students.

• • Create labels both with words and visuals.
  • For bilingual/ESL classrooms, use labels in both languages.
  • Use simple or generic terms like “blocks”, “paper”, “chair”, “paint”, and so on regardless of their material and composition.

5 Quick Tips to keep your class engaged with Sign Language labels:

1. Refresh the classroom layout and start together with the incoming school year by labeling everywhere you can with ASL Flashcards.
2. Design the classroom in a way that students will love to go to every day using Wall Charts to reinforce vocabulary.
3. Set a specific time each day to learn a new sign with your class (morning meet-ups, carpet, or storytime). Use the FREE ASL Word of the Day podcast.
4. Tape visual sign-supported flashcards inside of books for children to learn signs as they read.
5. Be open to new teaching strategies and step out of your comfort zone by learning signs yourself.

You’ll want these FREE flashcards sample set as a supplementary learning tool or for labeling common objects in the classroom.
