Identifying their names in print is an objective that most early childhood programs encourage. When we look at the use of daily sign in sheets in the classroom from an educational perspective, we can easily identify the many benefits this process has to offer our students. As adults, we tend to think of signing in as something we do at the doctor’s office or to keep track of hours worked. To the untrained eye, signing in to the Pre-K or Kindergarten classroom each morning may seem pointless. You can easily add sign in sheets to your morning routine at the beginning of the year, then add to them over time to make the writing more challenging as your kids learn and develop their fine motor skills. Learning to identify their own names and write the individual letters in their names are HUGE accomplishments for any young child.ĭaily sign in sheets are a great way to provide your students with meaningful name writing practice. Are daily sign in sheets a part of the morning routine in your classroom? Nothing is more meaningful to a child than his or her own name.
