<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I'm Amy, a middle school teacher from Colorado, and here's a tutorial from my blog, <a href="http://dwellintheseason.blogspot.com/">dwell in the season</a>, on making colorful nametags for your class! Enjoy! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">. . . . . . . . </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It's only the beginning of August, and I've already had <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">two</span></b> nightmares about school starting sans lesson plans.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I'm getting really excited for school to start soon, but for some reason I fear not being prepared. I guess that's not too crazy. But seriously? Two scary dreams when the kids show up and I am fumbling around trying to find last years lesson plans (which would do me little good without any copies or materials prepared) or some game to play. Scary stuff, folks.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I got a sudden crafty urge the other night to make all my students' nametags. (At least they'll know where to sit even if I have nothing else prepared.) Only to find out that I have two more new students as of yesterday. Oh, well. Always glad to have more students!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I was very intentional about choosing the same number of warm colors as cool colors, so I can split my class up easily.
