Ever lost something over and over? A clever teacher found her students kept misplacing their glue sticks, so she had a fun idea: name them! They wrote names on their glue sticks, and guess what? They started losing them way less.
Giving my classroom gluesticks human names has been revolutionary. Does a student care if a glue stick goes missing? No! Do they care if DEREK the glue stick has not been returned? ABSOLUTELY. It’s like a manhunt until Derek has been returned to his rightful spot.

This got me thinking about my missing glasses. Maybe I should name them too... how about "Clark" for my black-rimmed pair, like Clark Kent? Maybe then they'd stick around more!
