To make this chart:  Purchase any color poster board and some small coin envelopes, available at Staples (and probably most other stores like this). Cut the coin envelopes in half and cut out a half moon from the top front of the envelope. If you cut the envelope in half, you can actually make two pockets out of just one of these, by sealing the other end closed. Using rubber cement, paste the back of the envelope and the area on the poster board to which you will glue the envelope and let dry. Then, stick the envelope to the board. See sample. I lay my envelopes across and down, before gluing to make sure the layout looks even. After this is completed, I laminate the entire board and use a one-sided razorblade to cut the opening for the discipline red/green/yellow light cards. These cards are available free by clicking on the link above. Printer should be set to duplex printing. Print off name tags for the students and stick these to the envelopes. I have used my laminated board three years in a row. Some of the cards had to be replaced however.
