Do you need ideas for making classroom attendance charts? They are convenient for seeing who is present and who is absent. Some attendance charts have additional information for students that are present but away from class. These can have categories like ‘office’ and ‘bathroom’.
Popular titles for classroom attendance charts or attendance pocket charts are ‘Who Is Here?’, ‘Where are Our Friends Today?’, ‘Who is at School Today?’ or ‘Attendance’. Classroom attendance charts can be made for your classroom door, whiteboard, or bulletin board area.

Make a detailed attendance chart with magnets and number stickers: Draw up an attendance table on your whiteboard and add assorted colors of 1″ fridge magnet dots and 1″ number stickers to make the chart interactive. The magnets fit perfectly over the stickers to cover them.
