folders and notebooks

Hi Jackie
Over the years I keep adding more and more folders and spiral notebooks because of the organization issue, misplaced papers, torn papers and scrunched up papers in desks. Some students do fine with organization| but the majority have difficulty. So when folders are on sale for 5 cents I buy tons, and when spiral notebooks go on sale for 12 cents I buy enough for the whole year.I also sometimes use laminated construction paper for a folder. I color code and label everything. Print shop has a post it note mode and it is the right size to label folders and notebooks. Like you I use a composition | |
book for their writing draft book and a homework folder. I also have the following folders. It may seem excessive but it is so worth it. Everything is so compact and easily found. Plus it shows growth and is a good form of progress and assessment. Students do not store most of these in their desks, just a few. The rest I store in baskets on shelves. Hope this helps.2 pocket Folders
