My Project

I want to focus on organization with my students this year. I would like to be able to give all of the students a binder so that every student has a place to put all of their work and study materials. All last year I just saw students throwing their paper into their backpacks and not organizing anything, which lead to more students struggling later on when the material got harder.

The White binders would be used for Algebra I, and they would mostly stay in the classroom (at least for most of the year).

The colorful binders will be used for Algebra II, and will most likely travel with the students to class on a daily basis

Please help me with giving the best possible education to my students!!

Students tend to feel very overwhelmed with bring in materials for class, so to ease tensions on them and their families, we would like to give them piece of mind that they have everything they need to be able to be successful in class!!!
