Keeping Schoolwork Organized

Help me give my students those 1 inch binders. Each student will get one binder to use for their 6th grade ELA. These binders will be helpful because the papers will be organized and in one place.

My Project

Binders are essential for our students to stay organized with school materials at school and at home. The binder will be divided in sections such as homework, i-Ready, reading and writing, etc. The students will place their papers in the right section. Their homework will be in the homework section of the binder and classwork in its own section. Binders help students learn how to be organized and keep track of their learning as well. In addition, there is no place for excuse for lost or missing paper. They will learn accountability.
