My Project

Teenagers need help staying organized. They may have the best intentions, but once they walk away from my classroom with a piece of paper, it may or may not return. Anything can happen in the course of a school day. My students need support and tools to remain well organized and successful. File Folders will help them do just that!

This project seeks to acquire a ready supply of file folders for my social studies classroom.

We need assorted colors, one color for each of the six class periods that I teach. When a student's folder rips, becomes worn, or otherwise needs to be replaced, we need extras on hand. I am also excited to try plastic file folders for their durability. Folders seem like a simple thing, but in fact, they can make the difference between students submitting their work on time or losing their assignments and feeling discouraged.

The folder organizers will help us keep the room neat and tidy. All folders will go in the class' organizers and no one (fingers crossed) will lose anything every again!
