My Project

In my English classroom, organization is key to student success. I’ve found that binders are the most effective system for keeping handouts, notes, and assignments in one place. When students have binders, they are much more likely to keep track of their materials and stay on top of their work. Unfortunately, not all of my students can afford school supplies, including binders. That’s why I like to keep extras on hand to ensure every student has what they need to succeed. Your support will help provide structure and equity in my classroom.
