Binder Set-Up 101

Help me give my students the necessary tools to create a functioning classroom. We need chart paper to create driving question boards, paperclips and binder clips for demos, and tools to create a functioning binder.

My Project

Thank you all for the consistent support of my classroom--it is so special and kind. In thinking about my last project, I began designing what I hope for my students to put into their binders. Throughout this process I have begun to imagine what it would be like to have a fully functioning student center where students can reliably find the materials they need to have a functioning and useful binder. This led me to this project.

I want to have paperclips, binder clips, staplers, and three-hole punches so that my students can trust that their binders will be functional, useful, and they will be able to return to them as a tool throughout our course.

My students deserve the best, and a project such as this one is another way in which I can move my classroom closer to achieving this goal. Finally, I hope to use anchor chart paper to ensure that my students have clear directions, labels, and goals that are posted throughout the room. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart as always for your support of my classroom!
