Folders for Fundamentals!

Help me give my students the folders that they need to be successful. The pencil sharpener to keep their pencils sharp, like they are!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Berry's classroom raised $186

My Project

Our state has adopted new standards and our incoming 6th graders have not had much instruction on grammar or sentence structure. Both of these are a huge part of the new standards. We have put together about 10 reference sheets for the students to have at their desk with them. They will need these reference sheets in a folder for them to keep handy.

Folders keep everything organized, organized students are successful!

Our students need to be able to keep their notes and reference sheets in a folder in order to be great students. The pencil sharpener will come in handy in the classroom as they take notes and wear down their pencil lead.
