My Project

My students come in daily, hungry for knowledge. Since we have moved online, I am finding that many students struggle with where to find their information in order to study. By having the thermal binder folders we will be able to ensure that these notebooks will last the school year and beyond.

These workbooks will be used and referenced all year!

We have gone through and have compiled all of our paper doodle notes, study guides, graphic organizers, articles, and lab documents for the school year. These workbooks and lab books will be for students to access at any point throughout the class period or the school year.

By having access to these resources, students will have an opportunity to be more successful, by being able to reference these materials as needed, to help with completion of work or participation in class discussions. I have surveyed several students from this year to see what they think about this idea, and they loved it! Since they have been through our classes and know all there is to know about how we operate, if they are telling me these would be helpful, then I have to try to make this idea a reality!
