Hold It Together: Binder Tools for Success

Help me give my students binder pencil cases, highlighters, and reinforcement stickers so they can stay organized, keep materials intact, and highlight key ideas while making the most of our new binder system.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sullivan's classroom raised $216

My Project

I love that my students come to class every day ready to engage with science, even when the lessons are challenging. They are curious, resilient, and eager to make sense of the world around them. What they sometimes struggle with is the organization and care of their materials, and that is where these resources will make such a difference.

Binder pencil cases will ensure that students always have a pen or pencil within reach, removing the stress of searching for supplies and giving them the confidence to be ready to learn.

Highlighters will allow them to mark key ideas in their notes, helping them identify the most important concepts and review more effectively for tests and projects. Reinforcement stickers will keep binder pages from ripping out, protecting their notes and keeping binders neat as we use them daily.

With these simple but impactful resources, my students will be able to focus more on learning and less on scrambling for materials. I know these tools will give them the confidence and structure to take ownership of their work and feel proud of the binders they maintain throughout the year. Your support helps create a classroom where their energy and effort can truly shine.
