My Project

In Second Grade, students are still learning organization skills and responsibility. The binders that I create for the students and families house everything they need to stay organized and aware of school happenings.

The Team Trotter binders hold a planner for copying daily homework, a pouch for pencils, erasers, and ruler, a notebook for spelling homework, a folder for homework, and plastic sleeves to hold monthly calendars and other important papers.

This binder allows students and families to know exactly where to find daily homework, weekly spelling words, etc., and it gives an opportunity for the students to keep everything in one place, instead of being shoved in their backpacks. The Team Trotter Binder comes to school every morning and goes home every afternoon.
