Help me give my students binders and dividers to help keep them organized.

My Students

Outside of school, my students face many challenges that no child should have to face. I teach in a Title I school that has just recently moved out of turnaround status. We are currently a math focus school.

While my students are in school, I like to make our days as fun and exciting as possible!

This year I will be teaching kindergarten and will need some new materials for my students to start their school experience off on the right foot!

My Project

I am asking for binders and dividers for my students in the upcoming year. I used them this year for at home learners and was easily able to transition them to be used for in person learning. With so many unknowns this school year, I have learned how to think ahead and be prepared no matter the situation. Teachers are nothing if they aren't flexible!

Binders and tabs are such a wonderful way to help keep each child organized.

I have used them to differentiate their learning of different skills.
