My Project

My middle and high school students are excited to learn and create in the classroom but we need help in giving them folders, one for each student, so they can stay organized in class.

Folders help our students to keep their work organized, and it teaches them personal responsibility to take care of their materials, both inside and outside of the classroom!

I want to encourage my students to build good work and study habits which can lead them to success in the classroom. When students personal work and classroom supplies are organized, it helps to reduce stress and distractions with clutter. These folders will provide a positive learning experience for my students and the markers and tape will allow us to assign bins to each student to store their other classroom supplies in a neat and organized space.
