My students use a binder system to keep track of all their work that is done in our class. This organization helps them to have each class separated by color and with their name on their binder. The bookshelves are the holding places in class for their binders so that none of their work is lost, damaged, or stolen during their learning throughout the school year. This helps to keep their notes and assignments organized properly.
For my students to be able to walk in on the first day of school to a shelf full of brand new binders would inspire them to take ownership, especially when the bookshelves can help in this process It's rare that some of these students ever get anything brand new. This will be one less school supply they will have to go home and tell mom to buy. Everyone will start out on the same page. All of their classwork will be located in this binder. At the end of the class, the students return their binder to the shelf, keeping it at school at all times.
