Binder Love
We love, love, love our binders in first grade! I wanted to share some pictures of our binders, as well as share ideas on how we use them.
 |
| When you open the binder I have stickers with the hundreds number chart, manuscript alphabet, as well as a class list. Inside the pencil pouch is a place to keep pencils, erasers, as well as a communication spot between the teacher and parents. We also use it as a place to send any lunch money, permission slips, etc. |
 |
| The first page is where you will find our classroom newsletter. The newsletter stays here all the time. It can be used as a reference throughout the week. My newsletter is available on tpt if you are interested. |
 |
| The next page has a list of Fry's first 100 words. We use these words in first grade as our word wall words for the year. Later in the year we will begin spelling words in addition to our word wall words. |
 |
| The next page contains flashcards with word wall words. I put them inside baseball card holders. The word wall words get changed throughout the year by one of my amazing volunteers! |
 |
| The following pages contain a morning work section. It has various pages that contain math problems that are tied to first grade common core. |
 |
| Our school has a Thursday Folder. It is a communication folder that goes home on Thursdays. It holds the students weekly work, as well as any other fliers that need to go home from the school or our community. |
 |
| Last, but not least is a homework folder. The sent home a packet of weekly homework. It goes home on Thursday, and students have a week to return their homework. |

Our binders received a facelift a couple of weeks ago. I created a new cover page as well as a name spot for the spine of their binder. I don't have a picture of that, but I do have a link to it on tpt. My product has many of these goodies that you saw on the pictures. I have my students' desk in groups. Beside each group is a small book shelf. This is where each group keeps their binders everyday. It is a perfect spot to house their binders. Below is a link, or you can click on the right side under the tpt section.
