How to Organize a 1 Subject Binder Bridgeport CT

Steps

1. Every class/subject should have it's own section in the binder. Students may use one binder for all classes, or they can use one binder for Core classes and one binder for Elective classes. Each class section should be separated by a divider or folder.
2. Each section in the binder should be organized chronologically. All notes, assignments, quizzes etc. should be placed with the oldest information at the back and each new item placed by date in front of it. When assignments are returned, they should be filed by the date they were done not by when it was returned to the student.
3. Each section should also have a folder. The folder should have two pockets - either left and right or front and back. Homework to be done or to be turned in goes in the front or left pocket. Items that need to be hole-punched and placed chronologically goes in the right or back packet.
4. All supplies should be placed in a bag or packet that is stored within the binder.
5. No item should be placed in a pocket within the binder or just stuck in the middle. Everything should have a place within the binder.
6. No items should be taken out of the binder until the unit is over or the semester has ended.
7. Items used for reference like vocabulary words or formulas can be put in plastic sheet protectors and placed together in the front of each section.
8. It is not recommended to have homework items stored in a separate location. If you separate the homework from the notes, the notes may not be available to assist with the homework. Also - the homework to be turned in should be placed within each class section not within one folder or binder. This will minimize a student arriving in class without the necessary materials.
