Binders are on every back to school list. And the possibilities of organizing with these tools is endless. We put together our favorite ways in which you can make binder organization a little more fun for your students through the school year.
Organize Art
Do you ever find yourself at the end of the school year with piles of art, writing pieces, or milestone papers from the entire school year? This year start a different process that will eliminate mounds of papers from a year’s worth of school. Create a school binder for each kid. Get a binder and fill it with empty sheet protectors. That way if there is something that your child wants to size, it goes straight into the binder.
It’s also fun to use the free printables for each kid to fill out at the beginning and end of the school year!
