She believes in teaching kinders how to be pretty incredible along with teaching them to read, write and think for themselves. She enjoys drinking hot tea, making mud pies with her three kids and sharing what she's learned with teachers. Creating a Name Writing Notebook for your preschoolers and kindergarteners!

After re-printing the entire binder for my whole class, replacing the page protectors, and almost crying from exhaustion and defeat, I had my first set of Take Home Binders.

Help me give my students resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, dry erase boards, dividers, sheet protectors, and more to create individual binders. It's see-through, which makes it easy on kinders, parents, and the teacher. Plus, the shape of the slash pocket means that kinders can slide full-size papers in and out on their own. So now here I am, almost 30 years old and much wiser. Parents know where to look for EVERYTHING because EVERYTHING is in the binder. Students start managing themselves and their belongings.

I feel the need to get more organized with every passing year! Can you tell me what size binders you used? I was thinking 1″ but not sure after seeing all the things that go in the binder.

I added a "WORK" label onto the pocket and a one-liner to make it easy for everyone to understand the purpose. Pretty much all of the "stuff" that we get in the course of a day or comes from the office goes home in this pocket. Parents sort through and take it out daily or regularly. The purpose of the front pocket is to organize daily papers to take home.

It bears repeating… I always made sure to include my contact information at the top of the page.

The monthly calendar allowed me to remind students and parents of important events and changes. As you know how crazy going through papers daily can be - especially if there is a fundraiser, popcorn day or picture day... I wanted to separate communicating behavior, special events and sending in money/forms/signed papers. So we used the middle fasteners to hold an additional pocket and a monthly piece of paper. Our folders are taken home every day and brought back to school.

Let's organize, think and teach smart so you can make learning fun, age-appropriate and the cool thing to do. There you have my secrets to creating an awesome daily folder in kindergarten. We kept a hole punched, double-sided piece of paper just behind the transparent parent communication mail sleeve. As part of their daily routine, kinders check this pocket in the morning before putting their folder in their cubbies. During the first few months of Kindergarten we eat, breathe, and I'm pretty sure dream about letters! Wouldn’t it be nice to just pick up the phone and talk to someone about it?

I also copied our weekly reading log on the back. In this way, I could be sure it was seen each week. As a parent, I know life gets busy… so I want to be sure the newsletter gets home in the student binder.

I choose "poly" plastic folders to last all year long. They are the two pocket kind with fasteners. I think there are a few things you can do to make a daily folder setup successful and easy for kindergartners to use. That’s when I bit the bullet and went out to buy a class set of 1-inch, white binders with a clear cover. You can actually get them in sets of 2 from Staples, although the Staples brand binders aren’t nearly as sturdy as the Avery binders.
