Now, I use a file folder pocket chart organizer like this.<br />http://www.amazon.com/Smethport-Organization-Center-Pocket-Chart/dp/B001JTQDGQ<br /><br />It serves two purposes. My students put their daily folders in there (sideways). If they have unfinished work, they put it in vertically in front of the folder, so it's easily seen. (Workbooks fit too!) If it's still unfinished at the end of the day, it's easy to see, and we can decide if it needs to be taken home to be finished. This system works well for us. <br /><br />HTH & nice blog, ladies :)<br /><br />DianeDiane Stricklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401714928530347829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873401656090798277.post-70435429957883194992013-07-13T15:19:52.306-07:002013-07-13T15:19:52.306-07:00I know....she is always doing that to me LOL!
Tha...I know....she is always doing that to me LOL!<br /><br />That is a good idea using sticky notes in the books. Are you going to have them turn in the 4-pocket folder at certain times? <br /><br />Thanks for sharing these good ideas!Teaching Little Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694650140067870645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873401656090798277.post-39785716018981957032013-07-13T14:46:47.902-07:002013-07-13T14:46:47.902-07:00Well, any workbooks with unfinished pages got stic...Well, any workbooks with unfinished pages got stickynotes put on pages I wanted the students to work on. Did that help students finish those pages? From what I observed this past year, it actually got the job done! (she said with pleasant surprise). This year, I am going to use 4-pocket folders that students will keep in their desk and 1 of those pockets will be designated for unfinished loose work. We'll see how that goes! I think I'll still try my sticky note method for workbooks though! Good luck!<br />BTW, Crystal, I love how you totally outted her!;) true teamie-love!<br /><a href="http://sweetschoolmoments.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">SynonymRolls&AntonymMoments</a>Amber O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07965938347372020092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873401656090798277.post-53206090560523671442013-07-13T08:51:57.003-07:002013-07-13T08:51:57.003-07:00LOL!

What she is not telling you is that she likes for the kids to keep their workbooks in there too!!! :-)<br /><br />I think that is why mine held up a little better - although I did have to replace several about the time we got to spring break, so I'm interested in your thoughts as well! <br /><br />CrystalTeaching Little Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694650140067870645noreply@blogger.com
