Student Binder - 4 Blocks

by Chuck

Aug 3, 2009

I'm absolutely new to four blocks. A colleague mentioned that the teacher before me issued each student a 3-ring binder. The binder had tabs for all the different student activities for 4 blocks...SSR, Writing, Drafts, etc. I'm interested in doing this but I have no idea of the tabs I should use. Can anyone help? The binder acted as a one-stop resource for all student work. Instead of having a number of folders everything was kept in the student's binder.

These are just some thoughts from a now retired first grade teacher who used 4 Block for about 10 years. This binder could be an AWESOME tool for parent conferences!!
