WHAT I IMPLEMENTED THIS PAST SUMMER!!!

This past summer I implemented a color coded system to my class room. I purchased crates, folders, dividers, and other sundry items in bright blue, red, and green. In the previous semester I had a problem with students forgetting their folders so the large crates (color coded for each class - blue 1st period, red 2 nd period, green 4 th period) are placed in front of the white board and students can now leave their folders in these crates at the end of class if needed or take them home as needed. The folders I use to put in all printed handouts and assignments for each class - just like our NTI binder but not as detailed.

This system has added color to the class room and has solved the problem of students not having a binder in class on a daily basis. I have random notebook checks and give a grade after check is completed. This grade is placed in the grade book. Quite a few students had all the work in - some did not. This was a success for me, maybe you all can try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
