I literally had visions of the classroom binder in my head as I slept this morning, so then I was inspired to create a pack of classroom binder sets for several different classroom themes!
I used the PIRATE binder in my room this year and it makes it so much easier to communicate with parents and get students organized with sending their homework, notes, and graded papers to and from school.
I used the PIRATE binder in my room this year and it makes it so much easier to communicate with parents and get students organized with sending their homework, notes, and graded papers to and from school.
Themes included in the pack are:
PIRATE, STAR, PRIDE, CHEF, JUNGLE, DOT, CAMP, HERO, BEE, STRIPE, PAWS, ROCK STAR, SEA, and BEACH! If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Here is a preview!
Above are just the binder covers. I have MUCH more that will be included to make the classroom binder possible in your classroom including labels and printables for your binder. I haven't quite finished, so I hope to have these done and posted soon with a FREEBIE also!
To the right is a picture of the binder I used a couple of years ago, just so you can get an idea.
The themes will all be bundled together, that way, if you ever change your classroom theme, ALL of the binder printables will be at your fingertips!
What do you guys think?
Other binder themes?
If it becomes too many themes in one pack, I may have to make divide it into two sets!
I'd love to see one for a "retro" theme...We're doing a peace, love, & {our mascot} theme school wide this year! I've been trying (not terribly hard) to come up with an acronym, but haven't yet. We did binders last year, and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can come up with Jackie! =)
Deletebeach/surf :) You know me...hehe :)
ReplyDeleteI've got beach on my list Jen! =)
Deletewell if you mustache???
ReplyDeleteI really would love... mustache theme... FO REALS!!!
I can't believe it but that is going to be my theme :)
could be called the STACHE binder...

I'll come up with something! =)
Deleteoh my gosh! the stache binder! I may have to change my Groovy binder up! that's too much!!!

Thanks Amy!
DeleteThese are way cute. I love the acronyms! Not exactly for students, but if you are trying to organize teacher binders by theme, I just made some binder covers and spine labels for teacher binders.

I loooove your ideas! I've done organizational binders for my students the last few years, I don't know how I taught without them! I do a "beach buddies" theme in my room and last year I called their binders their "Buddy books." I'm really curious to see your BEACH books. Will you sell them individually or just in a pack? Thanks for sharing and inspiring! :)

Ohh, I can't wait. We call our students stars, so the S.T.A.R. binder would be perfection (LOL...Friends joke...so sorry).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see these! If you are looking for other ideas this is the sight I used to find other acronyms. http://www.smithsroom.com/MOOSE_Acronyms.htm
ReplyDeleteHow about a western theme?
ReplyDeleteyes a western theme would be great!!
DeleteCan you add an "Owl" theme as well? Thanks!!

We are doing the Monkey theme. My Own Notebook Keeps Everything Yearlong. Your decorating is so cute, so I would love to see how your design would turn out!
ReplyDeleteLeaping Lizards theme! All the kids in my school know me as the teacher who loves lizards!
ReplyDeleteThe last couple of years I have done a class binder...I am a newer teacher (this will be my 4th year) and I would love to use your fantastically cute ideas to make it better. I am new to following blogging but I think you have me hooked! Thank you.

Stop by & visit me @ Fun in 1st Grade
I used a BEAR book in my special needs PreK class last year and the parents loved it (so did I)! I plan to use a STAR theme next year in my 1st grade class. I just found your website and I love the covers. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of what you are doing. Thank you for the ideas and for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLoving camp theme! Just finish first for goodness sakes! Then add other themes! :)
ReplyDeleteA MONSTER theme!
ReplyDeleteA FROG theme :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe a tech theme.... We are all choosing decades and our grade level chose the 2000s and up. iPod iPad etc...
ReplyDeleteLove your post on student organization binders. I have used them for many,many years, and will continue using them. They are the most useful thing for the classroom. I just added a post on my blog about the binders. Come take a look! http://www.doreensrockin3rdgrade.com. I will link you to my blog, could you do the same?
ReplyDeleteAre the binder packs available for purchase?
