foldables storage

i will post more on this later, but so far the solution to the potential nightmare with foldables (where and how to store) has been a composition book. I like composition books just about as much as binder clips. it must be a teacher thing. i hoard composition books like crazy. my favorite thing to do with them is to put a book cover on them so that i can store pens and post-it notes in there.

i'm diverging.

moral of the story...i think the composition book will be the foldables BFF. i'm trying it out in tutoring to get confirmation that it is the way to go next year for my classes.

best way to store foldables

I am pretty sure this is the reason I took a vacation from foldables in the first place...I had no idea what the best way to have the kids store them.

We are making out okay currently by copying a sheet with a header on it and having the kids glue the foldable to it. From there, they add the page to their 3 ring binder with the rest of their math stuff.

I MIGHT (notice the emphasis on 'might') have come up with a solution for random, vulnerable foldables for the future. I am trying it out with the students I am tutoring before and after school. Rather than adding the foldables to a sheet of paper, we are gluing/taping them into a composition book, hence creating a customized, unique math textbook that can be used as a reference for this year and beyond. I wish I had thought of it earlier, but now I have the time to try it out with tutoring and hopefully identify any glitches prior to implementing the idea with close to 100 kids.

Any thoughts are welcome.
