FOR Elementary School Students-Ordering Recommendation:
You may want your own 3-Ring zipper binder. If this is the case, then just order a DocOA pocket only kit which will cover 5 subjects. That may be needed for 3rd grade.
In grades 1-3 consider breaking up the pockets sets and using them for PROJECTS. That is typically how teaching is organized in these lower grades. You may not need to use all the pockets in the kit at first. Start simple with the twin pockets, then add in the other pockets once you have the organizing process in hand.
Get a few cornell notebook singles. That will provide plenty of paper for each project and is a light weight portable solution for notes. Also consider getting a speed pad for doing homework(50pp college ruled pad is included). In this way, you wont be ripping papers out of your class notebooks to do your homework.
If you want to use our ring system in an economical configuration, then a great combination is to order the 5 pack of nested pocket sets WITH the cover upgrade pak. This will provide a pencil case, set of 3 locking 1.5" rings and a set of 2 durable pressboard covers. That will allow you to configure a compete binder "all-in-one" solution without having to go out and purchase an expensive 3 ring binder that most likely will break in a couple of weeks.
One more thing: ARCHIVING. If you don's have an archive solution yet, consider just pulling the papers out and stapling them together by unit or project and keeping them in a box. This will most likely be sufficient. You can consider ordering our ARCHIVE PAK WITH RINGS. This will give you effectively 6 ring binders to keep all your unit level work when you no longer need to carry it in your daily binder. This is the most economical way to archive. Keep these archives at home and use them regularly to put away your papers for later reference. This will allow you to keep the most streamlined daily binder going.
All of the items will appear below. Click on any one to add it to your basket. Consider attending one of our peak performance training workshops. You may choose NOT to involve your student in this session. You get all the ideas then become your student's mentor. That will give you the lifelong joy of working together on this critical application, instead of being in a struggle about organization. You can schedule your seat at one of our short training sessions where we will review all of the big ideas in organizing literacy that you will need to get it done.
