R.O.C.K.E.T. Binders

R.O.C.K.E.T Binders

 

Responsibly Organized Children Keep Everything Together Securely

 

What are ROCKET binders?

ROCKET binders are a way of creating organization and responsibility in students through an organized binder with indexed tabs and sheet protectors. 

 

What are the components?

It all starts with a simple 1" three-ring binder.  There are six parts to the binder:

Left Front Pocket of binder - Take Home/Bring Back Folder

**Very Important!

 

A two pocket folder is placed in the inside front pocket of the binder itself.  This is the Take Home/Bring Back folder. The Take Home side of the folder could include mail, graded work, or notes from the teacher. The Bring Back side will include homework (finished or to be done) and notes for/from the teacher.  This is the only part of the binder that goes home.  **Parents need to check this folder daily.

 

Zipper Pouch

The zipper pouch is the first thing in the binder rings. This is to hold money (real and classroom cash) safely.

Notebook Paper

This is where your child keeps his/her personal supply of Wide Ruled Notebook paper.

Indexed Tabs with subject labels

 

After the notebook paper come the indexed tabs. There are 7 tabs to be labeled with the following subjects:

Work in Progress, Reading, Writing, Math, Spelling, Social Studies, and Science.  Each area will hold papers for that subject only! 

Clear Sheet Protectors

Clear Sheet Protectors are used to preserve important information that will be referred to often throughout the school year, such as rules, calendars, multiplication charts, etc.

Class Economy Weekly Payment Receipt in back pocket of binder

**Very Important

In the back right pocket will be the Behavior Chart. The Behavior Chart is colored in daily, then placed in the Bring Back folder **to be signed by parents and every Friday and returned to school on Monday.

 

What are the rules of the ROCKET binder?

1.  You must not draw or doodle in your ROCKET. Treat it with respect. Keep it clean, as you would a pet!

2.  Do not let any of your friends have anything out of your ROCKET. It is yours, and has very important information you will need all year long.

3.  Understand the point of having a ROCKET Binder. The reason is to keep you organized, so keep IT organized!

4.  All papers go in your ROCKET. There should be no loose papers in your desk at any time!  "Every paper has a home!"  Put papers exactly where I say, when I say!  Not later!  If you listen to me about organization, you will be organized, I guarantee!  If you don't cooperate, you won't be organized.
