Student Home-School Folders

Have you ever found yourself needing emergency copies because a parent has accidentally recycled a paper you are still working on? or homework? Here is how I solved this in my classroom -

I attach Left at Home and Bring Right Back labels to the inside of my student's take home folders. This isn't a new idea - I first found this idea years ago on Mrs. Meacham's website. She describes her BEE books and even provides files you can print. Check it out here.

I use a Mac and have a love/hate relationship with Pages for creating labels.  Enter Avery Design and  Print.  It is a free download and allows you to create labels easily in any of their products sizes. Check it out here.  Be sure to print out extra labels the beginning of the school year - folder tragedies happen!
