There are a few options for organization. Some students prefer to use the binder method, other students prefer notebooks and folders, and some prefer the hanging folder system.

Binder Method:

2 large 3 ring binders
2 sets of 8 Tab dividers
3 packs of loose-leaf

Notebook/Folder Method:

9 notebooks (per quarter)
9 folders (per quarter)

It makes sense for these to be matching ie. Yellow folder and Yellow notebook for Social Studies.

1 Box of Hanging File Folders
3 packs of loose-leaf
