There are other hanging systems on AMAZON that might also work they might be cheaper than this version too!
*PLUS...There are many different (cheaper) ways to set up/organize an “at-home” paper station. See PHOTO Options Below
A clean shoe box and some file folders are sufficient! As long as students have a “designated place to keep papers that is easily accessible,” anything will work.
Accordian File Folders or even a clean “pizza box” will work!
The key is to have a designated location to file the subject papers.
See other options pictures below.
But, the tool pictured above is a favorite with students; they literally cheered when we showed this during class! (Seriously! Surprised me, too!) They love the bright colors. I love that this requires only “one hand” to pull papers from their binder and slide into their “paper station” at home, when hung on a wall.
This can hang in the closet, off the back of the bedroom or closet door, or it can even hang on the wall. Students could even fold it up and store it on the floor in the closet, on a dresser, under the bed, in a desk drawer, or even in a dresser drawer.
The mobile hanging file is a very popular tool with students and really helps facilitate great organization at home!
The teachers will tell the students WHEN and WHAT to empty out of the BINDER. Please keep EVERYTHING in the BINDER until the teacher gives specific info about when and what to to keep at in the AT-HOME PAPER STATION.
