What is a DOLPHIN Binder?

​In order to help our students with the responsibility and organization of various classroom handouts and learning resources, each student in our fourth grade class will keep a one-inch 3- ring binder called our DOLPHIN Binder. Students will use this binder everyday in class. The binder contains a binder zipper pouch and various sheet protectors filled with important handouts and learning resources. Since the binder will be mainly used during class time, students will keep their DOLPHIN Binders in the classroom at all times. If any information from the binder needs to be taken home, students will simply pull out the pages needed for home learning and place those in their Thursday Folders (which is separate from the DOLPHIN Binder). The pages will then be returned to the DOLPHIN Binder once students finish using them for home learning. The overall purpose of these binders is to provide students with useful resources and reference sheets that will allow them to stay organized and enable their learning process.
