folders


Over the course of the past year, I have had the opportunity to visit many classrooms.  I have seen many unique and practical strategies that teachers use everyday to help their classrooms function smoothly.  I wanted to share an idea I saw in Hillory Hamilton’s room. 

Hillory’s room has a tough layout for testing.  Students are seated in groups of 4 and share a common table.  For testing, Hillory supplies each student with manila file folders.  The students stand the up and make mini study carrels. As students finish their tests, they slide the test into one of the folders, keeping it out of sight of their neighbors.  Brilliant, yet simple, solution!
