What's in Your Binder?--Tons of FREEBIE links

My teacher binder IS my life!  I hold everything in it and...well....it gets a little messy as the year goes on.  It is also what motivates me and gets me ready for the school year to start.  And it has been my mission this past week.

The first thing in my binder are my lesson plans.  I have ELEVEN groups this year in my schedule!!  As the Title I teacher, every second of my time is spent in small group or one on one settings.  These lessons are what I use the most because every group, every kid is different.  I spend a lot of time planning.  My lessons are super simple but it works out perfectly for what I need.

 Then I have my calendars.  I keep my district calendar for all the upcoming big events.  Then I have a blank calendar to write in meeting dates, school events, celebrations, and anything else that pops up! The calendar goes Monday-Sunday.  It is my FIRST fan freebie on our FB page.

Next up, my schedules.  Since we are departmentalized and I am moving to four different classrooms, my schedules are.....hmmmm.....SUPER important!  I color code them based on the group and class.

 I use many different guided reading references to help me write my lesson plans each week.  We use Reading Street as one of our guides for phonics and comprehension.  I have a "quick sheet" to help me look at the skills that will be focused on.  Then I have my SnapWords lists.  We use their sight words and I use this checklist I created to keep track of the individual lists that each of my groups are on.

 All of the instructional calendars come next.  I only have the writing one printed off so far.  But I like to keep these in the binders to make sure that I'm on the right track with the rest of the district.

 Then come the standards.  I have quite a few documents for this section.  I like to have the Common Core standards listed in a quick reference form.  But I also want a continuum.  We have two vertical meetings a week as a K-2 team.  Looking at the standards and how they grow off each other is really important to me and the success of our building team.

The last part of my binder has another set of reference sheets in it but for intervention or RTI.  I have a simple little chart to keep track of the IAT meetings that have been held and the changes that we have implemented.  A sheet with the benchmark scores that the school district is looking for on specific assessments.  And an "If....Then" sheet to help with specific interventions.

I hope this helps you to start or add to your binder.  But...one question....what am I missing?  Is there anything you put in your binder that I should add to mine?
