This is one of the systems Donna Goldberg recommends for middle school kids.

She says middle school is getting so much more complicated than it was just 10 years ago that a lot of kids are switching from her preferred system, the zippered binder, to the accordion file.

Christopher's zippered binder comes with a small accordion file of its very own.




(this isn't it. this is the zippered binder linked to on MrsKsPlace.)

UPDATE 7-23-2006: We've given up on zippered binders. They explode in two weeks. We're using the Globe-Weis Fabric Poly Files now and they work great. Christopher managed to get through 4 months of school with one file. His friend M. has one, too, and all is well.
