Hi! Welcome to Mrs. Gloger's website! I am so excited about getting to know my new students this year! Everyone will be on their way to a great start as they learn to use their organizer to record assignments and participate in class. I can tell it is going to be a great year! **I am going to help all of my students set up a binder system that will help them stay organized and they can use it throughout high school. This binder system has been found to be very helpful with most of my students. You can help your child be more organized by checking their trapper keeper each night. Help your child find the right place for papers. Every paper has a place: work to be complete goes in the front pocket of a pocket divider, work that is completed and ready to be turned in goes in the back pocket of a divider, notes and other papers should be hole punched and placed in the rings behind the appropriate class divider. If you're not sure where the paper goes, ask me and I'll gladly help you! The goal of the trapper keeper is to establish a habit of organization. :-)** If you want to have your binder set up before the first day of school, then do the following. Put 2 sharpened pencils, 1 hand held pencil sharpener, 1 blue pen, 1 black pen, 1 purple pen, 1 sharpie, 1 dry erase marker, 1 highlighter in the pencil bag and then put the bag on the rings in the front of the binder. Next, put your pocket dividers in and label them Other, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts. Finally, put about 1/3 of a package of paper in the binder behind the pocket dividers. Everything else will be picked up. Now you will be off to a great start! **Use the link for Social Studies to help you study for Social Studies tests. Most kids who use this link see a significant increase in their grades. :-)
