Teacher Gift: Student Info Folder

Hi there friends,
Hope you're enjoying this beautiful Labor Day Holiday (those of you here in the states).
Today, I've got another teacher project for ya. It's something I use in my classroom & love! I use it to jot down quick notes on students while teaching & working with them. I love it because I have info on my entire class in one organized place.

It's very easy to do & uses basic office/school supplies.
You'll need: 1 file folder, 5x8 index cards, & some tape
Here's the cover:

For the cover, I used the Simply Charmed Cricut cart to create the notebook page. (OMGoooosh, this cart is awesome!) It's got the cutest images that cover every holiday & major event throughout the year. If you love Doodle Charms, this is the cart for you! I deleted (hide/contour) the little smiley face that's on the page so it would be the blank notebook page. I cut out the letters from the Varsity Letter cart. The cute image is Teacher Honey from CC Designs. To finish it up, I added a little hand paper clip to the top corner & pen details along the edges.

To get started, you'll need to adhere an index card beginning at the bottom of the folder with a piece of tape as shown:

Then add the next one the same way lining it up with the red line- adding a piece of tape to cover the card & the folder. This will create a tab and will allow you to easily flip a card & write your note.

Continue the same way:

until you reach the top:

You will use 11 cards --->This gives me 10 spaces for students & the top page is there just to hide the info for the first student from sight (privacy).

Do the same thing to the other side. If you have more than 20 students, you can use the smaller index cards in the same way.

All that's left to do is write students' names on each tab.
Like this:

I usually do 1 side for boys, 1 side for girls & in alphabetical order by first name- that makes it easier for me to find a student.

Sadly, these gorgeous examples of the male specimen are not in my class- they are just examples. Plus, in my class, Johnny would come first :)

Huh? You haven't heard of Alexander or Joe??? (I KNOW you know my Johnny---> emphasis on the --->MY<---. Well, Alexander & Joe are THE hottest vampire & werewolf found on HBO's True Blood. So... now you know I'm Team Eric & Team Alcide!!! How can you ask a girl to choose???
