Personalize and Customize Your Homework Folders!

Do you remember back-to-school shopping when you were little? One memory that many members of the Teach Starter team have in common is always wanting those customized pencils, folders, and backpacks. There was just something about having personalized materials that made them that much more special and easier to keep track of!

You don’t have to go out and buy unique materials to give your students special personalized materials; all it takes is a few minutes of typing, some printing, and a whole lot of coloring (done by the students themselves)! These printable take-home folder inserts are the perfect first-day-of-school activity with a purpose!

Printable Folder Covers with a Purpose!

These printable coloring pages are perfect for sliding into clear-covered folders, binders, etc. They can also be glued to the fronts of standard paper folders using glue or clear packing tape. We’ve included a variety of covers and font choices, all of which are completely editable. 

Teacher Tip – You can even edit and print these to serve as covers for marble composition notebooks! Type in your student names, etc., then set your printer to scale to 87%. Now your covers are the perfect size for your composition books!

Download and print.

Kindergarten Homework Folders and Binders

Here are my thoughts, no matter what grade....

• homework needs to be meaningful- you shouldn't give homework just to give it.
• it should never be something the kids haven't had prior experience doing.   In other words, you don't assign an addition page if you've yet to introduce it in your own classroom.
• it should be fun- you want the kids to want to do their homework.

My homework...

• is always an extension of something we have been learning about at school.
• is always a format they are already familiar with
• doesn't take long to complete 
• is sent home daily, in order to develop a routine
• is something my students want, even on Fridays.

Take home folders: part 1.

I really love how you set up your folders! Thanks for the great ideas. Where did you get those amazing green folders??

Paige- Office Depot!

How do you get your labels to stay on? I've tried them on poly folders and they seem to fall off.

Courtney- I've found the smooth plastic folders work the best! The ones that have a lot of texture stick, but the ends can peel up. Also, make sure you buy the GOOD labels! :) Hope that helps!

Is this ediatable enough to change to spanish? It's so unfortunate there aren't any spanish resources and I don't have time to create any...... :(

I have something very similar, however, this hits it right out the park! "GO" Ms. Liz!

Love this idea!! I will hopefully start teaching in September. I have already put this in my TPT cart to buy once I'm hired. Thank you!

I did the same for my 1st graders one year, but mine said, "to be LEFT at home," "to be sent RIGHT back." They were placed on the LEFT and RIGHT sides of the folder.

FREE Preschool Binder Covers! Editable Name and Year 2024-2025

When I was teaching, rather than sending home all of their completed work every week, I collected some of my first graders work throughout the year. At the end of the year, I compiled them in a binder and gave it to the parents. They loved it!

I know some people are all about decluttering and only keeping digital files of their children’s work. But I am a little (ok–A LOT) sentimental when it comes to my kids’ things!

I created this preschool binder cover while I was doing homeschool preschool with my son and wanted to share them with you all!

What is a binder without a cute cover?! To me, that’s what makes a binder complete 🙂

Preschool Binder Cover FREE printable!

I created homeschool preschool binder covers that are available for instant download in a PDF file. And the best part is…it’s FREE! The child’s name and the year is also editable in Canva, and there are 5 different border options and 5 different apples to choose from as well.

*You will need a Canva account, but they are free to create, and very easy to navigate.

Preschool Binder

This is what it looks like in the binder. I got the binder from Target, but here’s a similar one from Amazon .

Printable Preschool Homework Folder Covers

Do you include some sort of homework in your preschool program? Although we don’t believe preschoolers should be getting lengthy assignments or nightly worksheets to take home, we do think having some sort of homework can be a great parental involvement tool that both the kids and parents can enjoy.

Parents like to know how they can support their child’s learning at home, and they like to know what kinds of things kids are learning in the classroom. Plus kids love showing what they can do and sharing all they are learning with their families. This is one tool for helping them do that.

Printable Preschool Homework Calendars

In our printable preschool homework calendar set (available in our shop and on TpT ) we share a full year’s worth of activity ideas for homework that require little preparation and are fun for kids. Each week includes a math activity, a language/literacy activity, a movement activity, a “helpful” activity, and a drawing activity.

You can see an example and learn a little more about the use of the homework calendars in this homework calendar post  on Fun-A-Day.

But we know teachers are also organizers, and we like to have things nicely labeled and in order. So we knew you’d like to have a cover for these homework folders. Well you’re in luck. We’ve got some…and they’re free!

In this free printable set there are:

• 3 Different Folder Cover Options-One that says “Homework Folder”, one that says “Take Home Folder” and one that says “Preschool Folder”
• 7 Different Designs for Each Cover Option-one option with two children, three boy options, four girl options, and one blank option if you want to let kids design their own cover

The covers are black and white so kids can personalize them and add their own unique touch.

Tips for Using Your Homework Folders

Decide whether you will have a separate homework folder or whether you will  include homework calendars in one main take home folder. The are pros and cons to both. If you have a separate homework folder kids can add any drawings and notes to the folder and return it when it is due instead of having things in the main folder daily. However, sometimes having two folders means one might get misplaced or not get returned on the due day. Whatever you decide clearly explain the expectations to your parents and keep an extra folder or two on hand just in case.

Choose whether you will ask for the homework to be returned or not. Some teachers prefer to send homework calendars home as an option and do not ask for them to come back to school. (If you choose this option, you may not want to have separate homework folders.) Others like to have kids bring their homework back as a way to see what families have done and recognize the work the kids did at home.

If you will be requesting that the homework calendars get returned, decide whether you’ll be collecting it weekly or monthly and be sure to notify (and remind!) parents.

Make turning it in an event if you can by allowing kids to share one of their favorite homework activities. If you’re using separate homework folders, they can choose a drawing that they did. They can also describe an activity they did at home. This can lead to a lot of wonderful sharing opportunities and class discussion.

Free Printable Kindergarten and First Grade File Folder Quick Reference Guide

This post contains affiliate links.

Create a colorful quick reference guide for kids to look at with lots of different information!

Beginning letters, alphabet writing, long and short vowel sounds, days of the week, months of the year, left and right, time, shapes, colors, number sense up to 10, place value, and clock hands are included!

I made this for my daughter to use during school hours. I used glue to adhere it to the file folder, I wouldn’t suggest that because it made the ink smear slightly. I think tape would have been a lot better.

Instructions:

• Print out the pdf.
• Laminate the pages or put into the notebooks.
• Glue or tape onto a file folder or hole punch and put into a notebook.

The page order doesn’t matter that much. You can place them in any order you want.

A few things that might help.

I am trying to find some introducing numbers pages. The one I have an example of from your website is for “The Number Nine”. It has Kindergarten Math on the top of the page. It has practice writing the number, then draw nine squares, then trace the word, then count the pigs and color, then trace 1-9. I love it for introducing and practicing one number at a time.

I LOVE your website! I have looked in several of the links for kindergarten, but cannot find this particular set of worksheets. Any help, please?

Hi! Thank you! 🙂 I think the ones you are looking for are part of the daily math set

Preschool Learning Folder

Having visual reminders, like an alphabet chart , are super helpful as we support our young learners. But you may not have room to dedicate an entire wall or area to this. This can be especially true in small classrooms or in the homeschool environment. Having a small, portable folder can provide those same visual reminders. That’s exactly what this preschool learning folder can do!

I thought you might be interested in taking a peek inside the preschool learning folder, so here you go.

There are two options for the front: one for a boy and one for a girl. Both also come in blackline. Just write your preschooler’s name on the front so you can keep track if you have multiple preschoolers.

The inside has an Alphabet Chart, a place for you to write in learners’ first names, a rhyming section, and a section for common opposites.

The back has some preschool math skills such as color names, shape names, and numbers 0-30. {If you want, you can swap the rhyming/opposites page that were on the inside of the folder with this page.}

Teach Older Learners? We’ve got folders for them, too!

• Kindergarten Spelling Folder
• Spelling Folder {for 1st-2nd grades}
• Elementary Spelling Folder {for 3rd-5th grades}

Enjoy teaching! ~Becky
