Free School Folder Labels For Teachers
Back to School has us in a chokehold of classroom function, style, and organization. The organization fairies have been hard at work preparing new labels for student folders. Get your peel-and-stick fingers ready because it’s school folder frenzy time, and we are showing up with free school folder labels for teachers.

Let’s Get Labeling
Come sit in our tiny chairs as we gather around the student tables to label together! Let’s kick it off with our Take Home Folders. Many times, we have a school-issued label for our Take Home folders, but nothing is guaranteed so we created a couple just in case.
One of our favorite additions to the Take Home folder are the inside pocket labels. Not only do we get to practice left and right, but we can stay more organized. Parents can easily see what is expected, so there’s less confusion.
The resources pictured above help keep parent communication as simple and streamlined as can be. The links below will take you to posts to learn about each resource.
- Editable Newsletters,
- Editable Homework Calendars (available K-5), and
- Guided Math Home Connection (available K-4).
Morning Work Management
No matter what you choose to have students do during their morning minutes, you’ll be ready to manage any loose recording sheets, scratch paper, notes, or skill work. Our go-to resources for the morning trickle-in time are the Rise and Shine Binder, Daily Math and Daily Language, and Tub Tasks.
ALL THINGS ELA
Moving on to our ELA labels, we have four labels: literacy, reading, spelling, poems, and phonics. These posts share our favorite resources for all things ELA.
Math
Our math folders hold our station work, skill pages, scratch work, exit tickets– all things math! We also use a math journal as a workstation- a student favorite. We will link more about all of our favorite math resources, too, of course.

Science and Social Studies
Science and social studies most often take the form of interactive learning folding booklets. We use read-alouds, videos, hands-on lessons, and writing to explore our important topics.
Meeting Standards Through Science and Social Studies Themes
We also keep a science journal with a year’s worth of activities.
Writing
The crossover of science and social studies themes into our writing is a perfect way to cover a lot of material simultaneously and keep it seasonal and high interest too. We use a year of mini-lessons for writers’ workshop.

Data, RTI, and Intervention
For progress monitoring, data, and all things intervention, we have the Intervention Solution.
Ketchup and Mustard Work
Making sure students keep track of must do (mustard) and catch-up (ketchup) work is way more fun with a pun. This label can be on a class folder or bin to housework that students may need to get to when they return from an absence or anytime assignments need to be made up.
