The Best Organization Tool You Can Buy Under $15

I, like many teachers require my students to purchase a binder for my science class. Some teachers allow their students to have a section in a multi-subject binder, while I require my students to have a binder dedicated to science in the hope of keeping them more organized. Ultimately, it is inevitable that pages get loose at the rings and then they are vulnerable to being lost. There is one must-have item to help keep all pages of a binder neat and organized and it is the a Kokuyo One Patch Stamp, hole reinforcer for looseleaf paper.

There are an endless number of supplies that find their way onto our shopping lists and then into our shopping carts both in store and or online. As an educator starting my 28th year, I too have purchased a significant number of supplies, and every once in a while an item will come along that absolutely amazes me in simplicity and usefulness.

The Kokuyo One Patch Stamp for repairing torn loose-leaf holes for binder pages is that item. I came upon this item because it was gifted to me by a student.

As a teacher I am always trying to model neatness and organization, and if I am going to require my students to utilize a binder for their assignments, I always use mine as a model. Even as I try my best to maintain neatness and organization with my binder of assignments, it is inevitable that a page in my binder will get loose here or there due to a torn hole in the paper. Sure, you can purchase reinforcer stickers as they are common everywhere, but this stamp is far more efficient at reinforcement.

Honestly, the Kokuyo One Patch Stamp is one of my favorite supplies. It's a workhorse in classroom for repairing not only my torn binder sheets but hundreds of my students pages. It is crucial that my students have all the materials they need for my class. One lost page can have a huge impact on their learning. This stamp does everything in its power to prevent my students from losing the papers they need to study. I tell my students that purchasing one would be one of their smarter school supply purchases. My colleagues have seen me with it and now they too are purchasing their own.
