Turn In Bin Labels

About this resource

Turn-in time that runs itself. These big, clear bin labels tell children exactly where each kind of work goes, and a four-step checklist with a picture for every step shows them how to turn it in without asking you. Print, trim on the solid lines, and stick them on your bins.

Everything Inside

• 15 header labels, each with a big word and a picture: Homework, Classwork, Math, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, Late Work, Finished, Unfinished, Absent Work, Sign Me, Notes Home, Library and Return to Me.
• 3 blank labels to write your own (Art, Lunch Notes, whatever your room needs).
• 3 label sheets in color and 3 in ink saver, 6 labels to a sheet, each label 3.75 by 3 inches.
• A four-step checklist label in color and in ink saver, 6 to a sheet: write my name, find my clip number, clip my work, turn it in. Every step has a drawn picture.
• Clip-number labels 1 to 30 in color and in ink saver, 1.5 inches square, to tape on clothespins or binder clips.
• A poster for the wall: How We Turn In Work.
• 2 student pages: How I turn in work (four steps with a box to check each one), and Which bin? (draw a line from the work to its bin).
• Teacher pages: bin set-up with tips and an answer line for the student page, a 30-row turn-in tracker, a filled example (8 invented students, one week), and a note home for families.
• Start Here, terms of use and a thank-you page.

How It Works

Number a clip for each child (the clip-number labels tape right on). Children write their name, take their own clip off the board, clip it to their work and put both in the right bin. A clip still hanging on the board tells you whose work has not come in yet. No chasing, no asking.

Built For Little Hands

This Is A Print-And-Cut Pdf

It is a PDF for printing, not an editable file. There are no type-in fields and the label words cannot be changed; the blank labels, the tracker and the note home are written by hand. It works offline in any PDF reader.

Who This Is For

PreK to 3rd grade classrooms, including self-contained and resource rooms, and anyone who wants turn-in bins that children can use on their own.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

Labels and routine pages for your own classroom. Your school's own rules for late work, absences and grading are separate; there is a line on the set-up page to write yours.
