Leslie, the author, is one of those people that just has an undeniable zest for teaching. I’m not one who would typically follow a kindergarten blog, because a lot of the content shouldn’t apply to ecse-land.

Thanks to the fabulous Leslie, from KindergartenWorks, I have decided to consolidate my system. Leslie just posted an incredible entry on her blog about how she keeps everything important together in one binder, in her post on Binder Basics.
