Hi Jacqueline, Sorry, it occurred to me that might have been unclear. I was not present when the box was opened from the publisher so unsure also as to how it's set up when it arrives, if at all. The 'sleeves' were the clear plastic three hole punched 'envelopes' (open at top) that we put the copy of the book in along with the ten or so assessment pages for that book (assume the sleeves came with the set). Because making the multiples of assessment pages made the binder then quite fat, one half of it, sequentially, got put into a second thick binder. So you had the one from publisher binder, its second half of the set in a second binder, the third from publisher binder being the alternate set (fewer copies of the assessment pages meant not so fat). Then a fourth smaller binder was there to house the originals -- but that was just for back-up, since really the person encountering "the last page" in a sleeve was to see they were replaced prior to returning it to the home shelf.
I think it'd be a terrific waste to have one per class since the cost would give you so many more 'real' books for classroom libraries. But two entire sets for sure, being that your school is larger than ours.
