Blue Daily Folders (They will contain a monthly conduct calendar, a weekly homework sheet/newsletter/study guide, and notes.)
Your child will bring this folder home every afternoon in his/her backpack. Be sure to send it back to school the following day. It will contain a calendar listing some important dates for the month. A color coded mark signifying your child’s behavior rating for the day will be drawn. A brief description of misconducts will also be written. Initial the calendar after offering praise to your child or discussing ways to improve his/her behavior. Throughout the week, various school-wide and classroom specific notes will be sent home in the pocket of this folder. Please take the time to thoroughly read them and remove them from your child's folder. Attached to the prongs of the folder will be a zipper pouch. Use this for all money and personal notes to ensure it will be found as soon as your child comes in the classroom each morning. I am not able to regularly check backpacks or pockets. On Monday (or the following school day if we are not at school on Monday), a homework sheet/newsletter/study guide will be sent home in the pockets of this folder. If your child attends our CUBS afterschool program it is important that this paper stays in his/her blue folder each day so the staff will be able to assist your child during homework time. I will not check for completion or remove it until Friday.
Weekly Folders (They will contain graded work, a skills checklist, and a teacher-parent communication log regarding academics.)
Your child will bring this folder home most Monday afternoons (or the following school day if we are not at school on Monday) in his/her backpack. Be sure to send it back to school the following day along with the stapled packet of your child's class work inside. It will contain a stapled packet of your child’s class work that he/she completed the previous week. Please review all of the papers with your child. Attached (to the left) will be a checklist with a list of skills that should be mastered within the current nine week grading period and (to the right) a place for teacher-parent communication. Please sign both sheets and the first page of your child's stapled class work packet acknowledging that you reviewed the contents of the folder.
Red Reading Folders (They will contain a reading log, sight word flash cards on a binder ring, and books or other reading materials.
Beginning around September, your child will bring this folder home on most Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons in his/her backpack. Be sure to send it back to school the following day along with the books or reading materials and sight words inside. It will contain books or reading materials that have been used with your child during small group instruction. He/she should be quite familiar with the texts. Please remember, to always treat our classroom books and reading materials appropriately. Once your child is able to read the books or reading materials fluently and correctly, sign the reading log. This reading log will only be used to document books and reading materials assigned and sent home in red reading folders, not personal books from home or library books. A set of sight words flash cards on a binder ring inside a name labeled ziploc bag will be given to each student. After practicing reading the sight words with your child each night please place them back in his/her ziploc bag and return them in the zipper pouch of his/her red folder each day.
