Organizational Notebooks

Our classroom theme for the upcoming year will be- Leaping Into Learning. Our organizational notebooks will be called F.R.O.G. books, which is an acronym for Fantastic Responsible Organized Girls/Guys. That's exactly the purpose for these wonderful organizational tools, to help the children become responsible and organized with all their learning. These notebooks will hold everything needed to keep our families updated on classroom and school events! I will update what will be in each child's bnder over the next few weeks. The following is what was will be in our binders:
Zippered Pencil Pouch -This will be for transferring money back and forth from home to school. Money should always be placed in an envelop labeled with your child's name on it and the purpose of the money (lunch, field trips, book orders, etc) . I'm also going to add a pencil pouch in the reading section. This will hold word cards.

Clear Plastic Page Protector- This first will hold an our daily schedule and basic classroom information and expectations.

First Manila Pocket - This is a 2-sided pocket. One side will contain any homework that needs to be comleted at home. The other side will hold graded work that should be checked and emptied nightly.

Calendar and Planner- Your child will use the planner to record daily activities and behavior. You will also use this section for communication.
